PS1 Doom Manual? (NOT Final Doom)

[YouAreTheDemons]

Does anyone happen to have any scans/a PDF of PSX Doom's manual? I've tried looking around for it, but all I can find is PSX Final Doom's manual (and that doesn't even have the enemies for Christ's sake!)

couldn't find anything on it either I wonder why its obscured

I do have the complete longbox design of PSX Doom - perhaps I can look into scanning the manual later, if I can find a way to connect our old scanner to my desktop.

I have it also, but no way of scanning it. If you can get ahold of it, we should submit it to the Internet Archive's manual collection.

if you need a scanner that works on the cheap, canon's lide series is reliable and gets the job done in my experience. i've done some archival scans with a lide300. just be ready to disassemble any manual for a decent scan.

Good suggestion on the Internet Archive; I just finished uploading all the scans for the long box manual here: https://archive.org/details/doompsx020

 

Forgive me if the job is a bit shoddy in places; the manual's falling apart as it is, and I re-adjusted and cropped as I saw fit.

Quite the solid scan from the look of it! I'm no scanning/preservation expert, but everything seems quite clear and legible to me.

 

Was it really just a variant of the SNES manual though? I don't really remember it being like that, but I had the jewel case/Greatest Hits version. And admittedly I'm struggling to remember that manual too...

I don't know about the SNES manual - I only scanned the long box version of the PSX manual I have exactly as-is, front to back.

That one is available online, thankfully.

In a lot of ways, the PSX version is pretty much just a downgraded version of that (though of course, it adds in the Doom II stuff, Nightmare Spectre, etc.)
