I am trying to find the very first "FAQ" (I don't even know if it IS a FAQ) released to the WWW in 1995 in plain text format. I can't find it anywhere and all the other "preview" FAQs don't have the one feature that the original one had: the ability of the player to be able to ride Griffons. Yes, this was an actual planned feature of the game. That preview FAQ was the one and only place I saw that blurb. It also had screenshots of NPCs riding on horseback in-game. I can't find those screenshots anywhere either. I wish I had downloaded and saved all that stuff when I had the chance. If anyone here knows what I am talking about (or better yet has a Link or even just plain HAS it) then feel free to speak up. Any help would be appreciated.
PS - I bet a friend of mine that the Griffon-riding feature existed at some point, so I am out to make good on it lol

It's close, but it's not the one. It doesn't mention griffons, but it has the newtow1.gif (pic of a woman riding a horse past you) in the screenshot list, but its blacked out. You can't see the actual screenshot.

There is a sources page here: http://www.uesp.net/dagger/faq/dagsrc.shtml but all the other sources do not exist anymore. UESP is the only one that has survived since Daggerfall.

It has to be one of the early Computer Gaming World issues (Jan 1995 probably). Thanks for the link
