Another thing I miss from the old days is the extra stuff they sometimes put into games.

For example, an in-game database explaining the game world and the creatures or items it is filled with. It could be an encyclopedia-like section that you can access from the main menu, or some in-game "book" that explains the lore, with new pages being added as you discover new things.

Some very old games had a lot of extra stuff accessible from the main menu - like information about the developers, previews of upcoming titles, ordering info and so on. And they had detailed Help screens - with images and interesting stuff in them.

Modern games rarely offer such stuff anymore.
