Albert Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Someone emailed me a request for a CX-2600A manual. Does anyone have a PDF of this that they can send me? I'll put it up on the website so it's freely available. Would be nice to have scans of all the different 2600 manuals--I can put them together on one page. I promise that if you send me scans (or a completed PDF), that I will post it up on the site in short order. Thanks, ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I'll scan what I have but if you get better scans then obviously use those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizophretard Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Wouldn't it be better if I post them here, so someone can see if theirs is better quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 You can do that, but each file can only be a maximum of 200K (I think) in size. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I forgot about that. Why is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Three emails sent. If anyone else doesn't step up I can scan manuals for Sixers, Sears Sixers, Vader, Junior, 5200, 7800, and Gemini. Also, You can ask Philflound if you can use his 13 manual scans from here.

NE146 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hey Al.. was perusing the site (which I do sometimes ) and got to wondering why here in 2017 are so many VCS manuals here at Atariage (e.g. Asteroids, Vanguard, etc.) still only available in HTML format? It seems kind of a shame tbh.. Is it too much to host the various PDF's of them floating around? Just curious. e.g. http://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Atari_2600//Manual/formated/Vanguard_-_1982_-_Atari.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I noticed the other day that Brain Games has manual scans on the site that you can get to in a roundabout way, but not directly from the page itself (which only has the text version linked).

NE146 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Oh yeah like I said.. there's PDFs all around. I linked to one above. Heck I got leeched torrents of hundreds of them But they're just not here at Atariage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVgaTv Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Here is virtually every Atari 2600 Manual in PDF form.

NE146 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Dude.. the question is not "where" to find PDF manuals . The question is why are they not any hosted HERE at atariage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVgaTv Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Dude.. the question is not "where" to find PDF manuals . The question is why are they not any hosted HERE at atariage. Well I have them all on my site, so if Atari Age would like to use them they are more than welcome to. I got them from someone here on the forums and just figured I would make it easily accessible in a page like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could pretty easily add a PDF download for each of these manuals from their respective entries in the database.

I have the games broken down into individual folders that has the PDFs and jpeg images of every page though, so you should have everything you would need. PM me an email address and I'll send over some stuff when I get a break from work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Well here I can share what I have which is only about 800 megs zipped (just click "no thanks.. continue" at the dropbox popup): https://www.dropbox.com/s/rqu1uoqyafrpujb/2600_Manuals%20and%20Documents_USA.zip?dl=0 While I don't know if it's "complete" (it's just a torrrent I leeched), it has many of the missing pdf manuals that aren't here, like Asteroids, Missile Command, Raiders, Pac-Man, Space War, etc. i.e. stuff you would expect should be here.

Thanks I appreciate it. I love collecting manuals so I laid it out like I put out my collection on the table to thumb through them. Even if you don't click on a single one, it's still fun to scroll through them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, took me a while to piece that page together. And figured if I was going to do it I might as well include everything I had access to. Unfortunately I upgraded to a new computer, so I can't make any alterations to that site any more. So that page will live on as is until I get ultra motivated to redo the entire site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
