My favourite was from an arcade game around the time of Space Invaders
(showing my age here). One of the instructions was
"Be shoot the alien which attack on. It is double point."
Mind you, instructions on American pinball machines (does that
translate into American as pintables?) were no better when I were a
spotty student. You just had to spend pots of time and money playing
the blasted thing to find out how it worked.
Just like an OM really!
