Remastered Sierra Game Manuals

[Charles]

So a number of years back (probably over ten years by this point), I started an attempt at remastering all the old sierra game manuals. I only got as far as the King's Quest series before life took over and my enthusiasm petered out.

I thought it was time I shared my efforts.  Here's the King's Quest 5 documentation, in the best quality you've ever seen.
If there's an interest, I can share my others. I have KQ1-6, and the map from QFG2.

I will never get over what happened on page 12.

Wow, this is very beautiful. I'm very interested.

King's Quest 6.

Whereas in the King's Quest 5 one I recreated all the text by identifying (or mimicking) the exact font and kerning used, this one is full page scans, cleaned up and aligned as best as I could.
It's also a very large file because of it, to preserve as much quality as I could.

I wasn't entirely successful in removing the staple wrinkles.

Here is the PDF of the guidebook I made years ago. http://sierrahelp.com/Documents/Misc/Kings_Quest_VI_-_Guidebook_to_the_Land_of_the_Green_Isles.pdf

Here are King's Quest 1, 2, 3 and 4.

All the beauty of the period manuals comes out with the restoration. I look forward to seeing your QFG2 map!

QFG2 Map
This is 300dpi. I originally scanned it in at 1200dpi, but that file is a 1GB tif.

The map is very beautiful, the restoration work is very fine.
Thank you very much Charles!
