Tombstone City manual (pdf)

[Space Centurion]

Hi all, does anyone have a PDF copy of the manual for Tombstone City? I've been searching the net for one, and I just can't locate it.

Thanks.

Interestingly, Tombstone City is available in two versions:

 

- GPL version in cartridge

- Assembly language version on Disk B of the Editor/Assembler package.

 

I remember I did not notice any difference in gameplay.

TI99IUC: thanks for the super quick reply and post. It really helped. It explains why I've been playing for a half hour clearing the screens, and the day would not change. :-) Now I know!

 

Are there any Tombstone experts out there? I have a question, I was reading that there is a "dragging tactic", but never could get that to work. Not that I've tried too hard either.

There is some good reading about the game (and the mention of dragging) here:

Interesting enough, as read from the above link, the original title was Saguaro City, and the Morgs turned into crosses instead of cacti. TI made the programmer change the crosses to Saguaro cacti, but changed the title to Tombstone City: of the 21st Century to cover the Western and Alien conflict. :-)

TI99IUC: thanks [...]

 

Happy you solved

 

in the meantime I cleaned and optimized the scan, I also took advantage of your request to work the other versions of this manual:

The side-by-side English-French manuals are probably the hardest ones to find. I have several different ones, but it is always nice to see them show up elsewhere. . .

On page 5 there is a note about a limited time period, after which the computer must be reset.

 

Was the manual written after a bug was found in the released module? This seems very peculiar.

There have been two Product numbers for the classic US PHM 3052 Manuals:

1037109-52

and

1037109-152

The initial "1" was always added when they did a fix/change in the manual.

 

I think the 152 version was coming with E/A in this case.

Does anyone has the new styled cover (2nd picture from left) manual 1053590-52 with the fix/change integrated?

 

Anyone has the new styled cover manual for Europe? This should be 1103035-0200 in contrast to 1103035-0000 being the classic (most right).

Actually, the side-by side ones were only made for Canada, so far as I've been able to tell. later multilingual European modules had a single picture and bilingual text on the cover. I am pretty sure I have one of those for Tombstone City. . .
