Saving Every Sega Genesis Manual On The Internet

Well I tried working out a deal for the Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel manual for VGComplete, but the store wants $149 just for the manual because there was a sale that amount recently on eBay.  Who knows if that sale was legitimate, but the store is dead set on that amount.  I have a feeling that game and manual are going to sit in that store for quite a while.

Once again thanks for this! I felt like we were close but paying $150 for a manual alone is tough. I’d resell it after, but I have a feeling it would only go for half of that. Maybe I’ll break if a while goes by on this one as I know this will be one of the harder games to archive.

Would you want any Mega Drive manuals for games that were Europe-only releases? For example I have a CIB copy of Mr. Nutz. I heard it was playable on Sega Channel in the USA but it only got a PAL physical release. It happens to be one of the games where the region lockout is not implemented though. You can buy a copy of Mr. Nutz and play it in any Genesis. If you already have access to that one elsewhere then that's good but if worse comes to worse I have it.

Good to know. I never read the manual and assumed it was high quality due to the seller. I’d redo the whole thing if you can provide copy. 

Alright. It might be a while until it's finished, but I'll be able to get started on it this weekend. I have no photo-editing skills or photo-editing software at all, so all I can do is retranslate the manual. I'll just do something like indicate which translations go in which places, if you can go through and put stuff where it's supposed to go.

I'll PM you examples of how others have formatted the transcriptions I've worked on. No photo editing skills needed!

I do not have Outlander, I have it cart only. Booo. I need to get a complete copy because it’s a really cool game and really up my alley.

 

I retrieved these from storage. X-Perts I can photoshop the stickered part in from the cover art. I know I have Puggsy but I forgot to get it. I am pretty sure I have Big Hurt, and reasonably sure I have Pete Sampras. Is Frank Thomas Big Hurt under B or F? :D

That would be under F! 

 

Thank you so much for digging these up. This will make a nicely sized dent in everything!

Ooh, this is very nice indeed.

 

Could someone do exactly the same for all the SNES manuals (and other details similarly), with the same site layout and everything?

 

It would be great to have both consoles online in the same place and done just like this.

 

Also, if you could have maybe a few more screenshots for each game too, maybe just say five or ten, I think that would be perfect.

 

Very much appreciated.
