How many of you read the game manuals?

I figured it was time for a poll here in the Lynx forum, and this particular subject from another thread inspired it. I'm curious to know how many of you actually read your Lynx game manuals.

I pretty much always read the manuals, if I get one. It's useually not much help to the game at all. but sometimes it's fun to read.

Just from time to time when i feel the need to.

I'll read a manual if there's something I need to find out in a more complicated game, or if I'm just bored. For arcade titles, like RoadBlasters, reading the manual isn't too terribly important for me (even though I have). For games like Shadow of the Beast, finding out the backstory helps me understand why I'm a beast running around trying to hit things and find stuff.

 

All told, though, I have read all the manuals to the few games I own, through "need-to-know" or sheer boredom.
