--- Quote from: Plainsongs on August 16, 2012, 03:10:31 PM ---LOL, that's how my best friend always played Dark Gaia, morphing into a puddle most of the time! This is why I'd love to have manuals for my games! It just helps with the excitement (seeing thumbnails of bosses), and it helps create a bond between you and characters and most of all it gives you a background story. --- End quote --- Oh I hear you, which is why I collect manuals along with my carts. It actually helps regulate my spending, too, since I won't pick up a game unless it's got the manual to go with it and often times the manuals can be a bitch to find. ;) I don't think I'd feel the same way about reproductions or reprints, though. Even if the content is the same, I'd always know it's not authentic and it would feel as though I just went on to GameFAQs or some site and printed out the info. Having the real deal to go along with the cart is perfect, though admittedly not really cost effective in the long run. But then again I'm just weird like that so pay no attention to me! |

Oh, I completely understand you though, I'm the kid who would always buy two copies of a record at the store to put one away in a black sleeve and save it up! But I think I'd like to have a reproduction to have in my reproduced case and a real copy to store away :> |

I'm glad it's what video rental stores ended up doing so that their manuals didn't all get completely munged up by renters. I used to collect boxes, too (I only collect NES games, not SNES), but they're so flimsy and easily damaged that UGCs just made so much more sense. The manuals, however, are just perfect tucked inside the plastic cases next to the carts. :) |

Gosh yes, the blockbuster-method is the one that I've been using forever. When I was very, very young, and had very very poor drawing skills, I even drew up the whole Overworld map for the original Zelda (NES), took about 8 full sheets of paper, with grids and squares for every screen! And the best part about that was that I drew as much as I could from the manual, but the two upper corners were marked with question-marks, and so I had to fill them in as I went. Tough times for a little kid! I actually just started restoring some half-good scans of a IoG-manual, so we'll have to see how it goes, and if it ends up well and somebody wants a copy, I'm perfectly fine with uploading it somewhere for personal use! (if anyone has hq pictures of the manuals, at least the covers, i'd appreciate them.) |
