For Acrobat Reader, it definitely did make sense - they wanted to make the PDF format usable on as many platforms as possible. I can remember buying a "budget" version of System Shock in the mid-90s which only consisted of a CD in a jewel case, but contained the original manual as a PDF, with the DOS Acrobat Reader included to display it...
- rerx 6y agoThat's awesome. I missed that stretch of years when DOS games were sold with PDF manuals stored on disk, but not everybody was launching them from Windows 95... My pre-teen self didn't get to run games from CD-ROM before 1997 or so. :-(
