That's cool!

I really liked when games came with feelies. I remember the little black stone (and maybe some other stuff) in the Ultima 6 box, for PC, back in the day. Now, you get nothing. I bought "The Longest Journey" off Ebay, and as far as I can tell it's complete with nothing more than the box and the CD. The manual is just a PDF.

This is actually the closest I have ever come to being mentioned in an IF article. They mentioned the pill of rephasia from Fallacy of Dawn, but not the game itself.
