Hmm, if I remember correctly, the original Maniac Mansion "manual" was just a piece of paper explaining the controls. I don't think I still have mine, though.

It didn't just explain the controls if it was i piece of paper. If you got your copy not from Day Of The Tentacle. The lame-o-copy protection thing was when you open the steel doors upstairs there actually closed. To open them you need a manual which has all the codes in. The codes are much like the Zak McKracken one. BTW, I found a way to slide past without even using the codes in Zak.

Oh, you mean that Nuk'em Alarms thingy? That one I've got, I think. I never got very far in the game, actually, so I never realised that's what those codes were for. Would anybody be interested in that, then? I suppose those codes won't be needed to play the remake, though, right?

Nope, you don't need the codes in the re-make. And since no one got the LucasArts re-make or bought the original (that I know of) they either got it from Day Of The Tentacle or MMD. BTW anyone ever play the Maniac Mansion Mania series? Quite fun. Though a fair bit of them are only German. Same people that made MMD.

The only manuals I've got in english are Terminal Velocity and Command & Conquer (DOS and Windows version, which one do you prefer?), I'll see if I can get them onto PDFs.

Edit (by Tom):
Thanks k:

What about the first pages of the book?
Edit (by me):
Well that cover was the first page of the booklet tha came along as a manual for the whole Larry collection. I'll just scan the whole thing (better to have more then less).

Thumbs up

Well, I have a book from an Interplay RPG Collection titled "The Ultimate RPG Archives." Within is a collection of manuals from twelve different games. Two of them appear on your list. If you don't mind getting the manuals in this form, I can try and scan them and covert them to PDF.

The first I have is Wasteland. It weighs in at 47 pages but I think I can cut that in half as the book is small enough to fit two pages per scan. No pictures, but it does have the paragraphs that you need to get important story points. However this is an ESA protected game, so let me know if I should go through the trouble.

The second contained in this massive volume is Ultima Underworld II. Since someone else may have already scanned and submitted it, I will await confirmation before doing so as well. This manual also includes the reference card as an integral part of the manual.

So again, if you guys want either of these, let me know. I will be more than happy to submit them.
