It features 25 levels of rousing action, 16-color graphics and a library of 200+ sound effects. It's a unique combination of arcade, adventure and strategy. This is Volume I of the original Kroz Trilogy. There are two more volumes in the original Kroz Trilogy: Caverns of Kroz and Dungeons of Kroz, each $7.50, or you can get the entire trilogy for just $20. QUOTES: "Kingdom of Kroz is the best of all." -- PC-SIG Directory Guide "I've had this game a long time, and I still stay up late to play it." -- Shareware Magazine (Program of the Month) "The most unique and fun-to-play game in shareware!" -- Micro Star Catalog "Four Stars!" (Highest rating in their system!) -- Public Brand Catalog "From Texas author Scott Miller comes an exciting adventure game, Kingdom of Kroz. You can use your only weapon, a whip, to dispatch foes and break through walls. It's a real challenge." -- COMPUTE!'s PC Magazine "1989 in Review -- Best New Programs...Kingdom of Kroz..." (Kingdom of Kroz was one of three games listed.) -- PsL News, Dec. 1989 "I'm really enjoying KINGDOM OF KROZ, I hope it doesn't destroy my GPA!" -- Greg McKinzey, OK "My computer is held hostage as my wife whips her way to level 25! You really DID write an entertaining program, my check is enclosed for the two sequels." -- John Rollinson, CA "Thank you for creating the Kingdom of Kroz series. They are by far some of the most interesting and addictive games that I've ever played. The shareware concept is a great one. It allowed me to try out Kroz, a game that I probably would not have given a second thought to, because the graphics look so simple and uncomplicated. What the game lacks in it's visual appeal, it more than makes up in it's richness and complexity of play. Kroz is a real 'thinking [person's]' game." -- Vincent Tavedi, MD "I would like to compliment and thank you for your game Kingdom of Kroz. It is truly the most enjoyable computer game I have ever used. Over a year ago I suffered a heart failure. A good friend of mine made copies of over 50 diskettes and sent them to me to help during my rehabilitation. The Kingdom of Kroz has been my escape from my problems and depression. When I get on my feet financially, I intend to order the other Kroz games from you." -- Jim Garrison, NY (Note: I sent Jim Garrison all of my other Kroz games at no charge!) "You ought to be ashamed of yourself! Kingdom of Kroz is a very addicting substance!! Not only am I addicted, but so are most of my friends. Keep up the good work." -- Rev. Sandra Herrman, OK "I would like to tell you that I have enjoyed Kingdom very much and am totally addicted to it. It is the best shareware game I have played." -- Carla Brandy, CA "Please do not make any more games like KINGDOM OF KROZ--I can't stop playing!" -- Ronald E.

