- Introducing the MVP Distribution Network
-
- Have you heard about the MVP Distribution Network? MVP Software is
- joining forces with BBS sysops in a joint effort that will help both
- of us. I'd like to invite you to become a member of the MVPDN.
- Here's how it can benefit you.
-
- Near and dear to all sysops' hearts are callers. If you run a
- subscription BBS, then more callers means more money. If you run a
- free BBS, then more callers means that more people are finding what
- they want on your system. Participating in the MVPDN will increase
- the traffic on your board.
-
- Participating sysops in the MVPDN receive all of our popular games
- and entertainment-related shareware directly from MVP Software,
- before it is available on other boards or from shareware disk
- vendors.
-
- What about the quality of our games? Good question. AOL has chosen
- many MVP games as Top Picks over the years. PsL News chose both
- Robomaze II and Robomaze III as the top new arcade games of 1991,
- tied with several Apogee games. Corncob 3D, our award-winning
- flight sim, was nominated in two categories by the Shareware
- Industry Awards, received an Editor's Choice in Shareware Magazine,
- and has been favorably reviewed in PC/Games, Nuts and Volts, In
- Flight, Computer Gaming World, and several other publications. In
- 1994 MVP Bridge (DOS) was chosen by CGW as best shareware card game
- of the year and was nominated by PC Magazine as one of the five best
- shareware games of the year, all categories, and Pickle Wars was
- nominated by CGW as one of the three best arcade/adventure shareware
- games of the year. In 1995 MVP Bridge for Windows was nominated by
- CGW as one of three best shareware card and casino games, and MVP
- Wordsearch for Windows was nominated by the SIA as one of the best
- in its category. Rings of the Magi was awarded a five-star rating
- by Ziff-Davis Interactive, a distinction awarded to less than 3% of
- all shareware games.
-
- And the best is yet to come. We have released our first Windows95
- game, and we have lots of exciting new games under development.
-
- Don't miss out! Be the first BBS in your area to carry these hot
- new shareware products! These are just some of the reasons to join
- the MVPDN now and grow with us. It's easy to join the MVP
- Distribution Network. Here's what you do.
-
- 1. Not all boards qualify to be a distribution site for MVP
- Software. We would love to have them all, but to qualify, your
- board MUST be online 24 hours a day. I'm sorry, but we can't
- support part-time boards.
-
- 2. Download all MVP shareware titles from our world wide web page
- at http://www.mvpsoft.com or from InterComm BBS at 310-858-6200.
- Alternatively, ftp our files from any of the following ftp sites:
-
- ftp.mvpsoft.com/pub/mvpsoft
- ftp.he.net/pub/mvpsoft
- ftp.uwp.edu/pub/msdos/games/mvp
- archive.uwp.edu/pub/msdos/games/mvp
-
- Users accessing either of the last two sites on this list must
- include a dash in front of their email addresses for the
- password. Without that dash the software won't give you access.
-
- 3. When you are finished downloading the software, send an email
- message to MVP at 74777.1116@compuserve.com indicating that
- you have downloaded the software and want to be added to our
- database of MVPDN sites. Include your first and last name,
- the name of your BBS, the mailing address of your BBS, the BBS
- telephone number, and your Internet email address. When we
- release new titles we will notify you that they are available.
-
- 4. Create a file section on your system called MVP SOFTWARE. This
- file section will contain all MVP shareware products.
-
- 5. Post the MVP bulletin and the MVP log-on message on your board
- to let your users know you are a distribution site. These are
- found in the SYSOPMVP.ZIP file. If your board is capable of
- displaying GIF files, you may also display the MVP logo. Please
- note, however, that the MVP logo is a trademark and may be used
- ONLY by MVPDN sites to indicate that they are a member.
-
- 6. We will notify you of new releases and updates. You will also
- receive our periodic sysop newsleter, MVPDN News.
-
- And that's all there is to it! I hope you will join us today.
