PC engine game reviews & manuals
« on: June 15, 2009, 06:09:30 AM »
Hi everyone,

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 (1943-Kai, Adventure Island, Fushigi No Yumi No Alice, Armed Formation F ,Sapphire) but I'll keep adding a lot more in the near future. 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 :)

Manuals are a dang nice addition to your site, though I'd rather see the front and back covers separated so that the back cover is the last page in the pdf.

I initially had them this way but it was a lot more work so I kept it simple with a 'douple page' format... I think is is also the format used by other sites such as replacementdocs... so I could change it but it'll be more work :(

I started this on my site but kind of fell behind with it, I'm glad someone else is picking up the challenge!

This is a challenge indeed but I've been scanning all my games for the past years and they have been sitting dormant on my hard drive... so time to get all those Gigs in the wild !!!
I know exactly what you mean Paul, our sites are now gigantor monsters and it is really easy to fall behind, I still have sooooo much info and goodies I'd like to add in mine but I just don't have the time to do all of it :)

I wondered for some time why Sapphire was part of such collection and the answer is rather simple - they both share the same character designer, Mika Akitaka.

 A wiki article states that the creator/artist was original working on Yuna as a shooter, but later the project was changed to a visual novel. One could assume Sapphire filled that void.

No problem, I'll check to see if I have the docs and will upload them to the site. I definitively don't have Kunio Dodge Ball though :)
