Sure, any game that I play I would try to run through the extra bits etc.

After that, I would look through the manual to see if I'd missed any extra bits. Sometimes they would necessitate replaying.

The only game that is a bit 'different' from that is Final Fantasy, where so much is hidden behind the scenes, that it makes reading the manual almost necessary.

I dunno, maybe I'm just compulsive, but I NEED to know everything.

Just my 2cents worth!

Folly.
