user42 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Now that I have completed the ColecoVision and Intellivision US manual collections (and the Atari 2600 set is near complete also), I need something new to collect. Then I realized that I have almost no Vectrex manuals... I know there are a lot of collectors around here so if some of you could help by scanning a few manuals that would be fantastic. I am looking for USA manuals (Vectrex branded, not MB branded). Here is the first download pack, 9 game manuals plus hardware manuals. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=65CN3DYU WANTED USA SCANS BLITZ CLEAN SWEEP CRAZY COASTER 3D FORTRESS OF NARZOD HEADS UP HYPER CHASE MELODY MASTER MINE STORM MINE STORM 3D NARROW ESCAPE 3D POLAR RESCUE POLE POSITION RIP OFF SPACE WAR SPIKE SPINBALL STAR CASTLE STARHAWK STAR TREK:TMP WEB WARS Edited January 13, 2011 by user42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-topdog Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Did you try here www.Vectrex.nl ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user42 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Yeah it is a great resource of information. Although they don't really have manual scans. They have scans of photocopies of the Artmaster and Dark Tower manuals, and the rest are just text. I will add those 2 to my collection for now but real manual scan are still wanted.

lazyhoboguy Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 http://www.replacementdocs.com/download.php I was going to suggest this site to you as they have lots of scans of manuals for other consoles, but they dont have any vectrex manuals. You could try making a post to request some in their forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user42 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 I have requested many things in their forum and never had a response. Where as, the fine collectors here have helped me complete several manual collections.. Thank you anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user42 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) I am selling a bunch of manuals for various systems over here..http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/170050-game-manuals-for-sale/ I bring this up here because I am now willing to trade any manual on the sale on the list, free shipping in the US, for scans of a Vectrex manual. Scan 10 manuals and you get 10 free manuals. Good deal right... Edited September 28, 2010 by user42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Here is AnimAction ... it is a rather thick manual as far as ones for the Vectrex go. 300dpi, nothing done to the files, so you can stitch up into a PDF. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 next up, Art Master ... note that the second to last page is the Vectrex logo and the final page is blank 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maraakate Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Just joined this site to say thanks for the manual scans! If you find any more, please post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maraakate Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I've also mirrored everything (and a few other vectrex related goodies) at http://dk.toastednet.org/Vectrex/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonbar Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I found a 3D Imager on craigslist and, even though I really wanted to keep the manuals for 3D Minestorm & Narrow Escape, I figured that I should keep them together as a set when I sold the imager on eBay, so I made some nice scans of those 2 manuals, printed them out, & have copies in my personal collection. These PDFs are intended to be printed on a double-sided printer, flipping pages on the short side of the page, stacked & trimmed on a paper cutter, then stapled in the spine. Thanks, -Jason 3D_MineStorm.pdf 3D_Narrow_Escape.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcmffm Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) For a Vectrex manual project I've scanned in the manuals of Star Castle (GCE version).

Arenafoot Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 are you still looking for the manuals of the games listed at the top of this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcmffm Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) The Vectrex manual² project has progressed, now there are two hand-vectorized manuals available: Star Castle (PDF, ~200 kByte) Dark Tower (PDF, ~200 kByte) Copyright notice:Private usage of the Vectrex manual²s is free. Commercial usage of the PDF (i.e. you get money for the electronic or printed manual directly or indirectly) is only allowed with my explicit agreement and permission. © 2014. Dark Tower manual will require explicit permission of 50tbrd in addition. Edited January 30, 2014 by hcmffm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamchevy Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 These scans are Bitchin! I love how high res and perfect they look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcmffm Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 These scans are Bitchin! I love how high res and perfect they look! Thanks for your positive feedback, adamchevy. I guess you refer to my Vectrex Manuals². These "scans" are manual vectorizations, this is why quality is that high. By now, 11 Vectrex manual²s are completed, I'd expect about 2 more years till all of them are vectorized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard H. Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 BTW Do you have a good graphic of just the Vectrex on page 4 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hcmffm Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 In the meantime 17 out of 29 Vectrex manual²s are created. I am progressing more slowly than expected - from today it will still take about 2 years until all manuals are ready. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
