Does anyone have a copy of the Amiga Darkseed manual?
« on: May 11, 2013, 02:34:14 AM »
That they might be able to scan in for me? I seem to have lost mine (but I still have the floppies) and it's needed for the copy-protection - I've looked around online but the only scans I've been able to find are from the CD version which has different formatting so the page numbers are out.

I've found French and German versions of the original manual but there doesn't seem to be an English Amiga (or DOS) one anywhere.

Thanks!! :)

I might have it somewhere at my parent's house but I can't promise I'll be there any time soon.  If no one else manages to sort something out before then I'll see what I can do.

Would this help?


Thanks, but the Lemon Amiga manual doesn't have the page numbers so it's no good for the Darkseed copy protection and the Gamebase one is from the CD version (different formatting so it doesn't work for the Amiga disk version).

The original disk release had a plain black-cover 'Background Manual' - not the one with the 'Li' art.

It just occurred to me but assuming that you're running Dark Seed from a hard drive equipped system, you could use the WHDLoad installer which should patch the game to remove the need for copy protection.

Sadly my old A500 never got a hard disk :)

Thanks for the tip though!

Dug out my copy but don't have the ability to scan it right now.  I may type it up if I make time.

On a side note I know a girl who's quite a big fan of Giger.  She had a tattoo of a face like the one on the Darkseed box on the top of one arm and a full rib cage and spine tattooed on her back.  I bet that's scared the **** out of a few guys who've woken up next to her.
She also met Giger at a convention, got him to sign her forearm and promptly got it tattoed.  Been a good few years since I last saw her so I don't know if she's got any more.

Rob,
 
I can scan it and return if you are willing to loan it.
