For many years, ADC has endeavored to provide high-quality,
low-cost software. Among the vast array of software available for
IBM and compatible computers, Shareware software has consistently
been a leader in delivering true value to the consumer. Therefore,
in addition to the software published and distributed by ADC, the
SOFTWAREVAULT BBS has always offered the best selections from the
Shareware available.
Now, ADC has gone a step further to ensure that the consumer can
obtain the greatest number of quality programs for the lowest cost,
by publishing the SOFTWAREVAULT CD-ROM Library. Along with this
new offering from ADC, the ADC BBS has changed its name to the
SOFTWAREVAULT BBS to emphasize the enormous library of Shareware
programs available over the telephone by modem.
However, for those who want to acquire a very large library of
programs quickly, the CD-ROM Library is the best and most cost-
effective method. ADC has very carefully chosen programs from top
authors to create one of the world's largest collections of
Shareware and public-domain software.
Shareware is a "try-before-you-buy" method of selling software. In
the beginning, Shareware was purchased directly from the author.
The authors were able to avoid the cost of marketing through normal
retail channels and the consumer was able to obtain great bargains.
One drawback, however, was the limited information available to the
public about what software was available. Distributing Shareware
software through computer bulletin boards was the very logical
solution that soon became standard procedure for all Shareware
authors. By allowing programs to be copied from bulletin boards
and shared with few restrictions, Shareware is able to reach a
much greater number of users.
The SOFTWAREVAULT BBS is one of the better bulletin boards bringing
shareware to the consumer. We maintain a good working relationship
with the authors and afford them the chance to present their
software in an electronic marketplace at a greatly reduced cost.
The distribution of Shareware software by CD-ROM is the next
logical progression. It is like downloading thousands of programs
from the BBS at once. The same Shareware rules and requirements
apply, of course, but you receive so many programs at one time that
you can instantly build an impressive software library.
ADC pays a great deal of attention to all of the software it
distributes. All programs uploaded to our BBS are carefully tested
and reviewed to ensure performance and to detect the presence of a
virus. The software is copied to high quality streaming tapes and
our CD-ROM discs are produced using state-of-the-art technology.
And, of course, our technical staff is available to help with
any questions you might have.
From our beginning, ADC has recognized that the consumer is the
very most important link in the chain of successful distribution.
The success of ADC in distributing all of the software it carries
has depended upon listening to, and understanding, the needs of our
clients, and providing solutions when they are needed. The same
is true for our CD-ROM Library. We want to hear from you and learn
what can be improved in the future. Feel free to use all of the
means of communicating with us for this purpose, including leaving
messages for us on our BBS.

Shareware and the Association of Shareware Professionals
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(tm)
Association of
Shareware
o
Professionals
The shareware concept makes it possible for you to obtain extremely
powerful software at a price you can afford, and it gives you the
opportunity to try the software before you register.
The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP), is an
organization formed to strengthen the future of shareware. Its
members, all of whom are programmers that subscribe to a code of
ethics, are committed to the concept of shareware as a method of
marketing.
The ASP sets standards for its members and their shareware products
which provide (among other things) that programs produced by ASP
members must be fully documented, non-crippled, and offered with at
least a minimum level of support. It also sets the standards for
shareware disk vendors and provides information to the public
about shareware.
Shareware software is a unique marketing approach which allows
consumers to purchase software directly from the author. This
eliminates costly marketing, promotion, and packaging; allowing
consumers to obtain quality software at a fraction of the
commercial cost. Shareware authors allow their programs to be
copied and distributed with few restrictions. Shareware users are
encouraged to examine a program, copy it, and pass it on to
friends. If users find the software program useful, they are asked
to register with the software author. This usually means paying a
registration fee directly to the shareware author. In return for
this registration fee, "registered users" receive the right to
continue to use the software and added benefits such as full
documentation, technical support, and future updates of the
program.
Registration is the key to success for the shareware concept. If
you try a program and it does not meet your needs, you are not
expected to register. However, if you try a program, like it, and
continue to use it, you should compensate the author with a
registration fee. Registration also insures further development of
the program. Shareware is the "try-before-you-buy" method of
software distribution that will literally save you hundreds of
dollars on software purchases.
American Databankers Corporation, distributor of The SoftwareVault,
is an approved vendor and associate member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the
shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can
help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does
not provide technical support for members' products. Please write
to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon MI 49422-9427 or
send a CompuServe Mail message to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536 or FAX
616-788-2765.

