Sierra's Manhunter: New York -- 'Busted'   by Pirates R US BBS

=============================================================================== Sierra's MANHUNTER: NEW YORK -- 'BUSTED' 09/24/1988 by PIRATES-R-US =============================================================================== Sierra's MANHUNTER: NEW YORK is a great graphics adventure that is copy- protected only in the sense that it asks for a random word to be looked-up in the original manual before you can play... This requires both the manual, and the effort to search for the word it wants (eg: "enter the sixth word of the second paragraph on page eleven")... What this is is a bunch of crap! When I want to play a game, I DON'T want to spend time digging out the otherwise useless manual just to look-up some stupid word which the damn thing already knows! (Or else it couldn't tell me if I type in the wrong one or not!) So, what we need is a simple 'patch' to bypass the 'Enter_A_Manual_Word' scenero from the game completely... Well, the companion batch file we developed here at the "PIRATES-R-US" crow's nest does just that! One simple word of caution is, as always, be sure to run it on a backup copy just in case Sierra releases differing versions of the program. (For your information, the only file that is affected is "MHVOL.1", and only 3 bytes of it needed to be altered!) To proceed, insure you have "MHVOL.1" in the current directory and a path to "DEBUG.COM", then run the batch file: "FIX-MAN.BAT" That's all there is to it... The manual is never needed again! If only all 'busts' could be so simple and work so well... Have fun and good MANHUNTING...
