Buster Bros. insert: "the fate of the world resets in your hands."

Well, technically.... with run and select - it actually does.  :)

LOL.  All this time I thought my manual was a defect.  Turns out it was, it just wasn't mine.

Has anyone every noticed the Alien Crush manual lists the features of the play screen, (why this is even needed for pinball game is a little suspect anyway) and almost nothing is named correctly.  Always makes me laugh a bit.

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Shadow of the Beast has a typo on the rear insert.  Can anyone find it?  I noticed it last year.

Due to the shity artwork, I would consider most any pre-TTi cover a typo due to how badly they represent the game, but that goes without saying.  :wink:

WHAT! the artwork on the old TG16 was epic.  A skull on the drop off cover, enough said

You're so crazy . NEC's gift to the world was unique art, instead of simply recycling the original Japanese covers.

Timeball's artwork/design is superior to Blodia's. This alone warrants the localization of the packaging:



Thank goodness we can savor these moments: the cold, sterile 3-Dimensional models of Blodia versus the vibrant, trippy, color-streaking, spiritual awakening of Timeball.

Of course, neither of these two covers captures the 100% PURE ADRENALIN of the original art:

I was scanning New Adventure Island's manual today and I noticed that the trademark info on the back of the manual states:

"New Adventyure Island is a trademark of Hudson Soft."
