I found some old instruction books for a few NES and SNES games and am curious what i should do with the things. Obviously they wouldn't really be worth selling but it would be kind of cool to make some sort of art piece out of the pop art in the books.

I found:

a poster for Tengen Super Sprint
the box to the SNES Street Fighter II
a poster to Tengen RBI Baseball
then the manuals to the Zapper gun, River City Ransom, the first Final Fantasy, Duck Hunt/Mario Brothers combo, Street Fighter II, and Super Mario World.

Any cool ideas for something to do with the things. I hate to just throw them out.

Burn them, of course.

If you could encase them in resin or something, they'd make cool coasters.

I save all my old boxes and video game magazines. Why? I don't know, but I just like to have them around.

i stick all my books in a drawer. really have no reason to save them, but i know once I throw them away ill need one of them

That might be interesting...

I have done something slightly similar with old board game boards. Mount them on plywood, clear coat them, add some rails and you have a neat TV tray sort of thing. I actually have a few boards set aside I need to turn into trays soon. Perhaps i could do something similar...

It would be neat though to take apart the Final Fantasy book to put pages up in something since it hat all these old screen shots. The cover art for SFII also highly amuses me.

I like that Idea for the board game tv trays, only prob is that they would be square instead of rectangle.

I have a Fantasy Island Board game that I want to do something with....

Scan them and put them on a webpage

Some are square, some aren't. I have one i'm working on now where i pulled cardboard top off an Operation game. It will obviously be kind of small and rectangular.

I'd give you a couple bucks for the Final Fantasy manual (do you have the map too?)

uh mail them too me

No map, just the actual manual.

I might be willing to sell it if i can't think of anything else to do with the thing. I wasn't trying to fish for sales though (before anyone thinks that is what i was doing). It just seems like there out to be something cool and kitschy i could fabricate.

I've been looking for a manual for Capcom SNK 2EO (Xbox)...I found a beautiful copy at a used store in a crappy box (artwork was perfect though) and the disc was perfect, but no damn book! Cost me $5!
