Digital manual

A digital manual is a feature of virtually all JumpStart games. A digital manual accompanies the game it pertains to, and features information about the game such as its features, the toolbar, how to play the game, and credits.

Some early digital manuals contained only text, but many also provide images for each activity in a game, as well as images for important locations and characters. (See the digital manual images category for a collection of digital manual images.)

A game's digital manual can normally be accessed from that game's AutoPlay launch menu. In earlier games, digital manuals used the Microsoft Help format. In later games and releases, they instead use HTML and are viewed in a web browser.
