    Default PC Engine/Famicom/Super Famicom reviews & manuals

    I've meant to do that for a long time and I've finally started to add game manual scans to my site. Only a few are available so far (PC Engine only):

    1943-Kai
    Adventure Island
    Fushigi No Yumi No Alice
    Armed Formation F
    Sapphire

    I'll keep adding a lot more in the near future and they'll include Super Famicom games. They are all located in the Omake section from each review page, at the bottom. Do not hesitate to let me know what you think and also if there's a list of games you'd like to see first - I'm going now in whatever order my list of scans dictates me to go

    Do you like the actual format of the PDF files ? Any feedback ?

    Yeah, I think the PDFs work fine.

    Are you using a full version of Acrobat to create the multipage PDFs, or is there some other program (free) that will do it?

    I've had some random stuff scanned that I wanted to post as multi-page PDFs, but I don't have access to a full version of Acrobat.

    Have added a couple of Super Famicom docs for ShaoMappy:

    Battle Zeque Ken
    Kiki Kaikai
    Joe And Mac
    Ushio To Tora

    I don't know about free programs... mine came with Photoshop when I purchased it and this is what I use to create those PDFs. I'd also be interested to know what people use in general...

    That's pretty cool, I started doing that for my own website, but my scanner broke and I lost a bunch of games, so I got kind of depressed and didn't want to do it anymore.

    replacementdocs.com does take japanese manuals, I uploaded Golden Axe MD and there's several Famicom manuals there too, and a few others.

    Also, I am of the opinion that you should keep them in PDF format.

    If you're taking requests, I'd like to see the manual for Kaze Kiri.

    Thanks bombman for your feedback

    replacementdocs.com is indeed a great site and it is becoming a reference. I've also looked at other formats but I'll stick to PDFs which is a lot more standard I think.

    I'll add Kaze Kiri to the list of manuals - I'm now wrapping up a new update for my site, but I'll definitively add the manual after that

    Thanks, maybe I'll get back to uploading manuals again, if I can get a good scanner for cheap.

    I know exactly what you mean! I've been scanning all my games (boxes, manuals and media) for the last 8 years or so, and I've already killed two scanners in the process

    Any updates? I am in the process of scanning my own manuals, at any rate.

    I like your website btw, SFAM and PCE are two systems I'm definitely unaccquainted with.
