I have fond memories of the early DOS version (1.something). Its tutorial was a masterclass (included full screen ascii graphics illustrating the scenarios) and as a kid playing on my father's laptop I went through it several times. I particularly enjoyed the database tutorial where you worked on WHODUNIT.WDB to solve the mystery of a murder at a ski slope by narrowing down the customers against clues...

Microsoft Works 2.0 also had the tutorial! I don't remember the ascii graphics - maybe my IBM PS/2 didn't show them, or maybe I have brain damage. (edit: was there a mountain picture?)

It ruined my expectations for help documents forevermore: nothing was as cool.

The graphics weren't elaborate, I just remember things like the illustration of a storefront before you worked on an inventory spreadsheet, or the ascii picture of a telephone and modem before the "Communications" tool (i.e. telnet) section.
