And yes, that text format version of the manual over at Lemon Amiga is exactly the same, word for word.

Box, paperwork, manual (is it exactly same as on lemonaiga), even floppies can be scanned in scanner. And if they work as you say, you can create floppy images. We accept and provide everything as extras.

Heh, I actually recently purchased the DOS version from Amazon.. the product box, paperwork (including warranty registration card, and a Virgin game catalog from the era), game manual, and 5-/14" floppies were in mint condition (the floppies were even readable and error free).

The real Risk for DOS manual :)

Folks,

It appears that the link for the PDF manual for this game is actually for the Windows 3.x version of the game.

Note that the Windows 3.x version of the game is a TOTALLY different animal... not even coded by the same developers, and IM(Not So)HO completely inferior to the DOS version of the game (the DOS version covers EVERY variation of the board game from that era, and the GUI is a LOT more intuitive).

Anyhow, here is a text version of the correct manual for the DOS version of this game -> http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/docs.php?id=1354 Note that the manual covers the IBM PC (DOS) version of the game, as well as the Amiga and Atari versions of the game (the same developers created identical ports for them).

MonsignorGabriel Excellent adaptation of the game, but it's definitely more exciting to play with friends.

BranjoHello "Band of war brothers", some juice or maybe beer, one room with large table for 6 people and one copy of Risk board game...that is all you need!

On computer I prefer "Risk II" which is very good, also Same-Time-Risk is a nice refreshment if you get little bored of normal mode!

Sebatianos It's safe to play, but yes, there is the exit problem. To be honest, I'm not sure what the direct exit command should do - it does say SHUTDOWN and I'm guessing Windows won't accept that command, so they just ignore it. Pressing the flying window, or ctrl+alt+delete exits it just fine and there are no problems.

Tiberius Quick question: Is this game safe to be playing outside of DOSBox? It hasn't frozen up while I play, but when I shutdown it doesn't exit out and I have to use ctrl-alt-delete.
