The Falcon 3.0 box was huge just to contain this manual. The game had so much depth and the manual somehow was able to make it make sense.

If you detailed game you may enjoy DCS manuals as well: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/document...
The DCS AJS-37 plane is based on the official declassified pilot's manual.

The DCS manual contains many diagrams taken from it as well.

If I remember right, I think my copy even shipped with a VHS tape of instruction. So many hours spent on it.
And you can rewatch it in all its compressed glory:

Oh wow, I didn't know this existed, thank you
People still use that tape to learn how to dogfight in modern simulators.
