DarkStar88 - Lucasfilm - Battlehawks 1942
Review, boxscans, floppy images*, ring-bound manual scan...the works. Had this game back when I was a little-bitty sprout, found a copy with the whole shebang for $2 at a thrift store just today. :woot2:
This is a sweet DOS WW2 flight sim that Abandonia should be graced to have! *the game includes both 3 1/2 and 5 1/4 size disks. I should be able to get one of our ancient 5 1/4 drives to work, and hopefully the floppies are still good. Last edited by DarkStar88; 08-07-2009 at 12:29 AM. Reason: missed something! |

You'll get nice pics of the whole thing. The 'manual' is not only a game manual but has so much factual content (all of it 100% accurate) it could also be considered a war-history/reference book/technical manual all in one. As a matter of fact, the historical content is mixed in so well with the game-related stuff it's almost impossible to say where one ends and the other begins! :weird:
Oh yes - and did I mention the foldout maps of the four sea battles...in full color? |

I'll see if I can get my scanner working with one of my boxes. (had to rebuild them both quite recently)
Here we go. Note that these are quick-and-dirty scans; I don't know what the heck caused those funky slanted lines. A scanned battlemap--- Boxshots--- And finally a two-page spread--- Last edited by DarkStar88; 08-07-2009 at 02:22 AM. |

Thanks! Sorry about the massive size, forgot about that. And I'll see about those **** lines.
As to the rest of the stuff - how do I upload disk images and everything? |

[APPROVED] I'll send you a PM with instructions about how to upload it on FTP.
Have you got some screenshots too?

problems...
Will get the screenshots up by end of today.
One of the 5 1/4 disks won't read, but thankfully the 3 1/2 copied without a hitch. Scanned the reference card and working on the manual now; I'll try to stitch all the copy-protection pics together as a single JPEG for convenience's sake. Edit: Stupid $#%& zonealarm blocking all the imagesharing sites ...here we go AT LAST. Last edited by DarkStar88; 11-07-2009 at 05:01 AM. |