Register your favorite shareware programs directly with the author
of the shareware program. These authors work many long hours to
produce and test these programs that are on the SoftwareVAULT
CD-ROM. They have earned the right to be paid for their efforts by
the sweat of their brow.
The registration price for a shareware is usually very small ($5.00
- $85.00 US). Registering a program brings with it additional
benefits. In most cases, you will get the latest version of the
program and a printed manual. Most shareware programs are
constantly being improved so when you register, there is a good
chance that you will get a newer version the one you are
registering for. You will also be eligible for technical support
(usually by phone, letter or CompuServe). The registered version
will also be free of any trailers or opening (nag) screens on it,
telling you to register.
If you register a program from outside of the USA, you should mail
the author a US-draft or a bank check in US-Dollars. If the author
accepts Visa or Mastercard, you can simply give your Visa /
Mastercard number and expiration date.
The usual period of time for evaluation of a program before
registering is about 30 days.

American Databankers Corporation is principally a software
publisher. We design, publish and directly support a line of
proprietary software in several categories.
Our software products range from a menu and utilities package
specifically created for the novice to average user to very
sophisticated industrial products created for use by other
programmers to solve specific problems. We design and write
utilities, installation programs and multilingual procedures for
publishers of software in the United States and in several
foreign countries. We also manufacture and distribute The
SOFTWAREVAULT collection of CD-ROM Software.
Our collection of CD-ROM Software is unique because of the very
large number of programs, serveral thousands, and because no
program is duplicated in more than one collection of programs. In
addition, we provide you with a free copy of The Librarian, a
complete database of all of the files on the CD. You may search on
any subject and when you select a program, the Librarian will
create the necessary directories (if you ask it to), copy the
program from the CD-ROM and unpack the programs and files for you.
The Librarian can also create directory listing text files for any
BBS, or export information to a file in any one of several
different word processing formats, and filter or search by any
subject. The Collection - hundreds of megabytes of fantastic
shareware programs. Many of which are better than commercial
programs.
The single most significant distinguishing feature of American
Databankers is the depth of knowledge we maintain for all of the
software we carry. When you telephone our technical support staff,
you speak with an experienced programmer who is familiar not only
with our products, but also with all facets of the complex problems
which beset the industry.
We stand behind every program we carry and we value every one of
our customers. We provide genuine help when you need it and we
offer the same high quality of service to end-users, dealers,
programmers, distributors and OEMs.
We maintain a 24-hour Bulletin Board with separate conferences for
each of our products. In addition to the free software which is
available on the Bulletin Board, information is exchanged by
programmers, dealers and VARs and the Bulletin Board may also be
used to send us a technical inquiry, request assistance with a
special problem or ask for technical support. Our products may also
be ordered by credit card on the Bulletin Board at any time of the
day or night on our BBS, or by phone during business hours.
When you buy, resell or distribute American Databanker's products,
you also receive the knowledge and experience necessary to ensure
satisfaction and performance.
Shareware Authors that wish to have their software approved for any
of our SOFTWAREVAULT Collections should send complete copies of
their programs (uncrippled and as you want them to appear) to:

A thriller action adventure epic
that will appeal to Duke Nukem fans!
Game designed by Jim Norwood
Core game engine by Id Software
You are Snake Logan, a top CIA operative who likes to do things his
own way. Metro City has fallen under the attack of hideous mutants
and your mission is to fly recon over the city and report back.
While circling over the city you're shot down by hostile forces and
forced to crash land on the streets of Metro. Grabbing what
supplies you can find you are out to discover the source of these
mutants and especially the guy who shot you down!
Intelligence reports indicate that a man calling himself Dr. Mangle
is responsible for the mutants and the destruction of Metro. You
will have to battle your way through many levels packed with evil
mutants and robotic guards to finally infiltrate Mangle's fortress
and defeat him. You think to yourself that this will be your most
dangerous mission of your life.
** Exciting Features **
* Developed using a game engine developed by Id Software, designers
of Doom.
* Fantastically animated creatures and menacing robotic enemies to
outwit.
* Non-stop, Duke Nukem-style, kick-'em-in-the-butt, shoot every-
thing action!
* Exciting and brilliantly drawn graphics, with stunning variety
and realism.
* Full Ad Lib music soundtrack and sound effects.
* Big boss creatures to battle!
* Several weapons at your disposal, plus four secret weapons and
maneuvers!
* Many secret areas to discover.
* Three skill levels. Joystick support. Save and restore games.
* Over two years in development.
* 80286 or higher required due to animation and special effects.
Snake Logan is a weapons expert, and uses several throughout the
game, including a high-powered machine gun (you NEED to hear to
sound effect for this!) and grenades. Snake can also perform
special maneuvers, like the one described here:
SUPER PLASMA BOLT: Hold the up arrow, (or up on the joystick),
until you hear an electrical charge sound. Once you hear this
sound, press the fire button and a plasma beam will shoot in the
direction you are facing burning through a whole line of enemies!
Beware, this is a powerful weapon and the toxic fume cloud it
leaves behind inflicts one point of damage on Snake! Use this
weapon wisely and carefully!
Other secret maneuvers include the FIRE BALL ATTACK, the ELECTRON
SHIELD, and the INVINCIBILITY BURST. But you'll have to discover
these while playing the game.

