    Oh, excellent, thanks for doing these. stuff like this really needs to get preserved for the future (and the present! the Japanese artwork is always so much better).

    If you want my opinion regarding PDF, i don't really like it that much. When i do read a PDF, I use Foxit reader. If it isn't too much trouble, the scans themselves in a zip would be lovely as an option, but if file space is going to be an issue I do understand.

    Are we permitted to beg for certain titles? I'd really like to see some Dragon Quest manuals if you have any...Valis too.

    I personally prefer manuals and magazine scans in Comic Book formats (CBR or CBZ). They are just rar or zip files with some extra info files inside. Comic book format is nice because the readers have more options than most PDF readers.

    <Evan_G> i keep my games in an inaccessable crate where i can't play them

    I also support the use of CBR/CBZ. It's only one rename away from being a standard zip if you wish, and vice-versa. Superior to PDF in my opinion for scanned things. PDF are more for things you want to have selectable text I think.

    Cryomancer & Evan_G, I'll look into these formats. I picked PDF because it's fairly standard but I'll definitively have a look at the CBR/CBZ file format.

    Do you mean DQ and Valis for the Famicom ? I do have these but I'm doing first games reviewed on my site and I don't have a Famicom section yet (only Famicom Disk).

    Any of them would be cool, there are several DQs on Super Fami and and a bunch of PCE Valis games too. I understand though, that's cool. If you ever get around to them drop me a PM or something if you remember, heh. I'll definitely be checking out your site more often now though!

    I don't have any DQ reviewed for the Super Famicom yet, but I'll upload the PCE Valis documentations in my next update if I have them (my collection is in storage and I'm not sure yet how many CDRom games I have scanned).
