HOL needs you! - Page 5

A while back demoniac uploaded a manual for Barbarian II by Psygnosis, but there are multiple pages missing. Yesterday I saw this on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165914744207

Not exactly cheap, but not that expensive either. Maybe somebody from the US could get it and scan the manual?

Scans of Aladdin's Magic Lamp uploaded (to the correct FTP this time

)

TCD · 03 May 2023, 16:11

Thank you very much

I'll have a look at them now.

Edit: All scans are now in HOL

Nice rare gem you have there!

fryguy · 03 May 2023, 22:33

Thanks!

The game seems to be made by Norwegians.

Abaddon · 03 May 2023, 23:23

Is there guidelines for scanning manuals and disks somewhere?

Update: Uploaded Spellbound! disk scans to the zone. Let me know if I need to rescan with a different DPI and format.

There isn't yet, but I'll ask Cody to add it to the contribution FAQ. Basically it should be at least 300 DPI and unmodified (no filters, no upscaling). File format also doesn't really matter.

Edit: The scans are fine

They have been added to the HOL entry.

I've moved PascalDe73's posts to a new thread: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=114434 (to keep it a bit more tidy)

Barbarian II Scans in my upload directory. It includes a PDF and the cropped images. Also scanned the registration card. Let me know if the scan is OK. I can pull the staples in rescan.

TCD · 08 May 2023, 08:16

Thank you very much

The scans are fine and I can work with them

Will take a bit, but the manual should be online later this day.

TCD · 08 May 2023, 11:13

I think the result is quite okay: https://hol.abime.net/36/manual

demoniac · 09 May 2023, 07:19

Great, I can finally close this loose end.

dreadnought · 21 May 2023, 10:51

This site has a complete Damocles manual scan (current one on HoL is just the first page)

http://mercenarysite.free.fr/m2box.htm

There are also some other scans (boxes, etc) which might or might not be better than what we have on HoL already.

TCD · 21 May 2023, 10:56

Thank you

I'll contact them and ask for permission to use the scans on HOL.

TCD · 01 June 2023, 11:38

Just got the permission to use manual

Will be added shortly.

I can scan all these Covers and CDs, including Adventurers Lair if it wanted.

Also I can do some Box Scans from 10 out of 10 series?

If they have at least some commercial games on them it would be great to have them in HOL

Of course we are also more than happy to get any other missing scans

Brat copy with the English manual: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186206962864
I would get it if the shipping wouldn't cost twice as much as the game...

Damn. Forward2Me in the UK can ship to Australia for 9.99 under 100 pounds value. They have a DE warehouse also.
