I'm looking for just the manual to Shenmue

Postby Tpgb12 » Sun Dec 27, 2015 6:43 pm

My copy of Shenmue is missing the game manual, but it does have the passport manual. I've been looking on eBay and haven't had any luck finding a loose manual. Do any of you somehow have one to spare? Thanks.

I was looking on eBay earlier today for Shenmue merch. Oddly, I saw that there were quite a few of loose Disc 2's for the first game which makes no sense to me. That said, if you want a copy of the manual, you'll probably have to buy another copy of the game which isn't necessarily cheap. You may be better off getting the old strategy guide which is a cheaper option but not exactly what you're looking for.

That said, I was able to do a quick Google search and find the following site: www.replacementdocs.com This site has scanned downloadable copies of manuals for both Shenmue games among hundreds of others. You could download, print and piece together a new manual for yourself.

If you still want an original copy of the manual, your next best bet will be to find a local gaming store that deals in classic games. I myself have one in my town that goes all the way back to the Atari 2600. It's possible that they would have a copy of Shenmue, but again, you'd probably have to buy the whole game as they may not be willing to part with just the manual.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, I really don't want to buy another copy of the entire thing because it's not a cheap game. I also have no local game stores except for GameStop, and... they wouldn't have anything like this. I may just get a complete Japanese copy of the Special Edition of the game as it's much cheaper than the US version. I appreciate the advice, though.
