Ever lost a manual and then needed it? Ever bought a used game that didnt come with a manual? Like to look at the pretty artwork in the manual but your little brother ate it? Fear no more!
There are many sites like this out there, but HQScans is the best Ive found. People contribute their own scans to the site and they are hosted for everyone to download. They even include maps and other things if available. You can find out more info at the site.
If you download the SNES file, check out Secret of Mana. There are some awesome pictures of little clay figures they made for the game in it. Oh, and same for Earthbound if its in there!
HQScans
UPDATE: HQScans has since closed. Thanks to GunZeroX for pointing out this site:











‘HQScans’ no longer exists! Damn!

HQScans was just a community of content thieves anyway… Luckily, the site that HQScans stole most of their content from (www.replacementdocs.com) is alive and kicking again. You should check out their site.
They were the original place to get game manuals online. HQScans just downloaded all the manuals from replacementdocs and a few other places and threw up their site with pretty much no effort. It’s a damn shame what they’re doing. And it’s just a cheap imitation. I for one, prefer replacementdocs. Not so many assholes

GunZeroX (or is it Sleepy?):
How is it possible that hqscans stole most of their content from replacmentdocs when they’ve got about three times as many files as replacementdocs?
The only files ’stolen’ from replacementdocs by hqscans were the PC manuals, which Sleepy didn’t seem to mind as he saw how it would save him bandwidth since all us collectors would go to hqscans instead since they’ve got torrents.
Now, isn’t it funny how Sleepy ’steals’ files from others (check out the latest addition of TurboGFX manuals) but still lists himself as the contributor? At least hqscans are consistent when not giving credit to anyone, rather than lying about it as sleepy does.
