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.
