Cool japanese site with game manual scans

- 1 min read

Powerful streamer BillBull streamed one of my favorite FDS games Kick Challenger: Air Foot a while ago, and showed scans from the full manual on stream, which I couldn’t find before. This led me to a Japanese blog that apparently has hundreds of scans of manuals for older consoles:

https://gamemanual.midnightmeattrain.com

It has the Kick Challenger: Air Foot manual, and even the one for Relics: Ankoku Yousai that I played recently. It doesn’t have Miracle Ropit though, so at least I didn’t buy and scan that one in vain.

Also while I’m at it, I’m going to mention a similar site, which doesn’t have real manual scans, but basically HTML “reproductions” of their contents, which is still pretty useful if you’re looking for information from the manual. This site even has Miracle Ropit.
