--> Upgrade discounts on Version 2.0 when available

Now, here's some further incentive... information regarding Version 2. We will be adding the following features to the second version of Square Tower:
--> Network support, so you can play against someone via modem or the net.
--> Multi-player support. Work as a team, as opponents, whatever suits you. Player movement will be restricted so that all players are on the screen at all times.
--> Automatic Spell Use Mode, where any spell you find is instantly activated... no more hunting for the right key on the keyboard!
--> A Level Editor, so you can design your own levels to play (or let your friends play.) Place walls, treasure, monsters, everything.
--> A Level Collection-- dozens of our favorite pre-designed levels, with a new story and a new quest to complete to win the game.
--> New monsters, new sound effects, cool graphics...
Since you actually took the time to read this whole thing, here's a free gift... a secret to Square Tower. To maintain more than one saved game, rename the hidden file Square Tower.tmp (Square~1.tmp) in the Save directory to another name, preferably something you'll recognize. When you wish to reload that game, rename the file back to what it was.
While we're giving hints, here's another... in the registered version, be sure to experiment, trying to figure out the cheat codes. They aren't activated in the shareware version, but there are some incredible cheats available for those who register!
