Also, the Turok entry in the GOGmix mentions the manual is for the "original 1997 version". Is the GOG version different? The store page mentions 1997 as release date.

Content-wise it's the same game, but the developers used the game's source code in order to implement various improvements such as support for modern systems, various visual enhancements (high resolution, widescreen, dynamic lightning, etc.), achievements, ability to rebind keys and the improved soundtrack from the N64 version. As a result, there is some disparity with the things mentioned in the manual (such as requirements and the options menu).

Is it the remastered version mentioned on Wikipedia? "The remaster was released in digital stores on December 17, 2015." I'm asking because the store page doesn't mention anything about it being remastered?

Yes, it is.

It does say so in the description:

Turok is back and no dinosaur is safe!
When it was first released in 1997, Turok introduced gamers to a world teeming with cunning enemies, traps, puzzles and deadly weapons all within a vast 3D environment ready to explore. Now the classic game has been restored and enhanced with a new visual engine and exciting new features to sink your teeth into!

New features include:
- Support for high resolutions, and widescreen
- Improved gameplay and level design
- OpenGL for video backend to provide portability and support for vertical sync
- Dynamic lighting, bloom, FXAA, enhanced water effects, lights shafts and more
- Ability to freely rebind all keyboard, mouse, and gamepad inputs


As for why the release date mentioned in the storepage is the original version's, I guess it's Night Dive's wish, as the game has a similar release date on Steam (November 1997).

Not sure what manual comes with the game here, since I don't own it on GOG, but if you have anything that is not included, then by all means post it. I suppose the Rayman forums would be the best place for it. I suppose the ones you have are non-English versions? I'm pretty sure someone will find them useful. If you have any additional English manuals that are not there, I'll add them to the list.

Well, as extra to download there is only an English manual. No clue if there are more once downloaded and installed. I mean, this is a strange game in general, since for example the gamecard does not list German/Italian/Spanish as languages, but I am pretty sure that you can change the language to them when you launch the game.

The newly-released Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear is missing its manuals. Thankfully, all three can be downloaded from here: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/49871/get-your-siege-of-dragonspear-manuals-here

Thanks!

Sorry, I'm a bit busy the next few days, but I'll get back to updating the list as soon as I have time.

ZFR: Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition
• Missing Mastering Melee and Magic manual. Replacement available here or by getting Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition(!) on GOG.
An update regarding this. It seems that both manuals are also available in the game's installation folder.

No such luck with Baldur's Gate 2 Enhanced, which still comes with the wrong manual even in the installation folder! :P

Thanks for letting me know again! Updated the relevant entry accordingly.
The Zork Anthology seems to have some content missing. In the extras are included the manuals for Beyond Zork and Zork Zero and both of those are from Infocom Documentation Project (http://infodoc.plover.net/), as this post states. A later post states that Zork 1 has a manual in its install folder and start menu. So the manuals for Planetfall, Zork 2 and Zork 3 seem to be missing but they might be in the install folder. Regarding the other extras, there are only 5 maps while the anthology has been unbundled into 6 games, so a map is missing-possibly the one of Planetfall. The other extras/feelies seem to be mostly complete for the Zork games, but those of Planetfall (at least a manual, a map and a letter/diary judging from here) seem to be missing-they might be in the install folder though...

In short, here are my questions to anyone that owns the Zork Anthology (I don't):
-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?

Thanks. I will update the list as soon as I can, in the meantime, I've added the above to the questions list on the first page.
A slight update: Industry Giant 2 just got its manuals added, so I removed it from the gogmix. There are also however a bunch of extras that used to be available in Jowood's website and can still be downloaded via Wayback Machine.

link: https://web.archive.org/web/20080621062804/http://ig2.jowood.com/main.php?rid=701&lang=en

List of stuff on the link:
-IG II Fansite Kit
-IG II Level Editor
-Product Charts
-Product Lists
-(even a winamp skin for whomever still uses winamp...)

Let me know if this stuff looks useful (especially regarding the product charts + list) because I'm not certain whether I should put links to these in the gogmix or not....
