https://www.gog.com/forum/general/list_of_gog_games_with_missing_manuals_and_where_to_find_them_1
-----
Having recently come across a few games on GOG with missing manuals, and being a huge fan of manuals myself, I've decided to compile a list of GOG games with missing or incomplete manuals and, where possible, links to where replacements of those manuals can be found.
There is a related GOGmix by Treasure. Please take the time to give her credit too, since her work helped tremendously in creating this list.
(EDIT: Unfortunately, since GOG stopped supporting GOGmixes, that link no longer works).
The list will include any manuals, reference cards, maps... etc that came with the game, but will not include any guide books or similar that were sold separately. It will also only include games that did have an English copy of the manual for the PC in the first place.
Non-ideal replacements (e.g. non-English, non-PC, low quality, text excerpts...) will be included only if no other alternatives have been found.
You can help by:
• Reporting any games that you know have missing manuals so they can be added to the list.
• In case you own any of the manuals that cannot be found yet (Appendix A), scanning and posting them here.
• Providing definite answers to any of the open questions (Appendix C).
• Reporting any broken or missing links or any other mistakes.
Credits:
Other than aforementioned Treasure, I'd like to thank Grargar who tirelessly helps keep this up to date, as well as anyone else who contributed to this thread or provided copies of manuals.
