Do you have a favorite old manual? Post it here!

I’m obsessed with japanese Sega Saturn game manuals. i.e. this one is from Shining the Holy Ark and I just completely love how it presents all the characters with full body art and a stylish background related to their personality. Also tiny compressed screenshots are super nostalgic to me somehow haha.

The mini-bestiary in here on 20-21 is really cool. The whole thing really tells an interesting story (even though I can't read Japanese!)

yeah! those are like the first couple of monsters you face too, so it’s pretty rewarding to see them transform from cool concept art to pre-rendered animated sprites in-game. I’m pretty sure they just tell you some vague description of what they are and what they can do too. Cool way to do a “monster manual” kinda thingie.
