The 1994 abandonware strategy game Kingmaker contains a hugely annoying "Leadership Test", which is supposed to test that you really have the paper manual around. There's probably a crack available somewhere, but I made a cheat sheet by screenshoting the game and some Ruby+ImageMagic scripts. Here it is, for all nostalgia gamers:

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    I downloaded the game, and got a uselessly badly scanned manual. However, even if you had the manual, the manual just gives you cute clues to the pictoral content!

    You missed Kenilworth, which is a orange-ish castle on page 35.
