Oh, my apologies - I forget that not everyone has a passion for hunting/collecting manuals like I do. I used to do this a lot about 10 years ago. Today not so much, because I have already collected nearly all the manuals that I was interested in, so therei s hardly anything lef to hunt down anymore.

Anyway, here is the link. I hope it helps. It's not a walkthrough in any way, so it should be okay.

I know it sounds hard to believe, but you have made decent progress thus far - I saw you make some pretty good sharp turns (even the vertical ones, which are harder). Of course, you're still not using any of the more advanced controls, e.g. accelerating and decelerating. But still, you manage to handle that X-wing at top speed, which is a good sign. Perhaps we'll make a pilot out of you yet :P

I get the impression that OCD is different for different people - yours is about chronology and spoilers, mine is more about purity or something like that. And just like your case, it's mostly related to gaming. I wouldn't care much how some .doc file at work is handled, as long as it serves its purpose. But for a game, I'd want it to be 100% perfect, or else I feel it "tainted" or "corrupted". And playing it gives me no satisfaction.

Possible reason for this? Maybe the old days when we used low-quality ripped games. After playing these horrible things for so many years I might have developed an intolerance towards their impurity, which has grown towards a general obsession with making everything perfect in all aspects of gaming (including installation, downloading and applying patches, adjusting in-game settings, etc.). At least this is my theory.

For you, it was probably the feeling of confusion when faced with something that requires knowledge of things from previous instalments... who knows.

I'd hate to solve puzzles with a walkthrough as well. If I do that, I'd feel compelled to solve it this way every time, and I'd become dependent on it. This happened with one particularly complicated puzzle in Zork 3, though I did beat it normally eventually, and now I try to keep doing it like this. If I could do it once, then I can do it every time :)
