Found on the Kotaku website -

https://sites.google.com/view/snesmanuals

Certainly seems comprehensive. I can see myself losing a few hours here.

It sure is neat, kaz. I love looking through game manuals! In fact I did earlier...

I'm jesting, man! It's cool that this thread will bring more attention to it :-).

I almost checked the retro chat thread first, but, knowing I rarely go in there but AM interested in this, I stand by my pig headed ways.

It sure is a neat thing. I'd love to see similar sites for the Mega Drive and Master System!

There’s a pretty comprehensive NES manuals archive out there too, I forget the web address but I have most of them saved on my laptop.

Oh nice! I get massive nostalgia kick from manuals of this era. That being said, it's not the same as holding the original artefacts in hand. But it is a lot cheaper.

Yes, it lacks the certain smell and aroma of an early 90s SNES manual.

Still, this is what archive.org is all about, and what a preservation site it is. Hopefully one day they'll be able to emulate the aroma!
