Fallout Manual/Sites

With the local Kmart going out of business, I was able to buy the dual set of Fallout & Fallout II for a whole 10% off the list price, making a mighty $8 dent in my wallet. However, like most any jewel case only game, there’s no manual. No problem, except the usual copy on the manual in Acrobat format, or MS Works or .txt or even a bunch of scans of the manual in .bmp format is nonexistant as well.

I know there’s some Fallout fans on here so does anyone know of a place to find the manual on the web? I’ve tried doing a search, but all the sites I’ve seen look like spoiler sites and walk-throughs and I don’t want the game spoiled for me. It looks like it could be pretty cool (nice intro!) but I’d like to know what I’m doing. Even general tips are fine, I just don’t want the plot revealed to me or “at spot X do action Y”. So far my entire career has been making a character (half guessing how to assign points and half drawing from my knowledge of other games), killing some rats after a bit of fumbling, finding the map thingie to Vault 15 and then it sort of auto-traveled me there where I was promptly jumped by four scorpions who killed me. Yay, me :smiley:

Granted, I have both games with the manuals (mmm, physical documentation…), so perhaps we have different versions. But for both games, there’s a folder named “manual” on the CD that has the entire manual cover to cover in .pdf. I’d be happy to send them to you if for some reason you don’t have them.

Prepare to lose some sleep, friend, because both of those are addictive.

You know, I combed through the installed folders but never checked the physical CD itself (doh!). I would have assumed the manual would be one of the things installed. I’ll have to give that a look. Thanks!

Fallout 2 is the greatest gaming experience I have ever had

i couldnt find the manual for fall out and i couldnt find it on the web unless it was total walkthrough

but theres a folder on file thats the manual thats a scanned version of the normal one
A e-mail to interplay didnt help matters as they send back canned tech support

But isnt it stupid that the instructions didnt install with the game ?
