Anyone can lie about those.
True but WTF would be the point of writing down a fake score? :roll:

I always strictly use paper or note pads, I never even bother cracking open a manual, manuals now in the days, there is no purpose of having a manual now in the days, since most the crap just appears on screen.

I never used them, but I have bought Saturn games with thier huge manuals and have found magazine cheat codes glued onto the notes or inside the back cover. I also found a news paper article in Resident Evil talking about RE2.

I never scribbled on my games back in the day. I knew from a very early age of the worth of these games. I could only buy games with my own money so every game I bought was prized and looked after. I have games that i've had since purchasing them brand new and they haven't got a scuff or mark on them.

I think i've always had a bit of OCD in me ever since being a child.

I can see the point of em, but I wouldn't dare write on em. I always used to just put a piece of paper in the box if I needed it for later.
