Question on Xonox Double Ender manuals

[+Omegamatrix]

I have the manuals for the Tomarc the Barbarian/Motocross Racer cart and they are in black & white. What is strange is they don't say double ender on them. Tomarc/Motocross is a strange cart too. The shell is made out of black plastic instead of the greyish one used on the other double enders, and from what I understand is a Canada only release. I got the cart and manuals from an original owner along with an Chuck Norris Super Kicks/Artillery Duel & instructions, and the Chuck Norris Super Kicks/Artillery Duel instructions were in color with the double ender mention on top. Xonox seems to be a strange company in that they had cheap B&W manuals for the original released single enders and then went to more expensive color ones for the double enders. What about cutting costs?? Anyhow my question is does anyone have a color Tomarc the Barbarian or Motocross Racer manual? Until one appears I dare say that they don't exist.

 

I've added some scans below. Also note the Tomarc instrustions are slightly darker.

The single enders were mostly shipped with the B&W manuals, but sometimes color ones were found in sealed copies as well. I don't think anyone has ever found a B&W manual with the double enders. The color difference is probably just fading.

Have you ever peeked inside your Tomarc/Motocross racer box besides just seeing if the correct cart is there? I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that your manuals are black and white. Let me know. I'm really curious.

Most of the PAL double enders are black, just buy them in Germany.

Yep, done that myself. This guy has at least 3 black ones, maybe Rudi can pick them up for you.

My Robin Hood/Sir Lancelot and Tomarc the Barbarian/Motocross Racer double-enders are both black and they're definitely NTSC.

Yep, same here.

Both of the Tomarc/Motocross's I have are in a blackish shell, the RH/SL I own is greyish a greyish shell like my other double enders:

Now that I think about it, I think my Robin Hood/Sir Lancelot has a grey shell, too. It's probably my Chuck Norris Superkicks/Artillery Duel that has the black shell.

 

I don't have the instructions for any of them, though.

The European box is nicer too, big, book-opening style, with nice little booklets for manuals:

I used to have Ghost Manor/Spike's Peak and Chuck Norris Superkicks/Artillery Duel. Both shells were gray, and the maunals were all blue. I do not recall if they had the "Double Ender" text on them.

 

Spike's Peak/Ghost Manor had screenshots on the label, and Chuck Norris/Artillery Duel had artwork.

I got a boxed single ender yesterday form the original owner and it had the color instructions. Xonox just threw them in there I would guess.

Was it a Tomarc the Barbarian or a Motocross Racer, Jason? I'm still waiting for anyone to show a photo or scan of one of these in color with double ender printed on it. Until then I say they doesn't exist. Prove me wrong, anyone?

[Trade-N-Games]

No it was a Ghost Manor. I Dont have that double ender boxed or instructions. I do have the single ender of each boxed and like normal both are B&W

I just checked my Motocross / Tomarc CIB, it contains 4 black & white manuals, 2 in english and 2 in french.

[+Omegamatrix]

Thanks Cpuwiz for checking. I used to throw French manuals out as a kid and just keep the English ones. I suspect a lot of people did the same so they are probably a lot rarer then the English ones. So that's what the complete set looks like? Was there any advertisments or warranty cards?

 

I think this goes a long ways in confirming there are no color manuals for the Tomarc/Motocross double ender. Anyone want to produce a scan or photo of a color manual to prove that wrong?
