<big>''The death of plain text.''</big> We have real readability. With adventure games, we can even have multiple-page guides that ensure that a user does not stumble upon spoilers. There's also real markup, and images can be attached. Video walkthroughs can even be inserted from sites like {{t|YouTube}} and {{t|GameVideos}}.
