----------------------------
003- Where can I find hints, docs, pics, and othe game information?
Several of the larger game archives offer docs, hints, cheats, and walkthroughs.
Fewer go into copy deprotection and copying.
You can find screen shot and game box pics-- great for making disk labels-- on
some sites; but, no single archive or web page offers anything like a comprehensive
selection.
Author, publisher, and historical information is relatively rare. One site, The
Giant List, does a good job listing game authors along with their games, publishers,
and dates.
If a game or series has its own web site, this will often be the best place to
look for docs, support materials, pictures, and author/publisher info. Good examples
are sites for Ultima, Bard's Tale, Infocom games, and the games published by
Penguin/PolarWare.
