Wow, I thought the Dragon Force Manual was thick but I can't imagine this game then. Does it even fit under those clips in the longbox without bulging like crazy?

They probably had to use a lower-weight paper. Dragonforce manual was printed on heavier paper IIRC.

Well, Sega Saturn game cases are huge, and there's probably at least 1/4" space between the clips for a manual to fit in, so there's no real problem, unlike trying to cram a 46 page manual in a standard CD jewel case (I'm looking at you, Worms Armageddon for Sega Dreamcast). That's why the original foam inserts are so important, not only to keep a disc from coming loose, but to also keep the manuals from sagging in the case.

Exactly right. Even though the Dragon Force manual is fewer pages, the Working Designs manuals were always printed on much heavier stock paper, so at the end of the day, the Dragon Force and Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV manual are just about the same thickness.

Just picked up a replacement Steep Slope Sliders, so once it comes in, I'll replace that manual scan. Still haven't picked up an unsealed copy of Olympic Soccer, so I'll miss my schedule on that one, but once I do, I'll come back around just like I did with Shining Force III.
I also haven't replaced Pandemonium yet either, so on Monday, you'll get to see how someone got creative in writing down level codes :)
One last thing, I've got everything setup for Halloween, so come Monday, I'll have to see if I can rename the thread ;)
TSOLfan:
Happy Halloween guys/girls!
Today, I'm kicking off my Dreamcast scan project. To keep with the theme of the day, I started with all "horror" themed games (survival horror, zombies, vampires, and all that good stuff :)). Tomorrow will resume the regularly scheduled program with one from each end of the alphabet.
Also, if you scroll down even further, you'll notice a few choice Sega CD scans as well that I prioritized :D

No Olympic Soccer scans today, my only copy is still sealed. I'll get the manual scanned in once a replacement arrives. Though, enjoy In the Hunt, and the two Dreamcast games of the day.
