    If anyone is old enough to remember Infocom games, they came with “feelies,” just random fun stuff related to the game they decided to include. It occasionally was needed to solve a game puzzle, but usually not.

    I can still smell that box. They had a certain smell back then.

        Getting a new game and having books and stickers to mess with on the ride home until you can play the game.

          “Kids these days” will never know that feeling. Of course, they’ll have their ipads, so probably won’t care.
