No it's not.
If you actually read this you will find out it's just a hint file some guy threw together.
It's definitely not the original manual , which is what I would really like to get my hands on.

OK, so I had this game on CD-Rom. Great game, of course. There's was this weird read me/manual program thing, from what I remember, and it had this really neat bit of lounge piano bar music with it. I'm dying to hear that again; as far as I know, it isn't included in the version here. If someone would post the ISO of the disc, or even just an MP3 (or MOD if that's what that particular bit of music came in), I would be greatly appreciative.

The Koshan Conspiracy music is here:

Great music!

Is the CD version of this game not available anymore?

It never was.

But Archive.org have it, for example.

In order to access the "CREATION" screen at the beginning of the game, right click your mouse and it will highlight the option. Then left click and it will activate the character creation screen. Hope this helps someone.

BTW, the game is a bit picky on the DOSBOX version. If it doesn't load or misbehaves, try another version or fork (ECE, PURE, X, etc.)
