Uh oh.  Now you've done it.

You've just begun to install the Total Entertainment Network, the new
hang-out for game players on the Internet.  This could mean trouble.  If
you're fool enough to hit the NEXT button below, you'll be flung head-first
into the evolving world of Internet entertainment.  You'll be force-fed 5
free hours of online thrills with hit multiplayer games.  You'll be
obligated to eyeball the heaps of features that TEN has to offer.  Your
whole outlook on digital entertainment could take such a thrashing that you
may never play the same way again.

Need more reasons not to continue?  Okay, two words: "Free" and "More."

First, "Free."  When you sign on to TEN for the first time, you'll get 5 free
hours of online play.  That's 300 minutes of your precious entertainment
time down the tube.  That's 5 less hours of David Hasselhoff's shaggy chest
hair.  Or your 65th viewing of the Star Wars Trilogy.  Or 5 hours of play
against some moronic computer opponent in a boring single-player game.
Yeah, it's gonna hurt.

Next, "More."  What you have here is a full-bodied multiplayer gaming
network.  This version of TEN gives you all the features you need to meet
and play games with other people over the Internet.  It's clean, simple, and
straight-forward.  But don't be lulled by the opening gambit.  We're only
going to make your life more complicated with more and more stuff.  Soon
we'll be rolling out GameScape, our game information resource.  We'll host
tournaments and contests with real prizes.  We'll give you a full suite of
Internet services.  We'll make it easier to meet people and make friends.
And we'll support more and more freaking games.  We're only going to make
our service bigger, better, stronger, faster.  In a world as complex as
ours, do you really want to deal with all that?

Well, that's the best we can do to scare you off.  If you've got Win95, a
14.4+ kbps modem or Internet connection, a TEN supported game*, a major
credit card, and self-destructive tendencies, go ahead and punch that NEXT
button to register on TEN.  And don't say you weren't warned.

(*You must own the retail version of some games to play them on TEN.  See
the README file for more information about the games TEN supports and
their special installation instructions and system requirements.)
