I tend to disagree here.  Having neat stuff like the magazine flyer in
their packages gave Infocom's games an added sense of realism.  For me,
this more than made up for the five or ten extra seconds I spent looking

Of course, if it weren't for all those pirates, such a thing wouldn't
even be necessary, but that's another thread entirely.
