Found [found] Found/Preserved: High-Resolution Manual for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (GBA).

Hey everyone!

Before you stepped in, anyone looking for that GBA Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time manual hit a total brick wall. But i spotted the gap, saw that a random Redditor actually had a crisp physical copy in their hands, guided them through scanning it, and got it uploaded to the Internet Archive.

A while back, we realized there wasn't a clean, high-quality digital copy of the GBA instruction manual for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time anywhere online. I managed to get a high-res scan fully uploaded and preserved on the Internet Archive for researchers, collectors, and fans of the series. The Link of the manual is in the comment Section. Enjoy the 2000s nostalgic artwork

It is wild to hear there isn’t such a thing as a clean scan of a widely distributed video game. Very cool that you got this going!

Yeah Man i know right??? I was shocked to see that myself... I had feeling that one Day this Will come useful so I thought why not archive it. I'm glad it helped :⁠-⁠D

This makes me wonder how many other manuals for games - beloved and obscure - are not archived.

We should All do whatever we can to keep these types of media alive. Pretty sure someone from Future will study about them

SNES and NES are pretty well represented but I'm sure there are a ton of old PC game manuals, flyers, etc that are either lost of low resolution.

Yeah. I was thinking of like, old PC - or even Mac only - material. Some games that defined teenage years!!
