| 186748 | 2003-10-26 06:28:00 | I was playing an old game the other day and needed to look up the manual to refresh my memory on some finer points, then found I couldnt locate it. Bugger! On searching on the Internet I found a site called replacement docs (http://www.replacementdocs.com) where someone has laboriously scanned all their game manuals and viola, I now have my manual again. If you are trying to find a manual for an older game then this is the place. |

| 186751 | 2003-10-26 07:27:00 | Thanks Parry, that's a really good site. :-) Someone I know has lost their manuals for a couple of games so I will get some brownie points when I send them the link to that place. :D |

| 186752 | 2003-10-26 07:49:00 | Your most welcome. The amount of work involved to make those manuals must have been a huge task. I found another good site as well called Universal Hint System (www.uhs-hints.com) which gives you brief hints for a game, but done in a clever way to only give you snippets so that it doesnt spoil everything. I dont usually use any walkthroughs (and never cheats) but sometimes the enjoyment of a game is sapped out of me when you get to a roadblock you cant pass. Especially for RPG or adventure games. Good gaming. |

| 186754 | 2003-10-27 00:16:00 | What an excellent, useful site (replacement docs) -- now that's what I call a practical, useful application of the WWW/Internet. | Chemical Ali (118) | ||
