Boy... I sure don't know the answer(s) to that. Both the game and the manual are 'put away'... so I am going from memory. The manual is a nice one, spiral bound, with a solid, glossy cover. I have no idea at all about how it compares with anything else.

Obviously, the Game CD is just that, in a jewel case. I did load the thing up to make sure it ran on the XP system... which it did for me, just fine... no 'compatibility mode' needed. It looks alright, although not nearly as 'sharp' as Dangerous Waters. On the other hand that Dangerous Waters 500+ page manual is a tough nut to crack, for me. In fact, I'm betting I never DO 'play' D/W... 'cuz I'm just too damned old to fight a Game and Manual that are so hard to manage. Thus... 688i. NICE manual. Chapter Five is a really good tutorial mission...

Whatever is fun, eh, Mate ??