Amazing 256-color VGA parallax
scrolling, Sound Blaster music
and digital effects, with long
and absorbing cinematics.
Due to amazing ANIMATION, this game requires a 386 or faster.
Halloween Harry is the first of new generation of Apogee games. A
big-time production with no detail overlooked. Professional musical
soundtrack, brilliant full-VGA graphics, non-stop animation and
impressive start-game and end-game cinematic animations (it's like
watching a movie).
If Duke Nukem has a twin separated at birth, it's got to be the
character of Halloween Harry! Harry has an armory of weapons he can
find and use, besides the devastating flame thrower that he starts
the game with. And Harry's jet pack takes him to spots on a level
that normal heroes could not reach.
Earth is on the verge of a takeover by aliens intent on turning
humans into mindless slave zombies, who can be used in their
conquest of the universe. Harry's called into action to Space
Station Liberty, and given orders to penetrate the alien ship which
has borrowed itself under a high-rise city.
In addition to the flame thrower, Harry can use weapons dispensers
he finds during the game, giving him weapons like the photon
cannon, guided missiles, grenades, shields, micro nukes, and the
very powerful Omega bomb. It's an arsenal that will have the aliens
shakin' in their slimy shoes.
NOTE: 80386 or better required, due to impressive animation and
action.
STUNNING FEATURES
* Best 256-color VGA "platform" game ever seen on the IBM PC

In the not-so-distant future the calamity of World War III led to
eventual world peace. But it did not last...
Earth was invaded by alien marauders--the Kretons. Earth's united
military force, still depleted after the mighty onslaught of WWIII,
was not nearly sufficient to repel the numerous Kreton attacks.
It was discovered that the Kretons had used a wormhole to invade
our region of space from their home worlds. And with that knowledge
Earth called into action Major Harrison Stryker, hero of WWIII, to
travel back through the worm hole and destroy the Kreton's home
world headquarters.
With almost no chance of success, you accept the mission...
Major Stryker is the first Apogee game with "triple-parallax
scrolling", adding to the illusion of depth and danger. Your
mission is to pilot a high-powered, armored space ship through
dozens of stunning scenarios, such as space stations, lava caves
and alien cities.
Exciting features:
Ad Lib music and Sound Blaster digitized effects.
EGA/VGA high-speed animated graphics.
Cinematic sequences.
Unlike any other Apogee game yet.
Full of bonuses and secrets to discover.

Aztec ruin, in search for clues to help halt the powerful force
he's released. Al enters a world of fiery devastation, filled with
all new graphics and perils. This game has two huge animated
sequences that are worth the price of admission in themselves!

horrifying truth--the pyramid of Paganitzu is actually a living
entity, which he could not see as a living person! Can Al still
save the world? Will he escape with his life! The chilling end

INCLUDING PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD!
Available in 256-color VGA only
*** REQUIRES an 80286 or better system to run. ***
Wolfenstein 3-D is simply a technology breakthrough! The first

The story: You're William J. "B.J." Blazkowicz, the Allies' bad boy
of espionage and a terminal action seeker. Your mission was to
infiltrate the Nazi fortress Castle Hollehammer and find the plans
for Operation Eisenfaust, the Nazi's blueprint for building the
perfect army. Rumors are that deep within the castle the diabolical
Dr. Schabbs has perfected a technique for building a fierce army
from the bodies of the dead. It's so far removed from reality that
it would seem silly if it wasn't so sick. But what if it were true?
You were never given the chance to find out! Captured in your
attempt to grab the secret plans, you were taken to the Nazi
prison, Castle Wolfenstein, for questioning and eventual execution.
Will you be able to escape and finish your world-saving mission?
As an escaped prisoner in a Nazi war prison, you will move smoothly
through a 3-D world full of amazing detail and animation. Unlike
other 3-D games, you'll move SMOOTHLY through a sensational and
realistic 3-D environment, with intelligent moving guards and
opponents.
This is a high-action game. Use your rapid fire machine gun to mow
down a line of enemies, or sneak up on a guard with your knife so
you don't waste your limited ammunition. Id Software, the creators
of Commander Keen, have broken new ground with their all-new
Wolfenstein 3-D.
Intense and mood-setting Ad Lib music throughout the entire

EPIC MEGAGAMES presents a game from RENAISSANCE PRODUCTIONS
You have landed in a clearing. Frantically, you rush through the
woods toward the lights of the city far off in the distance. A
vision of your family dances in your head -- your wife and the
newborn daughter you have not yet seen. You must save them. As you
finally scramble to a bluff panoramically overlooking the city, you
see the lights in the sky and you realize it is too late. The flash
nearly blinds you, and when vision returns, you feel nothing but
anger as the massive mushroom cloud looms over the city. You are
too late to save your home, but other cities remain, and they are
vulnerable. It is up to you alone to unravel the plot and hold back
the enemy attackers.

* VGA graphics
* 2 Megabyte of memory and DOS 3.0 or later
