I'm just wondering if there will also follow a full manual for the game. The aid card released today is only a part of it and is not explaining what to do and what is the goal in the different minigames. :-/

Ok. Thanks.

In the meantime, my - albeit pretty badly done (it was 13 years ago) - scanned version of the manual can be grabbed from here:

Once GOG gets a better scan sorted, then of course use that. But this should work. Note, the first text pages which are just fluff are the worst; the rest gets a lot more readable.

So you're the fellow I have to thank! I used your copy of this manual years ago when I first downloaded and played this game off of either Home of the Underdogs or Abandonia, I forget which. I came to really like this game. Thanks for the effort you put into scanning this massive manual. I'll probably grab the GOG copy of this game sometime in the future

That's no problem at all. I always wanted the game as a kid, and it was how I actually found the abandonware scene!

I remember it was a total pain to scan the manual, as I was using the world's slowest scanner that someone gave me. A couple of minutes per page; and then uploading over a non-broadband connection. It was a huge pain, but I knew how much the game needed the manual, and just how much enjoyment I got out of it. Man, I can't believe it was so long ago now!

Thank you so much for this.

Great, it's just what the Dr. ordered. Thanks so much!

Just a quick update, folks.

We have the full physical manual. We are currently awaiting the publisher's approval and then I will do my best to get the scanned manual looking as best as possible...and try to get it not be so large filesize-wise. Keep in mind it's 90+ pages long so this will take a while :/

90+ pages? How about start the scanning before you hear back from the publishers. Unless, you aren't sure they will approve it?

Ah ok. I was a bit confused because I was asking for the german version of the game in the manual thread. So I thought the german version of the game has been added too. ;-)
