yeah! i really miss cheat codes, even the dumb ones for poo poo like big head mode
Cheat codes you unlock via hidden in-game secret items or completing challenges or whatever.

THPS1+2 was super disappointing in this regard for me because in the original, every skater that you completed career mode unlocked a new cheat in the cheats menu. Sometimes it was a QOL upgrade like different starting locations on the map, sometimes it was a whole new secret character, and sometimes it was just a dumb fun thing like making your skater 400lbs.

In the remake you only unlock like two cheat menu items and they're super lazy sepia filters on the graphics.

Another game with a memorable cheat menu is Beetle Adventure Racing. It was a very wide open arcade racer with spacious tracks and plenty of hidden paths and shortcuts, and in each level there were hidden bonus boxes that unlocked stuff like new cars, cosmetics, and a cheat menu.

Manuals. Nothing like reading it on the car ride home and trying to sus out if you managed to pick a good game.
NES/GB/SNES era artwork in manuals specifically was something that just doesn't exist anymore and it's sad.

yessss I was raised on a steady diet of fuckloads of floppies ordered from magazines

Our main PC growing up was an old Windows 3.1 Packard Bell, and we didn't get anything more modern until 2000 which means I never played any 95/98 games and instead lived off of the Gravis Gamepad demo disk and various PC Gamer monthlies.
