No, it's gone and the waybackmachine doesn't have an archive. It was www.crazybanana.tk

Call me crazy, or deluded, but some dude (actually he claimed he and his brother) scanned almost all the US manuals and made them available as .pdf's a few years ago (6+) on the magicengine.com forums.

I only downloaded one or two, because I was curious, but I wish I had the forethought to download everything. IIRC, this fellow had made a simple website and one page featured links to all the files.

Anyway... If one of the old-timers saved everything, we would have ~entire US library of manuals.

Manual scans are the one area where 3DO gamers totally have us beat.  They don't know how to fix their systems (generally speaking) and there's a major shortage of hardware/accessory reviews and information, but almost all of the manuals are right there on the forums.

I'm just going to throw this out there: I would be happy to host all the manuals we can find on tg-16.com. I could make a simple page listing all the games.

Ideally, once everything was available, we would eventually dump the low-quality manual scans with higher-quality scans....

I've got all of the manuals from the old Dritz Manual Site saved here. Some are TG and others are PCE. About 80 in total. I put up a couple of them here -

Esteban, PM me if you want me to send them your way.
