Thank you GOG for re-releasing this game. I'm interested in it since I saw it on an episode of Ancient DOS Games (this one: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/ep0030.html)
But I bought a physical copy, so I did not really need it here. By the way, don't you have the full manual? I have it laying around, and I'm sure I have a PDF for it. I'll look after that when I get home and could send it to GOG or post a link here if needed.

Ok great, keep up the good work, and bringing us hidden gems and unsung classics like this.

Although I'm really really happy with this game here, the fact that it lacks any kind of instructions is disappointing... For me having it now is better than later, but it feels sloppy, even more if you already have access to the original manual.

Here's a link to my copy of the manual I scanned in years and years ago for Home of the Underdogs. It should do until the official version happens.

(if someone wants to put it somewhere more permanent, please do! Also, if the GOG staff want me to remove it at any point, then no problem, just let me know)

Oh, and sorry for the not great quality. This was done back in 2001...

Yeah I searched for a better version then yours some time in 2012 and found none in English. I find a pretty good scan of the German manual and would share it if anybody is interested. Did not bother me that much, because I am German and bought a physical (English) copy from ebay a week or 2 later. And it is from the era of games when they almost always translated the documentation but almost never translated the game itself. So it is a German manual to game that is still in English, which is now even weirder then it was to me back in the day (when I did not understand English at all).
