+Psycho Stormtrooper- Rog Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I did a search already and read through many old posts. I could not find an exact number of PlayCable manual titles. I have seen many say the number of manuals in the PlayCable boxed set was between 30 & 36 depending. I actually have more than those numbers. I know that some manual sets came with regular 0920 manuals as maybe some of the PC- manuals were unavailable, and there are a few (no-serial#) manuals that came with some sets as well. I am trying to get an idea of where my set stands, and which manuals are missing. I have 40 manuals in my set. I know for sure I am missing 2 (PC-manuals) and possibly 1, 2, or 3 (no-serial# manuals).. but I am not sure as they are Bump n Jump, Burgertime and Motocross. Not real sure about if they were actual PlayCable manuals.. but I had thought I had heard they were. I'm kindof doubting Motocross though. So would total number of known included PlayCable manuals be 43, or 44 in the set? (That is my count without Motocross). Let me know any facts or thoughts please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humblejack Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 My set had 37 of the PC manuals, Burgertime, Buzz Bomber and Shark Shark had no number at all, and Frog Bog and Space Armada were the 0920 version. BTW the Fluorescent Math Fun and the Gold AD&D are about my favorite manuals of all time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW the Fluorescent Math Fun and the Gold AD&D are about my favorite manuals of all time. Lol .. thanks for info Hankster... The whole line of Frog Bog manuals are my favorite because of the variety of colors for each country. My set has 32 PC manuals (I am missing Baseball & Football.. but I do have the PC football playbook). My Astrosmash, Space Armada, & Burgertime are regular 0920 manuals. My no-serial# manuals are Mission X, Buzz Bombers, & Shark Shark. Was your Astrosmash a PC manual? Do you still have a pic? (When you have time to look). I've never seen it. All Astrosmash manuals I've seen in other sets were all 0920. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BumpnJump would have been too large a program for Playcable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 My set has 29 ‘PC’ designated manuals and 10 non ‘PC’ manuals. My Astrosmash is also a standard 0920. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spadafermo51 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 From my personal count I identified 43, but I have no certainty, given that not everyone has the "PC" badge like Astrosmash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I know of 34 manuals with PC part #s (35 including the NFL Playbook). The PC versions of Burgertime, Buzz Bombers, Mission X, and Motocross don't have part #s, and were included in the sets. There are a few games that were noted in various publications (PlayCable Comes Alive, etc), that just used the normal -0920 manual, but numerous people have noted it included in their sets. Notably: Astrosmash, Space Armada, Triple Action. Here are the ones I have: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has no serial# front or back.. and I am sure it was included with my set as most of the manuals are mint & have vibrant colors.. Im curious if that is a variant in the PlayCable set.
