Would You Like a Dedicated Section for Gaming Manuals?

Once upon a time, every new game came with something special — a manual.
Before the days of instant tutorials and YouTube walkthroughs, these little booklets were our guides to strange new worlds.

They weren’t just instructions; they were a piece of the game’s soul.
You’d open a brand-new copy of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and find a colorful booklet filled with maps, lore, and hand-drawn art.
Or explore the Final Fantasy VII guide to discover about characters before you started playing.
Even smaller games such as Super Mario Bros. 3 or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night had guides that enhanced the experience — you basically had a piece of history.
But along the way, they disappeared.
Downloads replaced boxes, and PDFs (if they were even present) were soon an afterthought.
And with them, we lost a bit of the magic that comes from playing a game for the first time.

We at Pixelreel have been wondering — what if we could bring them back?
Think of a special area on the site:
A searchable library of game guides, from older consoles like NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, and PlayStation 1, to more recent ones like PS2, Xbox, and GameCube.
Saved manuals scanned and readable in high-quality format — with cover art, notes, and maybe even community additions.

It’d be an in-game nostalgia library, a celebration of the art and storytelling that once came on paper.

So the question is:
Would you like to see this kind of section on Pixelreel?
Would you employ it — or even give away your own guides to help build the archive?