The Super Kroz trilogy boasts new features galore. Over forty new playfield objects (like spells, traps, creatures, treasures, terrains, etc.) have been added. The three new Kroz games are: RETURN TO KROZ - Your quest for the "Crown of Kroz". TEMPLE OF KROZ - A death defying adventure for the "Holy Grail". THE FINAL CRUSADE OF KROZ - Will you discover the great mystery of Kroz? NOTE: Order all three volumes for only $20! They all have 16-color graphics (yes, 16 colors!) and a tremendous sound effects library. In each game you must navigate through dangerous chambers, solving puzzles and avoiding pitfalls. Collect gems, whips, chests, nuggets, tablets, keys and scrolls to aid your progress. These game are as much strategic as they are pure arcade fun. All Kroz games are designed to work correctly on ANY computer system, regardless of microprocessor type or speed. Although they are best played on a color system, they do have an option to be played on a monochrome system! QUOTES: The following is a review of the new Kroz games from The Software Labs catalog of shareware games: "It's pure dynamite! A unique combination of arcade action, strategy and adventure unlike any other game you've played. Some levels are puzzle oriented, which makes a great change of pace from the high action parts of the game. You'll find new terrains, traps, spells, hazards, creatures, and levels to challenge your dexterity, and sound effects galore. You'll encounter moving walls, forbidden forests, active volcanoes, bottomless pits and much more, plus plenty of options. AND, no two games will be alike! Great fun, great challenge, great action--GREAT GAME!!!" -- Software Labs Catalog "Five Stars!" (Highest rating in their system!) -- Sizzleware Catalog "Four Stars!" (Highest rating in their system!) -- Public Brand Catalog "Five Stars--As good as the best commercial programs available." -- Micro Star Catalog "Here is my check for the use of your fantastic program, thankfully you are not charging by the hour...or I would be bankrupt!. I am currently stationed in Korea, and your games have been the highlight of my tour." -- CW3 Daniel W. Evans, PA 1st Bn 5th Infantry "My family is fascinated by the Kroz series." (Family picture enclosed!) -- Isabel Goehringer, Germany The following is an actual letter from a grandmother of the young age of 64: "I have lived in Kroz for almost a month and was sorry tonight to finally find the Amulet. "It really is strange what an illness your game can be. I have found myself going over in my head a particularly difficult level right in the middle of a conversation. To tell you that I have enjoyed the challenge would be very understated. "I am a Grandmother who has traveled around the world, but found no place that was more interesting than your world of Kroz. "Please keep my address and drop me a note when you have a new game. Guess that about says it all. Best of everything in the future, I hope that you become the Agatha Christie of computer games." -- Patricia Baker, RI "P.S. I have died a million deaths!" "We REALLY enjoy your Kroz games. We also thank they are a steal at the price you ask. Keep up the excellent work!!" -- Yvonne May, TX "I teach Data Processing at the North Lawrence Area Vocation Technical Center in Bedford, Indiana. I am writing because my students found your game Kroz fascinating. They are learning to program and would like a listing of Kroz to dissect and study as a class project." -- Prof. David Leary "We have enjoyed your games IMMENSELY! Please keep us up to date on any new games you design that are as fascinating as these Kroz games have been." -- Emily Wilson & Family, NY "It's GREAT!. More challenging and addicting than any other game I've ever played, commercial games included! I definately like your style and would be interested in any more Kroz games you have." -- Susan Hanna, NH "My family and I enjoy the games immensely. I don't want to tell my students about them--they might never work on their computer science projects again! -- Dr. R. Michael Wharton York University, Canada "You have me hooked. Send me all six Kroz volumes. Thanks for making my leisure time more enjoyable." -- Pierson Jones, PA "Unique, exciting arcade-adventure game.

QUOTES: "One of the most captivating shareware games available!" -- CWI Catalog "As usual, you've outdone yourself with the new features of Lost Adventures and I'm looking forward (anxiously but quite impatiently) to the next Kroz game you create." -- Helen Bestafka, NY "Your new features completely amaze me. My friend Richard and I have had many many laughs while playing Kroz. Everytime we think we have a level figured out, up pops something new. It's just great, so keep up the great work. Sincerely hope you continue to make these Kroz games." -- John W. Clifford, IN "I have just completed your amazing game THE LOST ADVENTURES OF KROZ. The problem that I now face is that I am not willing to 'go gently into that good night' of retirement. I am not content hanging up my whip and sitting in the rocking chair with my memories. After completing all seven Kroz games, I feel as if I'm going through withdrawal without another Kroz fix to look forward to taking. Maybe I cound open up a home for old Kroz Crusaders! "If there are any Kroz creative juices in your mind, please stimulate them for just one more game. Just one more that's all I want, just one more. Then I can stop, really I can stop, but I want just one more!" -- Tonnie A.

