Thank you sooooooooooooooo much Arseen! I didnt think Id ever get my hands on Power Blade 2 manual scans. I can definetly use these to make myself one and have it printed out for $12 rather than the rediculous price for an original one assuming you can even find one. Now I just need some Little Samson manual scans and that should cover my most rare games for the NES.

BTW I already had a Bubble Bobble 2 manual printed out. If your interested I can send you the manual I put together.

Glad to help!  ;D

BTW did you notice the question directed to you in this post:

Bought it yesterday CIB. Don't ask price!  ;D



Anyone wanna make cover for it when it arrives, or does someone want scans of the manual said to be the second rarest on NES (SWE, DAN, FIN) for making English manual.

EDIT: Another rarer game I just won


English manual, anyone want scans when it arrives? I think someone requested this one once. So still need this one BadChad?

PS: I put this here because could not decide does this belong to Raw scans forum or request forum.
PPS: Noticed that I'm the only registered user online.  :D

Pretty please and thank you.

That site has that manual too. PDF was pretty good, but the text only didn't seem to work.

YES I DO! I would love scans when it comes in. Thanks a bunch Arseen.

Actually you can send the box scans too if you want cause Id love to whip up a cover for that. ;D

Do you know if that mattel logo on the front is a sticker?

Didn't you already do 2 covers for this, but sure I'll send you scans of the cover.

It's Australian cover and according to Gamefaqs that Mattel thing seems to be part of the front not a sticker:

Sure do, but it's property of BadChad, so you have to ask his permission.

He had link to it here:
http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=4087.msg36265#msg36265
But it's not working anymore.

Or I can upload it to my Mediafire account and post link here if he gives permission.

So BadChad can I do that? There is of course the risk that someone misuses it as it would be then available to everyone.
I can how ever PM it only to irvgotti452, if you give permission.

Oh that's fine I just need dimensions for the nes manuals.I figured since that was done I could use the sizing as a reference.

It gives screwed up dimensions of bedsheet @ 96 DPI  ;D

re-sized to 32% (which works for covers) dimensions would be 26.51CM (10.44") wide 10.21 (4,02") high.
But I included one page as reference (he probably won't kill me for doing that) if the DPI would show correctly on your end:

I still have it. Im about to step out for a bit so Ill post it up on my mediafire account with the Bubble Bobble 2 manual I put together once I get back from the mall. I dont really see how it manual could be mis-used anyway, its just an english translation of a retail manual for a VERY rare game. Really its only useful to the very few people who own a copy of Mr. Gimmick or the japanese version like myself.
