MrFlibble Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The "dick" was another obvious text recognition fail. For more sexual innuendo, there's a perfectly legit "erection" in the MCV description too :PIt's not funny if it didn't appear by mistake there :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It came from the desert Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Any chance of giving the manual a nice sandy hue/filter or anything? The pages on the copy I used (lost in time sadly, UFO manual too and all the other greats) to own certainly weren't such a bright white colour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Actually, that's a pretty good idea :) BTW, do you mean you had a coloured manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It came from the desert Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Actually, that's a pretty good idea :) BTW, do you mean you had a coloured manual?Eh, most likely just a grayscale thing. But even something like that has character!IIRC the first time around playing Dune II I didn't receive a manual to go with the possibly-not-legal floppy copy gifted to me for the Amiga. But later on I once picked up this thing when the family comp got switched to a PC (the first thing on the list) http://www.strategycore.co.uk/databank/series/x-com/game-compilations/Dangit, I have to go visit the old folks now and ask if they really did what I told them to do and throw all my stuff in the thrash. Hadn't heard of Dosbox or any kind of emulation really back when I first moved out so didn't even think old stuff would work on new computers! I'm so mad at myself, that stuff looks so awesome now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) tbh I have no idea how to do such a thing... getting schooled to be a programmer means they don't bother us with mundane stuff like the advanced uses of MS Word. My own (German) Dune II manual doesn't have anything like that though, and neither does the scanned English PDF version I got on my hard disk. Besides the cover, it's just pure black and white.

dynasty Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Great work! Just a few typos. - Concrete Slab: weight should be "1,469 kg".- Quad: the A in Armour isn't in the bold font.- Fremen: Armament says "Assault riffle". Could you also fix up the PDF link on the OP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
