That's great! Now I'm just waiting for somebody to coherse into making a manual list for SNES/NES at some point. |

I have many manuals, Including DKC2, Illusion Of Gaia + posters, Super Mario World, GODS, Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, Super Mario Bros 1,2 & 3 and more. I am not scanning the entire 85 page Gaia manual, and I do not think I can get it to go flat for a scanner, and I am NOT removing the staples, the thing is in like new condition, but i can probably take pictures of the inside for reference of a rebuild, or scan the front. |

It wouldn't go completely flat on the first few or last few pages, though, everything still turned out quite nice (at least I thought so): http://www.mediafire.com/view/?c1o9ph3hsd7d4 |

Gaia's manual is anomalous in that it is not only a manual, but also a strategy guide and walkthrough all in one. It tells the location of all the red jewels as well as step-by-step how to beat the game. I have no idea why Enix did this and I can't think of another game that does this. It's no wonder the thing is so many pages long. The Wizardry manuals for NES are also rather thick, as are most of the Koei games (although these aren't full-height manuals like Wizardry). |

If you check out my scans, I think you'll agree that removing staples isn't required to get quality scans for preservation. I'd gladly start SNES and N64 myself, though, I only kept a core set of favorite games for each (about 60 per console) and sold off the extra games quite some time ago (and extra manuals finally earlier this year). |
