I just finished playing the Tutorial in the Manual. Right after that I started reading a walkthrough published by Universal Hint System as well as one published by Mitch Aigner and Dave Stanworth. These two walkthroughs seem quite a bit different than the Tutorial walkthrough contained in the Manual including the maps. Am I correct in assuming the Tutorial is just that and now I must start over and follow either the Universal and/or Aigner-Stanworth walkthroughs?
Any and all advice will be most appreciated.

I advise you to first try to play the game without any walkthrough at all. It's much more fun to figure things out on your own, it gives a much bigger sense of accomplishment if you succeed. You read the manual and played the tutorial, so now you should know how to play the game. Listen to all the logs you find to find out what your objectives are. If you get stuck, then you should look at a walkthrough. As far as I can tell, both those walkthroughs are pretty good.

Thanks Harvester: I played the game in 1994 without any strategy guide, had a great time. But, I'm confident I missed many things, which is why I now want to play it using the guide. Also, it's about the best game I've ever played. Your interest in my behalf is appreciated. pukey

Okay I see, I can relate to that, I also hate to miss stuff in games, especially story related stuff. In that case, (
http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/562684/2072) this walkthrough is useful. It tells you which items (weapons, implants, keycards etc.) a certain level contains and the approximate location of the items, so you can check if you've missed something. But I don't think there's any walkthrough that tells you where all the voice logs are, you'll just have to be very thorough and visit every room and every hallway. Check every corpse, check every cabinet, etc.
The UHS walkthrough isn't of much use to you, I think, it only talks about the things you need to do to finish the game, and nothing else.

Thanks for the walkthrough address Harvester. I'm going to check it out this evening. Your help is indeed appreciated. pukey
