Doom 3 reference card: "A note of caution: Doom 3 is a terrifying sci-fi horror game experience. It is not recommended for the cowardly or the faint of heart. However, for those who dare to face Doom 3 as it was intended: Lock your door. Turn off the lights. And turn up your sound. Enjoy Doom 3."

I particularly liked that the original Unreal came with a pack-in note apologising for the crappy netcode.

    i want games to come with a collection of comments from the code, so we can appreciate the work devs put in
