Hey, folks....is there no one here that can scan any of these manuals?
I know it is going to be hard to find Tooth Protectors, but someone here has the Mystique games....Right?
Please help if you can.

[user42]

I thought that was a prototype....
Does it have a real manual? (or even a repro manual)?

Yes, check this (not mine):

I do have one and can scan the manual for you if you're not interested in it CIB.

Cool, I would love scans of it.
There are a hand full of prototype reproduction manuals that I would like to get for the collection. I just have never made a list. I will see what I am missing and try to get a list together soon.

PM sent.

[user42]

Ok, as bfstats pointed out there are some prototypes that had repro manuals made for them. I do have some of them scanned already but I don't really know which protos even have manuals and which ones don't....
So here's a list of prototypes that that I don't yet have manual scans for.
It would be great if someone (anyone) could help me identify which have manuals and which ones don't.
And of course, what I really want are scans of any of these manuals....Please

Hello Everybody,

OK, I am tired of waiting.... I have decited to share the links to my Atari 2600 manual collection (as it is). Why am I not putting up a torrent? ..you might ask. Well, because the collection is not complete. When it is, I plan on making a sweet torrent with all the bells and whisles on Underground-gamer. But until then, I want to share what I have with the people that have helped me get get to where I am. This project has been on going for more than a year now and it is time that I share something.

I have put the files up on massmirror. It then spreads the files out to 4 other hosting services. So you can DL from whatever one you like. When you first go to the link you might have to wait for the "Skip Ad" button to appear in the top right corner. Click it, then select the download mirror of your choosing. This is a split rar so you will need to get the whole thing (799mb) to open it. Don't worry, no password needed.

Here we go....

part 7

part 8
(note: the 1st part 8 upload failed, on the second one MM added a "_1" to the file name (M-A2600.part08_1.rar) You will need to remove it of course.)

I want to shout out a HUGE THANKS to everyone that contributed to this collection. You are the true heroes here.

I'm pretty sure I already scanned the X-Man instructions for you. Let me know if you need them again.

I have an international version and what looks like a scan of a photocopy of the US manual.
I would still like to see a clean scan of the US manual (if anyone has it).
Thanks alot for your help.

I would just like to say what a great effort you have made user 42. That is a great collection of manuals and other info.
I dont know if its just my download but I couldn't find the "My Golf " manual by HES, or alot of the soft cover " inside the cover " versions e.g Enduro below.

I started this project to collect US manuals. The international manuals that I have there are just a by-product of my collection obsession, but not the main focus. But truth is, it would be nice to have the "My Golf " manual by HES scanned (as it is one of the few non-US released games). If anyone has it handy please scan it.
Mabey one day when the US collection is complete I will look into filling out some of the international sets.

[recoil]

I will scan "My Golf" for you shortly, if no one beats me to it.

[user42]

@recoil
Thanks alot.
