Anyone have the program where you can print out the old instruction cards? The kind of instructions I am talking about are the one sheet condensed version that you use to get when you bought a used game from Funco. Also, I remember Blockbuster use to give you a printed sheet of instructions for a game when you rented it from them. I know a few companies in the early 90's use to sell a set of floppy discs with all the instructions on it. I am looking for the older systems like NES, SNES, etc.

I thought somone who use to work for one of the companies who used these type of instruction may still have them. They also use to have the sticky paper version that use to go on the clear boxes. I thought it would be nice to have a binder with all the condensed instructions printed out for some of the older popular games.

Anyone know if these are still floating around?

when i first saw the title i skimmed it and didnt read the word "instruction" and thought you wanted these :)

I'm not sure what the instructions that Funcoland used to give out were like, but Game X Change gives out instuctions like what you described.

They are made by a company called Pinnacle. You can find their homepage HERE. (ftp://ftp.catalog.com/pinnacle/WELCOME.HTM) but I cant find any pictures of the instructions for example. I have some of them lying around so i'll post some pictures of it later.

We've got a whole bunch of PDF and txt manuals here:

Not sure if this is quite what you're looking for.

Okay... Here is a picture that I took of the Game X Change instructions. These are the ones made by Pinnacle. This one is for Elemental Master on the Genesis.
