About the game
16 Marbles v1.0 is a $10 shareware product. Don't forget to pay the fee.
When the game starts you see a wooden board with 17 holes. Each of the holes, except the one in the middle, contain a marble. The object of the game is to remove all of the marbles except one from the board. You can remove a marble by making another marble skip over it. A marble can skip over another marble if the hole next to the marble being skipped over is empty. Does this sound confusing? Just try it a few times and it will come clear to you.
About shareware
This program is shareware, which means if you use it, you should send me US$10. If you don't use it, please trash it.
Why should you pay for this game?
- To make me happy. I've worked hard to create this game and I think I deserve some sort of reward.
- To encourage me to continue writing more shareware product.
- If I release other shareware products in the future, maybe I can arrange some sort of discount for registered users. I will send a free copy of this game to all users of Kalaha v1.0 (my first game for the mac), registered before this game's release date. Supporting shareware pays off for both you and me.
If you're already a registered user of Kalaha, the shareware fee is only US$5, or you may pay US$15 to register both games.

You will also find my address in the About box. Choose "About 16 Marbles…" from the Apple menu. Wrap a piece of paper around the money (Just to be safe. I don't trust anyone, not even the swedish post offices.), write down your name and address and send it to me. Don't forget to write what your paying for, in this case "16 Marbles". I will only accept cash (US dollars or Swedish kronor), so don't send me checks!
For swedish users only/Endast för svenska användare: Räkna med att 10 dollar motsvarar ungefär 70 svenska kronor. Om du vill är du välkommen att sätta in pengarna på mitt postgirokonto istället för att skicka dem i ett kuvert. Mitt postgirokonto är 832 92 91-2. Glöm inte att ange ditt namn, din adress och att du betalar för spelet "16 Marbles".
System requirements
16 Marbles v1.0 requires a Macintosh with about 1 Megabyte of free RAM and System 7 or better. This game is a FAT binary, so it should work on both PowerMacs and on some older Macs. I have tested it on the following computers; PM7200/75, PM7200/90, PM6100/60 and with System 7.5.2 and 7.5.3.
Distribution & Legal stuff
16 Marbles v1.0 may be distributed freely, provided it is not altered in any way, and all accompanying files are distributed with it. It may not be distributed for profit without my permission. An exception is that 16 Marbles may be included on any CD ROM provided I get a free copy of that CD ROM.
I am not responsible for any damage to your computer system, data, or business as a direct or indirect result of this product. You use this software at your own risk.
