User's Manual: Classic.
By †Captain†Alister†
So this is exciting, they made a remastered edition. With controller support! The game can now be played with a more modern game-play, or you can play the game in the classic controller style as well. However when I bought this remastered version, I didn't see it come with a User's Manual. As with the older version, it did. (I'm hopeful that might change. But who knows, maybe I missed it somewhere.) I'll provide the link that I have, and hope it works for you all, as it does for me. And if not, I'll have all the pages listed below.


The below link is what was provided to me, from when I bought the older version of the game.
Just keep that in mind. It's not for this remastered edition, I thought it'd be
nice to share a little more of the game with everyone.


Update:

If you're looking for Man-well inside the Remastered version of the game. Just look inside the game's install folder. It can be found there as a .PDF file. Found here: ( Steam\steamapps\common\Shadow Man Remastered ) & inside that folder you'll find both the Comic folder that will let you read the ShadowMan Comic. And a folder called Bonus Content. Where you can find the Map for the game, the Steam Avatar for your profile, the Strategy Guide and a quick reference card for user controls. The only thing not there are both of the Soundtrack (Alternative) & Soundtrack for the game. If you were lucky enough to buy the older copy of the game you can find everything mentioned here and those OSTs in the game's install location as well.

Have fun everyone!

man i love this game i bought on pc in 1999 had to buy a video card to play it. it was a hercules 32mb card. this was probably the best game i ever played (toss up between this and legacy of kain soul reaver) i also played it on ps and dreamcast over the years. the remastered version is awesome with the new levels an textures etc. and runs perfectly on the steam deck. looking at the manual really takes me back ty

Agreed haha, Guts Rage is a bit of a through back for sure friend. I can't wait to beat ShadowMan though. I've even noticed the game has been getting patch updates too. It's exciting just thinking about!

Wow! Talk about bringing up old filed away memories! I played that game too, MASSIVE sword.
I would never have thought about that had you not mentioned it. Amazing.
Yeah that game was, I would say good and crazy. Not a classic like Shadowman. :genki:

Oh I believe it, for sure friend. And thank you. Unfortunately for me I never really had much of a chance to play the Dreamcast. I did however get to play Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage on the Dreamcast. But that was about as far as my exp goes with that game system. I will agree, it was ahead of it's time for sure. :praisesun:

That's the manual I have. Dreamcast was said to be the best version, not surprising, it was close to the PS2, and far better than N64. A shame bad management led to it's early demise. The hardware was actually somewhat beyond it's time. The makers of Shadowman took the excellent step of coding seperately for the Dreamcast.

They even had reflections, and water looked amazing for the time.

In CD holder manuals, especially like the Shadowman one which gives nothing away, but explains all the back ground needed to understand the game from beginning.
I hope other players see your guide. That manual is great!

P.S. Due to marketing strategy, the Dreamcast sold only 5 million units in the USA.
They focused purely on the Japanese market, but at that time Japanese generally associated console only with PS. With the exception of N64. It sold terribly here. But it could have given the PS2 a run for it's money, but it was too late then. A shame.

You're most welcome! Friend, when I noticed the remastered game didn't have this and the old store page was taken down. I had to jump on this and share what I had. I agree having these are amazing. I'm glad you can enjoy the upload.

I've gotta say I didn't know Shadow Man released on the Dreamcast, I bet that's gotta be exciting to play on the Dreamcast though huh? Very cool. :STBHand:

Thank you. I still have the Dreamcast one. Thing is It's in storage and would take me ages to find it.
So this is great! The manual does a great job of explaining the background lore and the characters. I had forgotten how good and detailed some old games manuals were, packed with the disk. Shadowman is one of the best written 2 decades ago.

That's the one thing we lost with digital downloads - no hardcopy, detailed manual.

Much appreciated, thanks again. :steamthumbsup:

You're most welcome friend. That is pretty cool you've still got the original game on PS1 still too.