Pharaoh's Tomb is the first adventure of Nevada Smith, an apprentice archeologist to another famous artifact hunter (do you need a hint?). Nevada's mentor has been on several successful expeditions recently, but hasn't once asked Nevada to join him. Making matter's even more painful is that Nevada has researched the location of many of his professor's greatest finds! Enough's enough. Through diligent research Nevada has discovered the location of a huge underground pyramid, containing untouched treasures beyond belief. But the ancient scrolls also warn of unspeakable dangers and traps. This is your chance to prove yourself, though, so nothing will stop you now. Three hours later you're asleep on a plane that will eventually lead to your final destination...the Pharaoh's Tomb. Pharaoh's Tomb is an arcade/adventure game set in a huge Egyptian pyramid. You will need to explore and survive 20 uniquely dangerous levels (screens) riddled with ingenious puzzles and traps. This game uses a special animation system called FAST (Fluid Animation Software Technology) which allows for flicker free movement even on the older IBM PC's. (Watch how the opening screens slide and wipe across the screen.) You will start with five lives and a few spears, which can be thrown at offending denizens that guard the pyramid. Moving walls, falling spikes, bats, mummys, and magic winds are just some of the hazards to overcome. On each level you will need to collect one or more keys to advance to the next level. And hidden on the final level will be the prize of your journey. Notable features: No two levels will have the same animated creature patrolling it, which adds greatly to the variety of the game. Sound effects are also used, but can be toggled off. Keyboard control is the only movement supported, since it was discovered during play testing that joystick movement did not allow for the precise control sometimes necessary for intricate jumps, etc. However, the keyboard controls can be configured to two alternate sets of keys. A five player permanent high score table keeps tracks of the all-time best explorers. Plus, you can save the game on any level and restore at any time. This is the first of four volumes of Pharaoh's Tomb, subtitled "Raiders of the Lost Tomb" The other three volumes are: "Pharaoh's Curse", "Temple of Terror", and "Nevada's Revenge!". The volumes should be played in sequence, since they continue the story to the final encounter. Each volume is $10, or order all four for just $25. All orders must include an extra $2 P&H. For registering you will get the newest versions, a hint sheet, and the secret cheat key code. ╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗ ╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝ █▀▀▀ █▀▀█ █ █ █▀▀▀ █▀▀▀ █▀▀█ █▀▀▀ ▀▀█▀▀ █ █ █▀▀█ █▀▀█ █ █▀▀█ █ █▀ █▀ ▀▀▀█ █ █ █▀ █ █▀▀█ █ █ █▀█▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀▀ $10 per volume, or only $25 for entire trilogy On an expedition far within the icy mountains of Norway you discover a crevice leading deep into the jagged rock. You find yourself within a vast underground empire--an enormous network of caves, passages and chambers. Local legends reveal that a famous mythological deity once ruled these peaks, could you have stumbled across the mystical ruler's kingdom? You decide to find out... Caves of Thor is a brilliant 16 color arcade/graphics game with a 4-way scrolling playfield. You'll need to explore seven huge levels for the three Symbols of Virtue: The Heart Symbol represents courage, the Female Symbol represents compassion, and the Male Symbol represents strength. These three virtues are needed to finish Caves of Thor. As you explore the empire you must overcome the many creatures that patrol it. Use your gun (unlimited bullets) to shoot creatures and creature generators. Other hazards include underground flowing streams (with currents that can drag you away!), bubbling lava pits and lakes, and the very dangerous Thor Beast, which creates creatures with devastating speed. Caves of Thor features the best music yet heard in a shareware game. Several theme songs are played during your quest, changing to complement the current situation. The music in The Thor Trilogy even rates better than most commercial games! You have the option to switch off the music, leaving just sound effects, or you can toggle all sounds off. Caves of Thor will run in any graphics mode (CGA/EGA/VGA), with 16 color screens even on CGA systems. Other notable features include a save/restore option, easy keyboard controls, a demonstration mode, permanent high score, and an easy playing cheat mode! The other two non-shareware volumes in The Thor Trilogy are: Realm of Thor and Thor's Revenge. Both of these games feature more levels, more game objects and more features than the introductory volume Caves of Thor. For example, Realm of Thor introduces the "Max Health Increaser", "Mystery Objects" and a "Creature Confusion Spell". You can order each volume of The Thor Trilogy for $10 apiece, or get all three for only $25. By getting the entire set you'll also receive the most up-to-date versions, the Hints and Secrets Sheet, the cheat mode password, and a free bonus game, usually Apogee Software's newest game release. The final volume, Thor's Revenge, wraps up the entire trilogy.

