Lunar Guidebook Scans

So for my birthday this year I decided to order some Lunar things that I have been holding off of. They mostly just consisted of the PSX game guidebooks from Working Designs. (I also got the other one for SSSC) At the moment the only one that arrived so far is Lunar 2 Eternal Blue's. It is complete with all pages, stickers and poster page. So I did a few scans. You guys might have these already though, since it's been awhile since I checked the webpage. :P

*THESE ARE LARGE IMAGES!*
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete

Cover - It is reversible, but I'm only scanning this one.

That... couldn't have been cheap. I've seen how much the LUNAR Eternal Blue Complete guides go for now and I'm amazed. I'm glad I bought mine the day it came out; was right around $20 if I remember right. The good thing is though the Eternal Blue guide is much tougher than the Silver Star Story Complete guide. My SSSC guide is falling apart and I'm afraid I'll have to get another one in the near future.

Thanks for scanning portions of it.

I paid $80 for the eternal blue one and $30 for my Working Designs Silver Star Story one. That one I probably won't scan becuase it does have a bad binding with two pages already falling out - if anything I might just scan the poster page part and maybe the one page with the Vile Tribe girls on it since I don't think I've seen a good scale of it yet.

The Prima guide for SSSC is in black and white so I won't scan anything from it either.

$80?! :shock: That's more than either the SCCC or EBC games themselves were new when they came out.

They were going for that much just a year after EBC came out. Small print run, I suppose.

My husband and I each bought the guides (and games) separately so we have doubles. I don't normally concern myself with keeping things sealed, but in this case we've kept one sealed and one open. My first SSSC guide did come apart (I got it replaced) and I gave it to my sister; sometime I'll have to ask her to find it and then scan it myself since it's already in pieces.

If I recall correctly, the guidebook wasn't ready in time for the game's release, which led to small orders from retailers (the majority of guidebook sales coming when the game is brand new) and therefore a small print run.

It was supposedly hard to obtain without a preorder but I was lucky. My local GameStop happened to have a copy.

Yeah I walked into my local Electronics Boutique and threw down $20 for it brand new. Now that I think about it I do remember now that I didn't get it the day I got EBC on release day but rather picked up the book on a subsequent visit.
