Hello,

I purchased and downloaded the Railroads but it didn't come with the instruction manual. Where would I get a PDF copy of it?

Thanks

Since I didn't see a Railroads! manual in .pdf format available for download from either Firaxis or 2K Games, I would say your best course of action would be to request it from wherever it was you purchased the game.

There are *other* places you can get one, but due to the likelihood of copyright infringement I don't believe it is permissible to post links to them on this forum. All I am going to suggest is to Google for it and let your conscience be your guide.

If you live in the U.S., you might like to know that GoGamer is featuring Railroads! for $5.90 (http://www.gogamer.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=6386529&extid=March0509).

The sale ends soon so don't delay.

I live in Canada and I purchased the game from the EB Games website. They can't get me a manual. Then I emailed Firaxis support, they said to contact the company I purchased the game.

What a . .. .. .. .ing joke this is.

Sorry to hear of your tough luck. I would have thought there would at least have been a .pdf manual included with the game you downloaded from EB.

Getting a printed paper manual is one of the reasons why I buy retail boxed versions of games instead of game downloads.

Yeah, and I understand why it difficult because of the piracy issues and people downloading games for free.

I always want to buy the game in store in a box but I was told it was discontinued when I went to Game Stop.

Oh well. I'll try and learn it on my own. It would be nice if the game had an area when you could go and get info like the Civ games.

Anyone who bought this game as I did through TryMedia won't get a manual and won't get any help at all from TryMedia (and so far no help from Take Two either). However, you can get the pdf version on Steam.

I found one and was going to post it. It seems legit, but you offer good advice. So yes, there are *other* places a PDF can be obtained. If you're really old school though, Amazon sells copies in paperback.

There is a great WIKI on the game that a bunch of us fans put together for modifying Sid Meyer's Railroads including basic how-to play mechanics at Bobby's fan page for Sid Meiers Railroads! (http://eric.bkbobby.com/media/index.php?title=Main_Page)
