Robomaze II: The Lobby
"You are a freedom fighter -- a member of the Resistance -- fighting against
your country's evil dictator." So begins your adventure. Employing colorful,
sparkling graphics, Robomaze II takes you on an epic journey never before
experienced on the IBM PC.
The Lobby is the first spine-tingling episode in the Robomaze II trilogy, in
which you find yourself trapped in the stronghold of the evil dictator. In
The Lobby you must fight your way through the first 40 floors of this strong-
hold. But the evil dictator's devious hanchman, the Mad Scientist, has
concocted all sorts of cunning schemes to keep you from succeeding.
Can you defeat the forces of the Mad Scientist? Will you be the first to see
the Mad Scientist -- who occupies the final room of the Penthouse -- in person?
Can you conquer the Mad Scientist himself?
This is the same game that in just four months sold 40,000 retail copies. It
is available to you as shareware.
"Robomaze II is HOT! . . . this is one not to be missed. The clear, colorful
graphics and your control over the game leave nothing to be desired."

Robomaze III: The Dome
Highly addictive action/adventure sequel to Robomaze II in which you are a
freedom fighter hunting down the evil dictator. You control the fabulous
Stalker robot as your search for keys, weapons and equipment; enter mysterious
underground hideouts such as Fort Doom and the Enclave of the Penguins;
encounter deadly poisonous plants. Can you find the dictator and free your
beloved country from his tyranny?
Robomaze III transcends the traditional boundaries between adventure and
arcade games. For adventure game enthusiasts the game includes loads of
intrigue and thinking, as you try to find the secret treasures and items
necessary to complete the game. For arcade game enthusiasts the game includes
14 different enemies that must be overcome to win the game. With over 70
different graphics screens, Robomaze III contains something for every game
player.
Find out why PsL News selected Robomaze III: The Dome as one of its best new
arcade games for 1991. And why it is now shipping as a new retail game (under
a different name, of course).

Corncob 3D
A Shareware Magazine Editor's Choice award winner! Corncob was nominated in
two categories as by the Shareware Industry Awards, and has received rave
reviews in PC/Games, In Flight, and Nuts and Volts magazines.
As you hear the scream of KLA homing devices that barely miss your wobbling
Corsair aircraft, you know you're in for the fight of your life. You check
your altitude gauge, then steel yourself for another run at the enemy. This
is just part of the action in Corncob 3D, the best shareware air combat flight
simulator ever! With Adlib and Sound Blaster music and pulsating sound
effects, you'll be riveted to your seat for hours with this game!
With superb VGA 3D graphics, some of them digitized, Corncob 3D takes you to the
year 1949. In that alternate reality, aliens have invaded Earth, and it is up
to you to stop them in your Corsair fighter aircraft.
Corncob offers over 20 different missions to achieve your objective of driving
the aliens from Earth. It also includes a training mission, heart-racing
battles with alien aircraft (and even aliens themselves). Written by a physics
graduate student, Corncob 3D is the most realistic air combat game on the
market today, retail or shareware. Flight-simulation special effects include
stalls, side-slips, upside-down flying, and more.
According to Shareware Update magazine, Corncob's VGA graphics "are most
impressive indeed." In addition, Corncob's virtual reality approach "is an
incredible effect that must be experienced to fully appreciate." Providing
"hours of entertainment," Corncob compares favorably to retail air battle
games costing three times as much!
Version 3.42 is completely new and has no game-play or feature limitations.
All elements of the program are available in the shareware version, which is
identical to the retail version available in stores throughout North America.
Because of it's intense animation, Corncob requires VGA or SVGA and a 286 or
better computer.

Hoosier City: Assault of the Orcs
Selected as a cover disk in Holland!
You're the only hope humans have in a world gone mad. Mutant Orcs and their
cronies have taken over the Earth, which now supports life only in a few
domed cities. Your mission: retake Hoosier City and make it safe for human
habitation again. But the Orcs aren't all you must contend with. Dragons,
giants, ghosts, and skeletons are just some of the foes that would love to
do you in.
In the grand tradition of MVP action games, Hoosier City is a real knockout!
This is the same version that a retail publisher wanted after seeing just
three graphics game screens! Plus Hoosier City boasts Sound Blaster music
and digitized sound effects! Awesome!
With the wonderful hi-res animated graphics of Jason Pellerin, and the
fanciful game design of Keith Laverty, Hoosier City combines arcade action
with adventure game intrigue to bring you a truly unique gaming experience.
Because of intense animation, Hoosier City requires an EGA or VGA and a 286 or
better computer.

Game Builder Lite
Have you ever told yourself that you could write great games if only you were
a better programmer? Well now you can!
Gamebuilder Lite is not a programmer's library, but a full-featured game
authoring system that produces professional-quality games. This is the
product that other game companies didn't want us to release, because now
anyone can write exciting graphics games.
Unlock the secrets of the great game creators even if you've never written a
line of code. With Game Builder Lite you can create professional graphics
games with smooth, flicker-free animation. Features include point 'n click
interface for your game, mouse support, sound effects, masking, object
animation and detection, and much more. Write games in CGA, EGA, 256-color
VGA, even Tandy 16 color!
Game Builder Lite comes complete with everything you need to write a pro-
fessional game, including a full-featured paint program for creating or
modifying graphics, even digitized graphics! Your games can be as short as you
like, or up to 400 graphics screens, which is bigger than commercial games!
A free game is included with the program that acts like a tutorial, showing
you how to design games. You'll be writing your own game in no time, using
Gamebuilder's step-by-step, easy method. In our testing, children as young as
eight years old could easily write games with Game Builder Lite, but the
software has many advanced features that experienced gamers will love.
Use Game Builder Lite to write adventure games, educational games, puzzle
games -- your only limit is your imagination. Who knows, maybe you'll be the
next hot game developer!

MVP Paint
Now you can create or modify graphics the way the pros do it. With its many
advanced features, MVP Paint is especially suited for producing or modifying
animated graphics. Game designers or artists who demand top performance love
its ability to do animation, anti-aliasing, sunbursting, pallette matching,
interpolation, trending and a whole lot more.
Of course MVP Paint handles the basic functions -- line drawing, color fill,
circles, etc. -- with ease. But it goes a step beyond with advanced techniques
not found in programs costing twice as much. Included are sample code segments
to show you how to incldude VGA graphics in your Pascal or C programs, as well
as lots of extra goodies.
The registered version even includes the ability to save 256-color graphics in
Basic, C or Pascal code, doing away with the need to save and load a separate
.PCX or other graphics file.
MVP Paint has been used by top game creators for two years, and now we're
bringing the new version to you as shareware!
MVP Paint requires a VGA or SVGA and a mouse.
