We do our best to ensure every classic game comes with a manual but sometimes it's not possible for us to give one when we release the game. Rest assured that we are always on the lookout to add or improve the manuals on opur site for all of our games whenever possible :)

As to why they are a part of the bonus content? Simple: it saves you guys time from having to ask whether a manual is present for a given game :)

Avogadro6: Depends on the game. In some cases the manual comes with the installer (actually it's just hidden somewhere in the main folder, but well, at least it's there) but usually it's secluded with wallpapers and such for no apparent reason.
I guess GOG simply doesn't pay much attention to these details, it's hilarious having to download 2gigs of extras when all you're looking for is the manual though. :D
You always have the option of downloading the individual extras :) Just click on your desired bonus and you'll be asked where you want to save it, no need to download 2 GBs worth of bonus goodies :)

MaximumBunny: Are there games without manuals on GOG? And if so, has there ever been a case where the GOG Team made one for users?
Unfortunately, yes, there are some games without their respective manuals due to either legal issues or lack of an available physical copy.

I don't recall us ever making one.

pimpmonkey2382: Sometimes the manuals aren't in the installers so at least you can get them on the extras section.
The Covert Action manual is one of those cases but that's because the size of it is three times larger than the original game. I do try to keep the manuals as small as possible but with a 90+ page manual it's difficult to do so without losing some quality.

Grargar: Any progress with Theme Park?
Nothing to report as of yet but rest assured we'll do our best to get the manual, if possible from a legal and physical standpoint :)
