Did they actually make them? I don't think I've seen one yet and I've been back into the hobby for a couple of years now. I don't see scans here or at atarimania either.

Thanks.

[Nathan Strum]

Yes. At least for Strategy X and Pooyan. I don't have Marine Wars.

Sweet, thanks. I was beginning to doubt their existence.

[Herbarius]

Wow, sweet indeed, there I found many manuals I was still missing...

Where's the link for that almost-complete manual collection that was going around like 6 months ago. I can't remember who did that, but there were only a couple missing the last I heard.

EDIT: Here's the thread. Nearly all the 2600 manuals all in one archive:

Yeah, that's my project.
The only ones missing from the US set are...

WANTED USA SCANS

Exus-
Video Jogger/Video Reflex

Gamex-
X-Man

Simage-
Eli's Ladder

Ultravision-
Karate

If anyone can scan any of them, please do.

As for the collection, the best place to get it is from the torrent on UndergroundGamer. But if you are not a member, there are DDL links in the thread that Mirage linked to (first post+updates throughout).

Does anyone in the US actually own Exus Video Jogger and Video Reflex with mat and instr.? No one here on AA or DP seems to own it.

The closest I've come is this photo...

It seems you are correct. If anyone here has it, they are keeping thier mouths shut.

Also there has been some speculation that an "Ultravision-Karate" manual may not exist.

Someone had one for sale at the last CinciClassic, but I did not have enough fun money with me.

Yes, there are people here who own these UR manuals, but choose not to scan (for various reasons).

Of course, if I get any of them, I will be happy to contribute as I have done in the past.

[Jess Ragan]

Holy crap, that looks like a Nintendo Power Pad! Does it work similarly?

What's the point of NOT scanning an old manual? Various reasons, what, like...stupidity?

Well, let's set aside general laziness and/or disinterest (and mostly rule out the issue of technology access). Some people are wary about scanning manuals because there are those unscrupulous folks out there who might make a high quality fake and introduce it as real into the market. Then there are those who like the exclusivity of having something rare that few other people have seen.
