Manuals

Hi,
Something I noticed while scanning manuals recently was that if a game has multiple versions the manual is usually the same across all versions.
If it's confirmed a manual is the same can they not be used or linked across those versions?

There are some other things on the 'ToDo' list, but maybe in a distant future there might be a chance that version support gets improved

For now, just tell us for which versions the manual or misc items should be added

I noticed it was mainly AGA games that were originally ECS/OCS like Zool and Chaos Engine.
I thought it pointless re-scanning them if they are identicle.

It was just a suggestion for the future as it was what I had noticed.

What is "To Do"? Is it anything interesting?

Indeed, if you find that a manual is the same for the OCS and the AGA version, just leave a note and it'll be added to other entry as well.
Oh and we don't want to spoil the surprise, do we?
