If you are thinking about spacequest.net or reviewgames.com, then we can't host those manuals.

Frans (from spacequest.net) is the man behind the scanning of those. Whereas the bastard from reviewgames.com stole his manuals and is hosting them on his site. He refuses to remove them, but they do in fact belong to Frans (who have asked us not to place his manuals up, and we respect that wish).

I could make PDFs if someone sends me scans.

I also think Ultima 6 has a manual - but inside the zip. Or was it Ultima 7? Man, I'm losing track here.

I have a few of those manuals, somewhere. Pretty sure I at least have most of the old Sierra manuals, and the Zak McKraken one.

Let me see if I can find the boxes they're in, and what exactly I have. If I find them, I'll make them into PDFs.

I actually typed up Kings Quest 4, The Perils of Rosella once upon a time, I'll have a look for the hardcopy, if I find it I'll type it out again, be smaller then PDF's... unless thats specially what your after.

Also had the Robin Hood - Conquests of the Longbow original manual... I'll have a hunt around next time I go home, it has heaps of neat info in it, but last time I checked all that was in the box was the floppies and a advertising cover

Cross your fingers for me k:

Yes, having only one format in which we provide manuals is better then several different ones. Even if you never use the enchanced abilities that PDF's have it is better to make a PDF out of the manual then to make a simple TXT file.

Ok, I've scanned the manusls for:

Ultima 8 Pagan
Little Big Adventure
Heimdall 2
Fate of Atlantis
Cruise for a Corpse (not all)


Thing is that I lost all motivation to actually finish making them into PDFs, so it may take some time... (I'd rather play games than making PDFs, I'm funny that way I guess).

I also just bought Ultima VII: The Black Gate and Ultima VII: Serpent Isle so at some point in the far distant future I may feel the urge to scan those manuals too. Maybe.
