For how mediocre FRLG was, I must applaud how friendly for new players it was with details like this reminder, TV thing you get from drunk oldman and entire damn instruction manual that is build to show only info about stuff relevant to what you do currently... and how it all was put in a way that is not forcing itself in way of players that don't need it.
