circuit's edge manual

lotek, it's great to see you again. You are a valuable part of the site's history and membership and I am glad you came back to let us know how it all went.

I do intend to finish The Circuit's Edge at some point. I think it holds up wonderfully and is very playable. Something I think gog.com would be advised to get the license for.

Hey everyone!

Yeah, I know, call me necromancer, but since I was the one who started this thread, I thought it would be nice to also give it some closure.

This was actually a funny and nostalgic thing... yesterday I decided to try again to finish Circuit's Edge, then I started to look for the manual online, then I heard a little voice in my head: "you've been through this before, haven't you?"

So I look at the 2nd hit for the google search on "circuit's edge manual scan" and the whole thing comes back! And the manual is actually scanned! Thanks a lot to everyone involved!

And so, 15 years after the original promise, I declare this case closed. Jonsey is forgiven and his soul is saved.

Thanks, I am an asshole for not finishing it. But I am glad it is up!

That is awesome. I might just go play through the game again now.

This is back on my list. I have a three day weekend, will try to scan the last few pages and assemble them into a PDF.

I have started the scanning. I will sit here and scan the rest of the pages and not stop until they are finished. I am not sure what the best way to go from .bmp to a PDF is, but I will figure it out.

Thank you for your patience. I am sorry it took so long.

I'm on it, I'm on it. It's like how I was telling Ben - I forget about this stuff when I get to work, and then I forget about it when I come home. That manual WILL be scanned.

Guess Jonsey isn't going to reply?

by **RetroRomper** » Thu Nov 08, 2012 8:12 am

Think Jonsey's frame of mind changed somewhere between September and late October...

We both expected to have the tribute page with the manual up much sooner than the end of this year though.

Could someone point me in the direction of that fine Circuit's Edge manual that Jonsey scanned couple months ago. Seem to have trouble locating it. Thank you.

I am so sick of stuff hanging over my head. Wednesday night I will scan the manual. I apologize for not having my life in order to where I could have already done this.

by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Thu Aug 30, 2012 7:44 am

Yes, that is a fine page and the best resource on the Internet. Our goal will be to top it. Our goal will be to make that guy.... well, go, "Thanks, it only took the Internet 10 years to top something I threw together in an evening." But still!

And then we will thank that guy profusely.

I am already a-tingle. I am going to edit the Wikipedia page for The Circuit's Edge with a link to that page, so we can then put in there for ours.

by **RetroRomper** » Thu Aug 30, 2012 1:03 am

I think we can do better? I'm creating gifs and quoting the book the game is based on, so I imagine our page will have a bit more of a literary edge.

by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Wed Aug 29, 2012 11:38 pm

Here is the best fan page I know of.

(You have to scroll down to see stuff. This drove me crazy at first.)

I am also excited to actually finish The Circuit's Edge. I got 20 years of fun out of the game. It is time I saw the ending.

by **RetroRomper** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:43 pm

Finished When Gravity Fails (and snagged a few quotes for the tribute page) and spent an hour configuring DOS-Box to properly run Circuit's Edge: will play through the game soon and write the normal range of bios, profiles, etc. as I do.

by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:30 pm

I fixed the toilet.

I put Roody's PC in my car.

We're gonna ship that mother at the UPS Store tomorrow and have the manual scanned afterwards.

by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Tue Aug 21, 2012 11:59 am

Every god damn day and night, my time is booked up with shit. I apologize to the Internet at large. I WILL scan this booklet. I WILL make a tribute site with Retro. I WILL solve the game.

Marid would want it that way.
