NOTE: Due to lack of space here, this is now moved to a new thread:
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.

• Regarding Zork Anthology:
-What about the manuals for Planetfall, Zork 2 and Zork 3? Are they included at least in the install folder?
-Which map (out of the 6 that should be included, but only 5 are) is missing? Is it the one of Planetfall? Regardless of that, is the missing map included in the install folder of its corresponding game?
-Are the other extras of Planetfall (e.g. map, letter/diary etc.) included in its install folder?

Since I'm here, I might as well post some stuff myself:
I should have made a dedicated thread to my gogmix earlier on, but I wasn't really certain of what I should post in there, so thank goodness ZFR made it -hope you won't mind me using this thread whenever necessary.
------
Anyways, I'll first post about some criteria I use in order to include manuals in the gogmix itself -because gog only gives me a 250 character limit (including spaces) for each entry so I cannot possibly include everything.
The criteria:
->The material I give links to has to include explanations regarding the gameplay (be it actual instructions, controls or even characters or items list -anything pertaining to the actual game).
This excludes installation guides. Although these are outdated by virtue of gog installing the games in a different manner, I'd love to add them for the historical aspect, but then people visiting the gogmix or MaGog (which shows my gogmix amongst the search results) aren't going to be helped much from those and there's also a point afaik when my gogmix will get a 2nd page and I have no idea how people and MaGog will access that page then, so I'd rather avoid filling space thusly. And this might also exclude other extra stuff that also don't help much gamers by themselves (e.g letters included in manuals without the rest of the manual). You are however invited to post anything like these in this here thread (as there's no character or page limit here).
-> I also try to avoid manuals for other platforms whenever possible, because differences are bound to exist, especially between pc and console versions (regarding the controls at the very least, but some gameplay aspects might also change from platform to platform). For old games this means I prefer DOS manuals and I might link to Amiga or Atari ST manuals if the gameplay and controls seem similar enough with DOS.
-------
Secondly I'd like to ask people about something else I've been thinking about. You might have noticed that several manuals I link to are hosted in sites such as pdf archive. This happens for 2 reasons:
-If the original link hosting the manuals gave them as locked pdfs. Most locked pdfs I've thusly encountered so far allow in terms of permissions printing but not much else and I figured that unlocking the pdfs myself and providing the links to the unlocked pdfs would be better. It would be good if you let me know whether you mind locked pdfs or not, just so I know for the future.
-2nd reason: If said pdfs were hosted on sites that would seem suspicious to some people (e.g. Mediafire, mega.co.nz and other sites that from their look wouldn't inspire trust to the onlooker). In that case, I scanned the pdfs via Virus Total (making sure they don't have viruses and stuff) and then uploaded them to the pdf archive. Do let me know in case you don't mind such sites (kind of improbable, but doesn't hurt to ask).
---------
Third and more importantly, follows a list of a couple games that I know for sure they have manuals but I don't have a link to these for whatever reason:
-Raven Legacy of a Master Thief: I know for certain that this one has a manual because I own its retail version (I haven't played it yet, but that's another story...) However, owning the printed manual is one thing and scanning it and uploading it wherever is another -its the scanning part the tough one because I don't own a scanner. I should probably try and scan it some time or another though... Just so you know (and now that I'm commited to that in written format that might make it harder for me to forget to do so...)
-Deponia 3-Goodbye Deponia: As far I recall, the German Steam page shows a "Handbuch anzeigen" link -no other language of the same page shows that afaik. But when I (who live in Cyprus) press this link, I only end up getting redirected to the main page. I'd thus highly appreciate if someone living in Germany could check that out and give me the actual link to the pdf of the manual. Thanks in advance for any help. - Done by moonshineshadow (look below)

-----
Anyways, that's it for now, hope I didn't tire you. I might post more data/ insight on my research for manuals later on, as I recall further stuff...

Thanks a lot for providing the link! I had thought it'd be only accessible from Germany for some reason, forgetting the other German-speaking areas (quite an oversight in retrospect, but anyways...). I tried replacing the "German" part in the url with "English","French" etc but indeed the manual is apparently German-only. I'm still linking to it though, since I already have the precedent of having linked to French-only manuals, plus this one has selectable text, so whoever wants can put the text into Google Translate or something... Thanks again! :D

Thanks. I had no idea your GOGmix existed before I started this. All I found was a GOGmix with a thread that hasn't been updated since 2013.

That's good criteria. Otherwise I might end up including stuff like warranty cards or registration forms. So I will exclude booklets if all they contain is information that is no longer relevant to today's gamer (DOS installation instructions, outdated technical support... etc), but will keep them if they contain additional content, even if it's a storyline blurb, or interesting illustrations. With that in mind, I've removed Crusaders of Might and Magic installation guide. The other ones I included do contain relevant information.
I will however include links to manuals for other platforms, if no PC version is available. Also links to content from the manual like the letters for Heroes Chronicles. There is no character limit here, so it doesn't hurt.

This is a bit more work than I expected, so please bear with me. I'll sit to update this whenever I have more time to spare.

For the time being I'll only include English ones, but as soon as I'm done with them I'll start on other languages too.

I've also included some links to Dropbox for this reason. This is my own Dropbox account, and I've uploaded there in if I can't find the original one, or it's on other sites that don't look trustworthy or similar. Dropbox itself is reputable and uses no ads, but if anyone has a problem with hosting there, let me know.
