Turned out pretty good. Cover uses the box art so it's obvious it's a repro, but otherwise the rest of the manual looks pretty spiffy. ;) --- End quote --- It just easier to get to the correct place in a screenshot and shift the sprites around (via Photoshopping) so the screenshot is accurate. For myself, I don't even play the game. I just go to a "Let's Play" captured in HD, fast forward to the correct stage and point in the game, take screenshots of the sprites I need in the correct animation and merge everything. --- End quote --- I never thought of that. That's pretty friggin genius. --- End quote --- http://vgmaps.com http://www.spriters-resource.com/ http://spritedatabase.net/ Oh why yes, I did just kill a bunch of your upcoming free time. You're welcome. :) |

And is there repro cart for that? --- End quote --- That was in a stack I got from Australia almost 20 years ago. Was a somewhat legit South American bootleg at the time. Manual looks professional and everything. Here is what I found online (under Additional Versions): http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/Street_Fighter_II:_Champion_Edition |

Aimed mostly at Arseen, but anyone can contribute... (Preferably UKV/English versions although multi language is awesome as well) Missing the following unique-to-*PAL* SNES Manual scans: 90 Minutes: European Prime Goal Archer Maclean's Super Dropzone Astérix & Obélix Cannon Fodder Daze Before Christmas Dirt Racer Dragon Ball Z Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension Dragon Ball Z: La Legende SAIEN Dragon Ball Z: Ultime Menace F1 Pole Position 2 Firemen, The Hebereke's Popoon Humans, The Hungry Dinosaurs Jelly Boy Lucky Luke Manchester United Championship Soccer Marko's Magic Football Mega-Lo-Mania Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament Might and Magic II Pop'n TwinBee Sailormoon Smash Tennis Smurfs, The Spirou Super Dany Super Ice Hockey Syvalion Tintin in Prisoners of the Sun Tintin in Tibet Turbo Toons Waterworld Whirlo Winter Gold Worms I think I have the French versions of some of the Dragon Ball Z manuals (I think I snagged from Arseen awhile back-they aren't popping up with the rest so I'll have to dig around) |
| Arseen:
On top of my head These only have French and Spanish (and Japanese) manuals in exsistence. No english official manual ever made. Dragon Ball Z Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension Dragon Ball Z: La Legende SAIEN Dragon Ball Z: Ultime Menace All skanned in my Mediafire, linked somewhere, re-linking later. Winter Gold I scanned in multiple languages, but seems scans lost, I think rhere was English & German, and Italian leaflet in B&W. and someother manuals. Read PM I sent you. |

While a similar project involving full manuals seems a bit far-fetched to me, one with quick-reference cards and a custom instruction card seems doable. I don't know how other feel about plagiarizing the instructions printed on old rental cases, but I've preserved a bunch to use as a substitute for instructions on many NES, SNES, and N64 games. Writing similar blurbs for other games and slapping them on a card with some screen shots doesn't seem too difficult. |
