What system is the "VMLABSNUON" link?

The NUON by VM Labs

It was a great idea, though, poorly implemented.  The idea was, build a game system almost as a system on a chip, and offer it to DVD player manufacturers.  So, just as you could find DVD players with or without progressive scan (at least back in the day), the same would be said about NUON, a DVD player with or without.  Basically, the inverse of a game console that played DVDs, you'd have DVD players that played games.

Only two companies ever manufactured DVD players with a NUON chipset, and that was Samsung and Toshiba.  There were even a few DVD movies released that had extra features for NUON capable DVD players.

In some ways, it was the Atari Jaguar 2.0, in that Jeff Minter built a new VLM for it when used to playback music (as he did for the Jaguar CD), and it even saw a release of Tempest game and a beta of an Iron Solder game.

I picked one up when it was released for no other reason than to pick up a copy of Tempest 3000 to go along with it.

Dreamcast back inserts have been uploaded for games starting with B and C (20 games, 40 scans).

Also uploaded a new Super Nintendo manual by request:

I also added a quick way to get scans of my "OTHER" non-Sega systems.  Just click the right quote in the upper left of the Ratigators UI to toggle the system list.

Real Bout Special for Neo Geo has been scanned (which finishes off the Real Bout series), and I've got 2 more Neo Geo AES titles in the mail (Art of Fighting 3 and World Heroes Perfect, which finishes off those series in my AES collection) that I'll scan in once they arrive:

Art of Fighting 3 arrived, and it's been scanned and uploaded.

World Heroes Perfect took a bit longer than expected to arrive, though, it finally did, so it's been scanned and uploaded.

I also got a deal on a Kizuna Encounter conversion, a game I wasn't really looking for, but a deal that was too good to pass up, and it showed up as well, and also has been scanned and uploaded.

I have a family member that's been picking up every Wii U Virtual Console Super Nintendo game released, and thus far, I've owned physical copies of every single one of them, so I went ahead and got those scanned in and uploaded.

I didn't check to see if these scans were already available elsewhere (I'm sure someone, somewhere, had already scanned in Super Metroid at least).

As I (think I) mentioned before, I'll eventually get around to scanning in my Nintendo collections, which are primarily just the Nintendo released titles and my personal favorites (sans most RPGs, my brother was always the one that picked those up, but I own a few).

Also, uploaded Sega Dreamcast front and back insert scans for all games starting with "D".

Since I'm slow going on getting my full set of these scanned, if anyone has a specific title they are waiting on or anything so they can reprint a replacement for their own jewel case, just let me know.

Sega Dreamcast back inserts front and back scans for E through H have all been uploaded, so I'm just about a third of the way through the full set.

With today's Killer Instinct Xbox One announcement, I scanned in and uploaded the Killer Instinct Super Nintendo manual as well as the Killer Instinct Gold Nintendo 64 manual (along with the Quick Reference Card) as well as this here just for fun:

http://www.ratigators.com/ui.asp?c=MAGAZINES

First appearance of Killer Instinct in Nintendo Power (from what I recall), pulled from my Killer Instinct clippings archives (from when Cinder was still called Meltdown).  In high school, as the next big fighting game was in arcades, I kept a "clippings" archive.  I had one for the first 3 Mortal Kombat games and Killer Instinct, as well as the Project Reality (that then became the Ultra 64 that then became the Nintendo 64, all just for Killer Instinct).  What's hilarious is that I found the work in progress move list my friend and I were working on when Mortal Kombat II was first released in arcades (the first revision), from when the machine was so crowded, you could barely get close to it (so our names weren't even entirely accurate), and everyone had their own ideas as to what the moves actually were.

In my Killer Instinct archive, I also had my letters I received back from Nintendo.  When EGM had rumors that the Ultra 64 wasn't going to hit its release date, I wrote a "concerned" letter to Nintendo, given that Killer Instinct was supposed to launch with it (so said the promo in the arcade attract mode).  I received a great letter back, with Nintendo blasting EGM.  Oddly enough, EGM was right, the Ultra 64 didn't launch as planned.  Return address censored, I don't live there anymore, but my dad still does



So, I sent a friendly follow up letter, to which Nintendo confirmed the delayed launch date, and was kind enough to give me their list of scheduled games to be released (some of which were never realised, oddly enough):



That's enough nostalgia for now.  Oh, and I had a gentlemen's agreement with my brother, in that, if Microsoft announced Killer Instinct for the Xbox One, that I'd put down a day one pre-order, which I did (at $500, still cheaper than what I paid for either of my Killer Instinct 1 and 2 cabinets

very nice site that you've made for SEGA content. Thanks for sharing manuals. You're awesome.
I think that it is amazing how loyal SEGA fans are to the system and its games. I can find so many scans of SEGA games and manuals and very little for SNES. I even found a Thomas the Tank Engine box scan. I think that it proves a point: SEGA has better fans.

Anyway, Thank you for the manuals. The site is nice.

[TSOLfan]

Added a bunch of Super Nintendo manual scans and a few Nintendo 64 manual scans.  My brother dropped off a bunch of loose games for me to sell which were sold to go towards picking up more Genesis and Game Gear manuals, so I scanned what manuals I had from my own personal Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 game collections in case the buyer's wanted free manual copies.  Since I was already pulling quite a few Super Nintendo manuals (he dropped off more SNES games than N64), I simply started going A through Z after tagging the games for sale.  I've gotten through L, along with the other games in the rest of the alphabet that were for sale.  I'll eventually do the rest of my Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 collections.

Also, I uploaded insert and manual scans for Garou: Mark of the Wolves for the Neo Geo AES (big fan of the insert art, though, prefer how the Dreamcast port's manual dedicated a full page for every character), which was my own birthday gift to myself, which leaves one Neo Geo game on my personal wish list (Samurai Spirits Zero Special, preferably the unfixed version).

Thank You for the scans. very nice site.

I am tired but I do not see snes Earthworm Jim pages 19 and 20. Are the pages missing from the manual?
also, I hate to ask but do you have the box? I have searched everywhere for scans of this box with no luck.

I really like the site. very good job.

edit: i am sleepy. i forgot to specify Earthworm Jim. i've edited the original post. sorry

I do skip a page every once and a while, and people are usually quick to let me know, so thanks for that.  I've got it scanned and uploaded.

As for the box, I'll see what I can do, though, this box is from the era when I was treating my games like I treated my vinyl, in that, I was leaving the shrinkwrap on them and simply slicing open one side of the shrinkwrap so I could get the game and manual out and whatnot.  I did notice there's already a cover here on the site (a vertical and a retail).  I didn't download either of them, though.

Thank You for adding the missing pages. Very nice scans.
I would like to have raw scans of the box but if it's too much of a bother, then don't worry about it. I appreciate any effort.

I really like your site. Thanks again...
