What the Cleaning of the Old Manuals Produced
As part of my therapy for hoardism, I assigned myself the cleaning of the old documentation. Normally, the cleaning of the old documentation would be a tedious and fruitless exercise. However, I stumbled upon a little treasure of years gone by. In 1990, Monty Python licensed a video game ( that you can downloaded here). This game was a side-scrolling good time in which you play DP Gumby as you try to find parts of your brain whilst shooting fish from your hand toward your enemies.
Apparently I'm so much of a hoarding bastard, I kept the little game's little manual and crammed it in a time capsule, set for the 2010 post-apocalyptic landscape. When it appeared it begged me to scan it so the rest of the world could also waste several hours reading random, meaningless drivel that will become the next inside joke at hipster parties.

The "page 21" joke has to be a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which makes the joke even funnier (for those who understand the reference).
Also, the 'Lumberj…" reference is too funny. I get that one, too.
I am old.

Thank you SO much for putting this online. I've been searching for this for YEARS. I last 'read' it in the late '90s after selling my old Amiga computer.
Great stuff – lots of funny memories. Especially page 17 – FAT!

No problem at all. I'm glad you enjoyed finding it as much as I did.
