Does anyone know where I might find a scanned copy of the Duke Nukem Total Meltdown instruction Manual? I found one using Google, but it was in French.

I used to have a copy of it in pdf form, but that was a couple years ago.

I have a physical copy of the PAL version, but don't have a scanner.

[Hendricks266]

I have a physical copy of the US version. Is there something in particular you're looking for it in or do you just want the scan? I don't have access to what I would consider a quality enough scanner for any kind of preservation work.

[DNSKILL5]

I could've sworn someone had scanned it as well as the guidebook. Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

I have the manual somewhere, and could probably scan it the ghetto way, as in take good pictures of each page.

Either way if someone could do it that would be great, because the PC manual is scanned and whatnot. It would be great for archival purposes.

[OpenMaw]

Yeah, it's pretty much to have it back in my archives. Even a "ghetto" version of the thing would be good. If anyone wants to take a stab at it, that would be greatly appreciated.


BTW, Tristan, where the F*CK did your avatar come from? That's badass.

[Jblade]

why does Duke look like he's jerking off an invisible dick in that picture

[HulkNukem]

That has to be the goofiest looking Duke I've ever seen.

I'll take my copy (PAL version) in to work tomorrow and scan it in. Hopefully the quality will be alright. Stay tuned.

Can someone scan the exclusive strategy guides of the PSX and 64 versions? These would be more interesting.

[Hendricks266]

Didn't Lunick already do that to get us the overhead maps of the maps, pre-Nukey?

[Lunick]

I only did the maps, not the whole guide. I don't have access to scanning stuff anymore though.

[Malgon]

So after a bit of mucking around at work today I managed to scan the instruction manual. I've uploaded two copies, the full quality (19.9MB) original scan and a smaller reduced quality (2.1MB) copy. Hopefully they will do the job nicely and be of decent enough quality. Enjoy!

I can't download with Mega, can you upload it somewhere else? I found a workaround. Still this put Mega on my blacklist.

[Lunick]

Too bad you don't live just a little closer to me Malgon, I'd give you my stuff to scan

You just need to have the MEGA plugin and it will download it through your browser. Pretty fast way of downloading even though I don't use MEGA very often.

[Malgon]

Sorry about the problems Fox, I'm not too sure what sites are any good for uploading files and was unaware of any plugins being needed. My browser must have downloaded what it needed to work. Glad you got it sorted out though. If anyone has a recommendation as to a better site I can put them there if it is easier.

Give it your best throw Lunick, it might make it across the water!

Seriously though, let me know what you have that you might like scanned as I could have some of the same stuff. I'm sure I have the two guides that Fox mentioned, so I probably could scan them as well. I'd likely have to go in to work on the weekend when I've got plenty of time to do it though, that is of course if it's cool to be scanning any of this stuff. What do you guys think about being allowed to scan any of this stuff?

Awesomesauce! Thank you! Very crisp scan.

[Malgon]

Thanks man, I'm glad that the quality turned out fairly decent.

Sorry for the bump but it appears the links are no longer valid and I can't find the manual anywhere else.

I've just had a look and for whatever reason I haven't got a copy of the files here at home, but fortunately I do still have copies at work. If you're happy to wait until I'm back there in a couple of weeks then I can do a reupload for you, just let me know where's the easiest/best place to upload the files.

Ps. And maybe I'll save some copies here for myself!

Yeah, I can wait. Thanks!

As for the best place, I'm not entirely sure yet. This is part of my ongoing quest for DN3D-related supplemental material.

Hey Ninety-Six, same as before I've uploaded a full quality (19.9MB) original scan and a smaller reduced quality (2.1MB) copy. Mind you these are only up for 30 days, so if there's any problems with downloading or a better site then I can upload again, although it looks like with your other thread you may have somewhere already to archive them for easy access (looks like Nightfright updated the HRP page with the other scans of manuals). Anyway, thanks for waiting!

Thank you kindly! The collection is almost complete, now.

Thanks for putting that one up, I had never seen it, and it's actually pretty great. The 'Who Is Duke Nukem?' section just had me rolling.

[Fox]

We need scans of these exclusive strategy guides
