I have the cd-roms of an old version, and the box, but I've lost my manual...

The email in the cd jewel inlay is bouncing back. Anyone any idea if Sierra or Troika are still in the business of handing out manuals, or have a link for a downloadable version?

Thanks very much Bobbin!
Very helpful!

A working link to patch 1.0.4.7 would be very helpful too...

Is this game retired enough yet?

a direct link:

but there is other Patches for Arcanum. Search for it here:

Also, take this patch too:

http://www.terra-arcanum.com/downloa.../UAP081229.exe

Its an unofficial one, but it adds tons of new stuff to game that was left out/removed.

That's weird - I tried PC Scrolls and it didn't work before. Cheers Paco.

They must have more than one version on their server...

Unfortunately, I think I remember this unofficial patch crashing the game if it wasn't updated to the latest version before Sierra's FTP decided to not let you have stuff.

Sux.

It fixed a lot of stuff, though - this game really did need a lot of the bugs taken out in order to achieve the epic status it enjoy(s/ed).

I think this is one of my favourite RPG's along with Oblivion: Elder Scrolls.

I like Oblivion, but you gotta be careful mentioning it around here, its prone to heavy flak fire from ground defences..

Arcanum rocks, thankyou TC for introducing it to me, but one problem. the game is BIG, how the heck....wait no ISO it'll jsut belinked to a different site, nevermind....

[Saccade]

You guys kick arse big time.

This game is quality - I wish they'd sorted it out and re-released it so it wasn't bugged to hell.

I think you need to Sail the Seven Seas of the Internet to find the ISO's for this little number, but you can pick it up real cheap from places like Ebay.

I think I paid 99 new-pence of my copy.

You can't even get a "99" Flake Mr Whippy Ice-cream for that much anymore.
At the Cafe in Highgate Wood, across the road (I love having one of the only houses in London with a view of woodlands), a 99 will cost you 1.49 for a small one...

Bloody rip-off.

1p sweets are all 2-5p each too...
