Is there any place on the internet where I can find this game's instruction booklet/game manual? (lemmy.world)

Do you need the original manual?

You could check archive.org

There is also a GameFAQs page.

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

archive org only has the booklet for the third game, not this one.

the gamefaqs page is also kinda empty.

Ebay has a copy. Super pricey. Wasn't able to find a digital version

Check yahoo auctions too. If you find a reasonable one and pay for shipping I could buy it in Japan. Or I could just scan it for you.

I love this! Internet bringing the world together.

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

No, they aren't from the same game.

Found one. Took me 10 seconds. Super expensive though.

We could crowd fundthis and archive the manual.

Here are some pages from an auction site, you may be able to do reverse image search to find more.

I see it on mercari. If people could fund it, I can buy it since I live in Japan and upload scans.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

No luck here. I tried searching in Japanese too but it's not present in any gameboy manual archive or archival site I knew about or DDG.

[–] Pacrat173@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The internet archive is my usual go to. I didn’t have any luck but if someone finds a scan of the manual I’m sure the archive would be a good place to preserve it.

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well I did try it there.
