It's a simple thing, but one good way to make games memorable is for the developers to leave you words of encouragement in the pack-in material. (slrpnk.net)

I remember Star Siege and MechWarrior 3 coming with a big novella book of some sort, accompanying the manual, and Sim City 3000 came with a wire bound TOME of a book lol. RTS games would often come with big foldout tech trees and stuff too.

The original manual for The Sims was really fun to read too because it was full of humorous witticisms at every turn.
