Title: Request: European Mega Drive Manual Scans
Post by: BadChad on November 27, 2016, 11:37:57 PM

This might be a shot in the dark but I'm hoping there might be a few major Genesis/Mega Drive collectors here who might be able to help me out.

I'm looking for English manual scans for the following 4 games:

- Alien Soldier
- Mr. Nutz
- Twin Hawk
- Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been after scans for these titles for a long time now, looking around online every couple months or so in hopes something will turn up somewhere. No luck so far...

Bump!

Knocked a couple of the off the list. Ended up picking up CIB copies. Alien Soldier is gonna be the tough one. That's a pricey SOB.
I know tiktektak has a CIB, if he's willing to help! *fingers crossed*

I've got monster lair, not sure if it's got the manual.  Will be home at the end of the week, give me a nudge and I'll check it.  ;D

I actually dug it out yesterday.  Will scan it over the next couple of days.   ;D

Here you go - RAWS at 600dpi

I'm assuming you want this to localise to a Genesis style so I didn't touch it - it's annoyingly multi language on every page, and doesn't fit 2 across on my scanner, so it's 40 pages.

Right on, thanks for the scans sheep! Much appreciated!

And thanks for the digital manual for Alien Soldier. But I've actually had this already for some time now but I get the feeling this is just a summarized version and not the actual European manual. I know it'll do the trick but I'm holding out in hopes that one day I'll come across scans of the original European manual. I like to use 100% original source material.
