Typed up Game Manuals (Amiga text form)

[paul1981]

I have created a small selection of Amiga game manuals. Some are improvements of existing manuals, whilst others are from scratch or OCR. It's a fiddly job, but I am happy with the results. More may follow in the future too.

My question is one of legality in uploading them here - would it be breaking any rules? They are old Amiga games of course, 30 years old etc. I was going to upload them grouped into a single lha file attachment, each manual having its own drawer and icon - but I thought I had better check first before assuming it was okay.

I might be wrong but I think some manuals are available by L.S.D?

No, you're quite right, but I'm already aware of those. I have all the LSD's, and the MegaDocs are derived from those also. They're not all there either, there's plenty missing. I'm not sure about GrapeVine, but anyway, we're just talking a few that I'll do from time to time, perhaps. I just wanted to share what I have done with others who might appreciate them.

Quick answer: No
Only if a copyright holder would ask for the typed in manual to be removed it would be a problem.

They are:

Dragonstone
Dragonstone CD32
Lethal Weapon
Lords of Chaos
Netherworld
Roadkill
Roadkill CD32
Vroom

They should display correctly on a variety of text viewers.

I'd like to add the Vroom Data Disk instructions if there's an English one in existence anywhere.

Oops...missed off Lords of Chaos from the list!

New today:

All Terrain Racing
Black Viper
Cisco Heat
Road Blasters
Street Racer AGA
Super Monaco GP
Vroom
X-Out

The Vroom re-upload corrects a minor issue with the text reader in File Master 3 from 1995 (my favourite directory utility).
