Atari Age member DaddaRuleKonge has just posted two links with ecyclopedias he has created for various retro consoles. The latest one is the Atari Jaguar Encyclopedia. These are available for free and he is very specific about not wanting any donations. So, when you go to the link to download just follow his instructions: Every PDF is free just hit the "No thanks, just take me to the downloads" link. He also has some guides for toys available as one for Game and Watch Systems. Sadly, no Vectrex Encyclopedia yet. Here are some pictures of the covers... |

Absolutely. I'm hoping he makes a Vectrex Encyclopedia!

Just as an update. Two more encyclopedias are being worked on: Atari 7800 and Vectrex! Not sure how long that'll take but at least we may see a Vectrex Encyclopedia. |

A user on the AtariAge Forums by the name of DaddaRuleKonge has been releasing comprehensive PDF Encyclopedia style books for various consoles including the Playstation, NES, SNES, Genesis, Neo Geo, Gamecube, and many more. He has just released a version for the Vectrex. His layouts are very nice and seem to include every game released for most of the systems they cover (looking through the SNES one, it seems to have everything). There are screenshots, pictures of boxes, carts and manuals. The NES is especially good in its pictorial of packaging for all regions. In addition, no fee is associated with downloading them though there is a donation service available. daddarulekonge.itch.io/I'm not sure if an update is planned or the author is currently working on it but the information is a bit dated, incomplete and has a mishmash of released physical games and downloadable digital games. It's missing some of the Fury games, all of the Luchs games, all of Binary Star's games, and the Debris LE entry has a picture of the Debris EE box. But its still a nice resource. |

Ah, I had posted about this. I see he has already made the Vectrex and 7800 encyclopedias!

Did you post it here?
The author states he may revisit the Vectrex Encyclopedia.

Ok. It's hard to remember with the multiple forums (AA, DP, VGF, FB) and the cross-related content in these sub-forums.

I tried to see if I could merge the topics but can't find how to do it. It looks like you can only do one post at a time. There doesn't seem to be a way to merge entire threads. I'm about to catch a bus to go run an errand, so I'm just going to lock this for now. If you want to mess with it in the meantime, click on Moderate for the post(s), then I think Move (if I'm remembering correctly), then it'll have an option to Merge with another thread. |

Hey, I figured it out. I was able to move all the posts. |

Good deal, chief.
Anyway, if the guy makes additions and all, do let me know, as I'd download that version.

I've downloaded the current version and saved the site so I can check if he posts new versions. Looks like he does update these.

Yes, I noticed that too and he has mentioned making updates to the books in the AA thread.
