OTHER ALIVE SOFTWARE PROGRAMS ( 15-NOV-90 )
SHAREWARE is a marketing concept that gives the users the opportunity
to try software before buying it.
* Unlike most Shareware companies we do not have a maximum trial
period, you may continue to use and share our Shareware programs with
your friends for as long as you wish.
* Unlike some Shareware programs ours are not demos or crippled copies
of the registered version. We give you a fully functional, well-
documented, well-tested Shareware program for you to use and enjoy.
The law of Natural Selection applies to Shareware: Only Well-designed
and easy to use programs will survive and become accepted by users.
* The Registered version will simply extend the quantity of the usage
of the program not the quality. Our shareware philosophy is simple :
" The shareware version is Excellent but the registered version is
Superb". Your Registration also entitles you to free technical support,
and your suggestions will influence the next version of the program.
* ALIVE SOFTWARE strongly supports the Shareware principle. When
you register one program, we will send to you for FREE 1 more floppy
disk with another Shareware program, created here at ALIVE SOFTWARE.
This is a list of our Shareware programs and latest versions

ALIVE SHARKS is an underwater action arcade game. It utilizes unique
Artificial Intelligence, Simulation and Classic Animation techniques
to transform your computer screen into a realistic ocean floor.
You are the Frogman and your mission is to collect rare marine
creatures and recover lost treasures from the bottom of the sea. Well,
it not going to be easy. Of course you are armed with your trusty
Stun-gun and you can always retreat in your electromagnetic base that
repels sharks and the rest of your dreadful Enemies. Your diving
uniform is state of the art but you can survive only a few shark
bites and it is useless against the poison of the deadly Jelly Fish.
This is not your typical "Shoot-them-up, Eat-the-Dots kind-of-game".
Your enemies are crafty, independent, they surround you in clever
formations and when you shoot at them from far away they are smart
enough to avoid your shot. The Registered version includes additional
games, marine creatures and background scenery.
Requirements:IBM PC or compatibles, 256K Memory, Optional Mouse or
Joystick. CGA or TANDY, EGA color, EGA MONO, Hercules.
