This is awesome!

Anthony817, what are we missing for the Half-Life Information besides a scan of the Guide Book? Aren't we also missing the manual that was never uploaded?

The manual was never scanned I think, nor the guide book, but I had a LONG talk with the guy that gave me most of teh new scans, and he said that the prima guide book is EXACTLY the same as the PC book, only thing diff is the pictures, but the walkthrough is the same.

Well, what I know we need is a CVG mag that has a picture of Laura Croft on the front cover, and has a hands on review of the game, and the ones that 3style has listed he owns. As he scans them I will just collect the reviews/previews from them and add them here too.
Dreamcast Magazine Issue 9 (UK):
> Half Life newscast (1 page)

Dreamcast Magazine Issue 11 (UK):
> Half Life newscast (2 pages game: 40% complete)

Dreamcast Magazine Issue 15 (UK):
> Half Life feature (3 pages score 81%)

DCUK Issue 14:
> Half Life preview (4 pages)

DCUK Issue 16:
> Half Life review (6 pages score 9)
We need to get this scanned too.

And an issue of gamepro that a guy said he could scan for me with a hands on review.

As of right now, that is all I can really think of off the top of my head. I knew I should have updated this thread like I did to the other sites so you could know about all this sooner, but I wanted to have more complete scans to show everybody and have it more presentable.

Yeah, and it cost $75. You buy it and scan it and that would be great. :P I heard that it is the same thing as the PC walkthrough, only thing changed is some pictures. :/

Yeah, but a nice pdf clean version would be a nice addition to the collection.

Ok, I added the French ODCM Hands on review and Super Game Power Brasil preview. Hope you enjoy!

Updated the download package with all the new full sized scans too.
