║ KINGDOM OF KROZ ║ $7.50 registration
╚═════════════════╝
This game won a national programming contest as "Best Game in Shareware". It
features 25 levels of rousing action, 16-color graphics and a library of 200+
sound effects. It's a unique combination of arcade, adventure and strategy.
This is Volume I of the original Kroz Trilogy.
QUOTES:
"Kingdom of Kroz is the best of all." -- PC-SIG Directory Guide
"I've had this game a long time, and I still stay up late to play it."
-- Shareware Magazine
(Program of the Month)
"The most unique and fun-to-play game in shareware!"
-- Micro Star Catalog
"Four Stars!" (Highest rating in their system!)
-- Public Brand Catalog
"From Texas author Scott Miller comes an exciting adventure game, Kingdom of
Kroz. You can use your only weapon, a whip, to dispatch foes and break
through walls. It's a real challenge." -- COMPUTE!'s PC Magazine
"1989 in Review -- Best New Programs...Kingdom of Kroz..." (Kingdom of Kroz
was one of three games listed.) -- PsL News, Dec. 1989
"I'm really enjoying KINGDOM OF KROZ, I hope it doesn't destroy my GPA!"
-- Greg McKinzey, OK
"My computer is held hostage as my wife whips her way to level 25! You
really DID write an entertaining program, my check is enclosed for the
two sequels." -- John Rollinson, CA
"Thank you for creating the Kingdom of Kroz series. They are by far some
of the most interesting and addictive games that I've ever played. The
shareware concept is a great one. It allowed me to try out Kroz, a game
that I probably would not have given a second thought to, because the
graphics look so simple and uncomplicated. What the game lacks in it's
visual appeal, it more than makes up in it's richness and complexity of
play. Kroz is a real 'thinking [person's]' game."
-- Vincent Tavedi, MD
"I would like to compliment and thank you for your game Kingdom of Kroz. It
is truly the most enjoyable computer game I have ever used. Over a year ago
I suffered a heart failure. A good friend of mine made copies of over 50
diskettes and sent them to me to help during my rehabilitation. The Kingdom
of Kroz has been my escape from my problems and depression. When I get on my
feet financially, I intend to order the other Kroz games from you."
-- Jim Garrison, NY
(Note: I sent Jim Garrison all of my other Kroz games at no charge!)
"You ought to be ashamed of yourself! Kingdom of Kroz is a very addicting
substance!! Not only am I addicted, but so are most of my friends. Keep up
the good work." -- Rev. Sandra Herrman, OK
"I would like to tell you that I have enjoyed Kingdom very much and am
totally addicted to it. It is the best shareware game I have played."
-- Carla Brandy, CA
"Please do not make any more games like KINGDOM OF KROZ--I can't stop playing!"
-- Ronald E. Johnson, FL

║ SUPER KROZ TRILOGY ║ $7.50 per volume or $20 for all three
╚════════════════════╝
This is the awaited sequel volumes to the extremely popular Kroz Trilogy.
The Super Kroz trilogy boasts new features galore. Over forty new playfield
objects (like spells, traps, creatures, treasures, terrains, etc.) have been
added. The three new Kroz games are:
RETURN TO KROZ - Your quest for the "Crown of Kroz".
TEMPLE OF KROZ - A death defying adventure for the "Holy Grail".
THE FINAL CRUSADE OF KROZ - Will you discover the great mystery of Kroz?
They all have 16-color graphics (yes, 16 colors!) and a tremendous sound
effects library. In each game you must navigate through dangerous chambers,
solving puzzles and avoiding pitfalls. Collect gems, whips, chests, nuggets,
tablets, keys and scrolls to aid your progress. These game are as much
strategic as they are pure arcade fun.
All Kroz games are designed to work correctly on ANY computer system, regardless
of microprocessor type or speed. Although they are best played on a color
system, they do have an option to be played on a monochrome system!
QUOTES:
The following is a review of the new Kroz games from The Software Labs catalog
of shareware games:
"It's pure dynamite! A unique combination of arcade action, strategy and
adventure unlike any other game you've played. Some levels are puzzle oriented,
which makes a great change of pace from the high action parts of the game.
You'll find new terrains, traps, spells, hazards, creatures, and levels to
challenge your dexterity, and sound effects galore. You'll encounter moving
walls, forbidden forests, active volcanoes, bottomless pits and much more,
plus plenty of options. AND, no two games will be alike! Great fun, great
challenge, great action--GREAT GAME!!!"
-- Software Labs Catalog
"Five Stars!" (Highest rating in their system!)
-- Sizzleware Catalog
"Four Stars!" (Highest rating in their system!)
-- Public Brand Catalog
"Five Stars--As good as the best commercial programs available."
-- Micro Star Catalog
"Here is my check for the use of your fantastic program, thankfully you are
not charging by the hour...or I would be bankrupt!. I am currently
stationed in Korea, and your games have been the highlight of my tour."
-- CW3 Daniel W. Evans, PA
1st Bn 5th Infantry
"My family is fascinated by the Kroz series." (Family picture enclosed!)
-- Isabel Goehringer, Germany
The following is an actual letter from a grandmother of the young age of 64:
"I have lived in Kroz for almost a month and was sorry tonight to finally find
the Amulet.
"It really is strange what an illness your game can
