Part of the updates to Abandonware DOS consists in adding every kind of document I can get without copyright notices. I already added lots of manuals, walkthroughs (expecially interactive fiction solutions) and a few maps.

Recently, I started digging into the zip files of every games in search for useful readme files. Many of you may not know what a readme file is. Developers used to include a txt files usually called "readme.txt" in older games or applications, in a time before the birth of the internet. Readme files included last minute fixes to already printed manuals (printed on PAPER!), installation instructions, etc.

Here are some manuals:

• Terminal Terror
• SimCity Classic
• Caesar
• War in Middle Earth
• Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2
• Balance of Power

Here's a few readme files:

• Dungeon Master 2 readme
• Albion readme
• Heretic readme file
• Star Trek Starfleet Command readme
• Warcraft readme

And, finally, a few walkthroughs:

• Space Quest walkthrough
• Leisure Suit Larry walkthrough
• Dune walkthrough
• Ultima 7 Part 1 solution
