'Hardware in peril' from Japanese safety instructions

found a couple while looking through manuals last night. the top image was in two different irem games. keep your cds clean!

That new Valis collection includes the manuals (one of the nice things it does in a pretty uneven package), and therein is a reminder that you should not shove a pencil in your PC Engine disc but you should let your PC Engine disc sleep in a pizza box, it likes that

Marble Madness on the Mega Drive seems to be enjoy being poked.

@tokucowboy Wow!! Did people think that CDs needed rewinding manually?

Not in peril, but was too good not to share.

Excellent contributions @Kimimi !

@kory like pressing on a fontanelle

@kory I was surprised they were all unique!

Been meaning to post these for two years, well I’m finally cracking open my mega drive games again. this is either from shining force 2 or landstalker. Already forgot!!




And more from Golden Axe


@treefroggy Very late reply but the concerned fairy and clumsy dragon are from Shining & The Darkness.

The manuals for Shining Force, Landstalker and Shining Force II all share the same Sonic-themed warning page posted by @Unbeknownst2U earlier.

They also had Phantasy Star II/IV designer Yoshibon draw a new safety manual Nei (check the manual itself for all the danger pics https://sega.jp/mdmini2/assets/manual/page/index.html?pid=0)

From the back of the Hon Shogi (本将棋) cart for Famicom:

Please don’t feed to alligators.
