   Once again, thank you very much for the time and effort you are putting into making all these extra books available.

     You’re welcome. It’s not all that much effort now I’ve got the book scanner. There should be something like another 20 books before I run out of them.

       I have a couple of somewhat rare hint book scans if you would be interested: The Dig Official Guide and Full Throttle Official Guide (although this one is not the full book, just the walkthrough section).

       Also, you may or may not know, but almost all of the original Sierra On-Line hint books are available for download at http://www.sierragamers.com, which is Ken Williams official website.

         Thanks, I didn’t know about all those Sierra hint books actually. I didn’t need to do GK1 then, but I didn’t waste my time on GK3 at least. Sierra must have redone all the older guides as I remember many of these using invisible ink that you had to colour over using a marker.

         Alternating pages with the red stripped out is a good idea. I ought to do that with Monkey Island 2.

         There is a Full Throttle walkthrough already on replacementdocs but I’d be very interested in The Dig. I can’t promise they will ever approve it but you ought to chuck it on replacementdocs. I’d be happy to host it on here as well if you like.

   Quick question – are the X-Wing and TIE Fighter guides for the original releases, or the CD-ROM versions with all the extra material? Thanks.

     They are both for the original release.

   I’ve been looking for the X-wing and TIE Fighter guides for so many years. Thanks for sharing them!

   Any chance you can find the Collector’s CD-ROM versions of the guides?

     I’m sure I’ll get them sooner or later but they aren’t too high up the list at the moment.

     That’s another of the ones that wasn’t scanned by me. I didn’t own a copy at the time but I’ve picked one up since so I’ve added the missing pages in now.

   More Avatar Adventures guide is still missing the original pages 237, 238.
   You have mistakenly scanned pages 237 + 238 from the original “The Avatar Adventures” guide and incorrectly added them to the wrong guide named “More Avatar Adventures”.
   Please correct this, if possible. Thanks.

     More haste, less speed…. It should be correct this time.

   Thanks for the extra TIE Fighter Defender guide. Been wondering about that one for years, since the full Collector’s CD-ROM edition of the original hint book seems so hard to find.

     You’re welcome. I’ve got the collectors CD guide here to scan in next so you will probably see that later in the week.

    Looking at the Giant Upload List over at Replacement Docs, it seems that you have uploaded the guides for Freelancer and Dungeon Keeper there.
    Guides over at RD can take months, sometimes years until they are available for download there. I wonder if you could upload these 2 guides here. I’ll greatly appreciate it.

      I know all too well how long replacementdocs can take. I’ll put those two up here at some point.

    Hi!

    Just a little question. Do you have the Player Reference Card of the IBM version of Ultima I? I keep looking for it and can’t find it anywhere.

    Thanks in advance!

      Sorry, I don’t have that one as my copy is for the C64. The nearest I’ve got is the reference guide for the IBM version of the Ultima Trilogy.

    Hey Pix, I have a little request if you don’t mind. After checking the ultima 4 5 & 6 from GOG I noticed that the u5 spellbook doesn’t have any pictures at all (replacementdocs got the same one), so if you could scan that one it would be great. I suppose I never noticed it because I have the help files from my Ultima Collection and the spellbook there had pictures on it.

      There are several issues with the Ultima manuals on GOG from what I remember. I’ll have a look at getting this scanned when I get the chance.

    Pix, don’t worry about scanning the book of spells of u5. I noticed that it’s included inside the book of lore.

    btw I found this site yesterday: http://mocagh.org/

    If you check the origin part of the site you can find a lot of scans of manuals and references from the Ultima games. That includes the original manual for Akalabeth. I think some of the scans may be yours, but I haven’t checked all of them.

      That explains why I couldn’t remember there being a spellbook. I’ve seen the Adventure Game Museum site before, although the document scans are new. It has to be one of the world’s largest game collections, I’d love to get my hands on some of that stuff. I can’t say I’m too worried if he is borrowing scans, I might borrow some the other way if it saves me any scanning.

      I’ve never thought of calling myself a museum, but my hoard is growing to the sort of size where I could possibly justify it. I wonder if I’d be able to get tax relief on buying games…
