Alright, it's been years since I've been active here, but I'm back under a different name now. And this time I need help with something that's not exactly lost, but something I can't (be arsed to) really obtain.
Among the many games Bullfrog Productions had a hand in, Theme Aquarium is probably definitely the most obscure. Until recently it wasn't really known who exactly produced it (spoilers: it's Tose, not Bullfrog). It also had a half-arsed PC release in Europe without the "Theme" branding. It's just called Aquarium here.
Either name is rather tough to research since they sound so generic. It's not hard to buy a copy of both the original Japanese release on PS1 or the European PC release (hell, the European release can be found on the Internet Archive), but the English manual is not archived online. And I already have a physical copy of the game myself so I don't really feel like buying a copy with the manual (or the extras that come with the Collector's Edition). Can someone please archive both on the Internet Archive?
(Oh and if someone feels very charitable (thank you so much), maybe they could code a little patch to get this game working on Windows 10/11 since at the moment this game only works on Win95, Win98 and maybe XP. It's optional, and I don't even know if it's appropriate to ask someone of this on this forum, I don't wanna come off as rude. I just want to play this game on Windows 10 instead of a jank Virtual Machine.)
