Maybe tiktektak can help me out with this one since he got the cover up on the site. Im looking for manuals scans of the PAL version of Zero Wing. It doesnt matter to me if the staples are pulled out of the manual or not during scanning. Any help would be very much appreciated! :)

So i finally got motivated enough to build somekind of shelving unit (still wip) for my small game collection.

I have decided to focus on original Xbox and Gamecube.

Nice little collection!

Noticed you have a boxed copy of Zero Wing for the Mega Drive. Any chance that's a complete copy of the game you could scan the manual for? Hell, even good quality camera pictures of each page would work if you don't have a scanner. I'm really just looking for the English text within the manual.

I'd really appreciate that! The scans don't have to be perfect, I just need to able to read all the text and maybe make out the screenshots so I know what to replace them with. But of course, good scans are always appreciated! ;)

If you can get it done without damaging your manual, go for it. But I wouldn't want you to rip anything.

You might not have to at all. If the PAL manuals follow the same suit as the Canadian multi-language manuals like my copy of Sonic 1, the first page seems to be the "Setting-Up" which is just a generic page at the beginning of the every manual. If you can confirm that, I have no use for that page anyway!

The pictures in the manual seemed to be in the english part, but couple pictures seemed to be on the italian? part, all the pics are scanned.

Right on. Let me know when everything is done uploading and download.

And sorry for jacking your collection thread with my scan request. I made a request for these scans some time ago with no luck, so I'll move all these scan related posts over that folder to clean up your collection thread. ;)

Thanks again!
