Re: Earthbound (SNES)
So I'm in Fourson and Paula has been kidnapped by an alien in a department store. Any idea how to kill this guy? The FAQs say to use your bottle rockets, but I already used them up!!

Phantasy Star 2 had included one as well.

I know your pain having to deal with this abomination! You can also use Ness' current highest level PSI Attack, and have Jeff use either bottle rockets, bombs, and perhaps the HP Sucker, if not go for general offense.

Ditto Sword of Vermilion and the Gateway series on PC. Also, a Lunar game had theirs in hardcover.

I've heard that Phantasy Star III and IV had a similar inclusion.
Starflight (Genesis) came with a mini-novella that was included in the VERY large manual, which served as a light guide for several key aspects. Need to dig out my copy again, I recall that was a good manual to read in general.
SimCity SNES also included a glorified mini-guide in its manual as well.
There were several other games that included guides in the manual for playing up to a certain point, though this would be a very long list.
As for Earthbound itself... I've tried to get in to playing it, and just can't find the interest to keep going, especially with the laundry list of other RPGs that are available that get my interest, such as Saga Frontier, Romancing Saga 2 + 3, Star Ocean, and Dragon Quest XI (and Alliance Alive Switch, need to get back to that one...).

I love Airplane! - it has to be one of my favorite movies ever. So many perfect gags and one-liners.
