As it says when you load the game, Act Of War is a SHAREWARE product, though I bet you don't need it shouted at you.
AoW has taken me nearly four months of practically full-time effort to write. Assuming a professional programmer is paid £10K a year, I make that £3 grand you lot owe me!
Don't worry, just joking.
However, if you like the game, I would like a minimum of £5, which isn't too much really (better than £3000 anyway). If you really like the game, I'd very much appreciate it if you sent more. If you think it's commercial quality, you could send £10 or £15, or even more if you've got more money than sense. Of course, you get benefits yourself!
A ``donation" (polite word for payment) of £5 will get you a nice letter and a disk containing the mission editor, the latest version of the program and any extra missions I've got. £10 will get you a very nice letter, the mission editor disk, and the source code of the program (all 275K of it) on a second disk. If you send me more than £10, you'll get an unspeakably nice letter, all the above, and probably Christmas cards for life as well. In addition, I'll nominate you for ``Best Supporting Actor" at next year's Academy Awards, and make sure your house is looked after when you go abroad. If you know what I mean.
I'd like the money in either:
When I tried to cash some US cheques recently, I was told the minimum charge would be £10. So, it has to be UK currency I'm afraid, unless you make me an offer I can't refuse (like a $500 cheque, or your DAT player, or your sister).
Now all you need to know is where to send the money!
