Bulk Slash manual questions

[JoeAwesome]

Awhile back, I got a copy for cheap off of eBay. I noticed that the manual cover seemed glued onto the case, with a fold out on the inside instead of pages. Is the manual supposed to be that way, or is my copy messed up?

Nope, that's it. Although I bought one that was glued and one that wasn't. I'm guessing a local store sticks them to prevent people from grabbing them off the display cases? (The 'manual' is a fold-out regardless.)

Thanks!

mine too is glued to the front of the case as is another forum members copy, the link you gave is to the "greatest hits" version mine is the "black label" first print maybe they did it only on the first print versions, then when it released for the saturn selects they didnt. i did a google search and it seems lots of people have the same problem with bulk slash

Yeah, I just mentioned in another thread that I recently got this game, and the manual is stuck. I have no idea at Hudson who thought that would be a good idea.

OK, so this is off-topic, but it's about the game. On the first level, I can pick up the copilot chick. I get to have a pretty girl drive around with me, and she constantly criticizes me and reminds me of my failures. It's just like marriage. Anyhow, if I save the game, turn off the Saturn, and then try playing a game starting at level 2, she's gone. So every time I play this, if I want the girl to help me, I have to start out at level 1 every time?

Dude that's trippy... I turned down a used copy years ago cuz it was glued. I can't believe it's that common.

haha i always thought the girl was doing something sexual because every time your ship gets hit she seems to have an orgasm in proper japanese fashion

I love Lira's animation when she gets hit . I need to get my hands on a copy of this game.

She's useful because she will tell you where to go, and there's a button to push to ask her for directions, similar to Burning Rangers. If you destroy multiple targets with a lock-on missile chain, she says, "That's wonderful!" But when you're getting hit, she's saying, "Look out! What do you think you're doing?" She's basically a back-seat driver, just like my wife. She just manages to be more charming about it.

crazy about the glued manual. It doesn't look glued in photos. I just messaged a seller as why in the world they would ship it like this - feel like a jerk now. Will correct my message.

Are there other games like this? The glue isn't even consistent :/

EDIT: and do we even call this a manual? It's a 2 page cover sheet. Odd.
