What's the best manual, "gimmick", box, ...
well, anything that came with a game?
I remember Ultima 6 (or 5?) came with a black "moonstone" and a nice map (or a towel  ).
And I remember the pirates! manual, the first manual with additional, historic information.
I loved the "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe" manual, it looked like a secret file.

The best box that i have is my ultimate civ2 classic collection. Non of that light box feeling when I bought that baby. The manual was nice and thick with lots of interesting things to read.

This goes way back, but I remember a lot of silly stuff in and on the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" box.
Who got the babel fish?

I liked SMAC's manual. Tons of technical stuff packed in! 
Fallout had a cool tough cardboard box, and Fallout and Fallout 2 had manuals that read like actual field manuals that would be given out to the protagonist of the game.
Ultimas have that cloth map... Mmmm, cloth map .
Baldur's Gate had a real cool manual.

Hmmm...I would definitley think of Dark Reign as one of them because it's manual has gotta be the best damn looking one I've seen! It has a nice cover with the foiled symbol of the game, and inside contains everything including units, the history of mankind's future and lots of other info.

I agree on the SMAC manual.
Nicest box was from a game called Ishar I.
Great graphical work on that one
