FoA manual

Hi all,

As I've got my copy of Fate of Atlantis from one of those anthology-packs LucasArts published somewhere in 1995, I got the CD version.

However, I remember once loaning a copy from someone back when it was released on floppies. It came in this terrific box, but also with a terrific manual!

For Buccaneer II, I want to write a manual as well, and since I'm basing the interface on Fate of Atlantis, I'm looking for that manual for inspiration...

...would anyone know if there's someplace to download it?

Hmm...I have the original UK floppies Indy FoA release and I can't see that much special about the manual. It had the awesome box art on the cover, but inside it was the usual LucasArts manual of the interface, getting started, game design philosophy, etc. There was extra stuff for explaining the many arcade/puzzle sequences in the game (camel-riding, surveying, the submarine, the car chase, etc.), and at the top and bottom of each page were the sun/moon/earth-stone drawings for copy protection. The only slightly special thing was a bilbliography relating to Plato/Atlantis in the back.

Maybe the US or European box contained a better manual though...great game in any case, but I never played the CD version yet

Looking forward to Buccaneer II, keep up the good work Hobbes
