Hi,

I think I still have a copy of the manual (and game) - when I get home tonight I'll look. If it's there I'll see about getting it copied and then turned into a PDF file so I could email it to you.

Will that work?

B


PS - I think TF-1942 has to run on DOS

Well the graphics are most definately dated by now - look at the warships in IL-2!

But TF 1942 had different graphic settings, and turned to highest setting it wasn't bad - even better than Fighting Steel IMO (so long as you don't absolutely have to have camo!).

And, the entire Solomon Islands were rendered in 3-d, so when you were near any coastline - the land and shore was where it should be and the basic hills were where they should be too...just don't expect grass huts and palm trees![:D]

Przem

Could you sen it to me? I have the original disks, but dmaged[:(]

I can scan and send you the hotkeys, but not the manual since it is missing too.

Are you interested in the ship IDs?

It runs under DOS only - but I think there are DOS emulators out there that will let it run....

Przemcio231,

I am mortified to report back, that after a thorough search - I cannot find TF 1942 anywhere, so I cannot find the manual for you either....
I am afraid the house nomes made off with it[:(]

Sorry,
B

I've been looking for my copy of this game ever since this discussion came up, but have not been able to locate it yet. I've moved several times, but I am pretty sure that I still have it in a box somewhere. I'll let you know when I can finally locate it and see about getting that manual to you.

Honest to gosh, the only "important" things I recall about the manual, were the pics of the destroyers which were needed to get past the "security screen"..(Remember those!!!!)..[:)]