You begin on a remote mining planet with just your battered space ship and the hope that one day you'll have a job that actually pays! After an amazing discover you begin a trek that spans four planets, including a huge planetship. All to save a civilization from utter extinction--from a star ready to explode! In the Sept-Oct. 1989 issue of Shareware Magazine, Publisher Richard Peterson rated Supernova among his list of must-have "software gems", which included in all 35 programs.

In this story of riveting survival you'll discover a long forgotten undersea mystery, travel to the Earth's future, fly a shuttle to a floating city and be chased by a slobbering, three-armed creature--and that's just the believable part! QUOTES: "...as sophisticated as the best commercial adventure games by Infocom." -- Shareware Magazine (Program of the Month) "First class adventure from Apogee Software--riveting!" -- Gemini Marketing "If you've played any of Infocom's famous text games you'll notice that Beyond the Titanic is quite similar to Zork and Planetfall. And to add to the game's realism, sound effects are used throughout." -- Dave Cagle, Reviewer SW "The program allows multiword sentences instead of verb/noun commands. Play starts on the sinking Titanic, and through a series of strange and imaginative occurrences you end up...(not going to give it away!)" -- Personal Computer Magazine "As a programmer, I'm amazed that this game understands full English sentences. We've been working--unsuccessfully--on this area for a year now.

Guide magazine called Star Trek "...the most popular TV series of all time." Now we challenge your knowledge of the award winning show with a series of 10 Star Trek trivia games. Each volume has 100 multiple choice questions, and when you answer a question correctly you'll be rewarded with a "Bonus Fact". Bonus Facts are additional tidbits that even further expand your Star Trek knowledge. What type of crystal is used to power the engines of the Enterprise? What is Mr. Spock's first name? How fast is warp 2? What does the Prime Directive prevent the crew of the Enterprise from doing? Did you know that Dr. McCoy's medical instruments were actually modified salt and pepper shakers. Or that it was Leonard Nemoy who developed the idea of Mr. Spock's Vulcan nerve pinch (so as to make Spock less violent). Or that the Enterprise is 947 feet long. Or that Joan Collins, Terri Garr, and Ricardo Montalban all appeared in a Star Trek episode. Or that the Enterprise was named by Captain James T. Kirks father! It's all here in Trek Trivia. You'll also receive a secret code that lets you answer each question automatically. QUOTES: "The game moves swiftly and the challenge is great...The 100 true and false and multiple choice questions are provocative. [The bonus facts will amaze] even the most devout Trekker!" -- Shareware Magazine "I'm a Star Trek fan and these trivia games answer my prayers, thank you!" -- Buddy Frye, PA "Enclosed is my check, send me the other 9 Trek games...I'm hooked." -- Amy Maher, CT "I like the way TREK TRIVIA is played like a game, you've done a fantastic job with these programs.

Test your knowledge of the sometimes crazy English language. The English language has more words than any other, and we rarely use ten percent of them! Not only that, many words we use are consistantly used incorrectly. Example: If you perused at new book, did you... A. Read it carefully and thoroughly, or B. Just skim through it Over 80% of all Americans pick answer B, when in fact the answer is A! So if you like this kind of challenge, and don't mind the "learning experience", then you'll love Word Whiz. (It's also a great education game for high school and pre-high school students, but while they're having fun, don't let them know it's good for them, too!) ╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗ ╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝ █▀▀█ ▀▀█▀▀ █ █ █▀▀▀ █▀▀█ █▀▀▀ █▀▀█ █▀█▀█ █▀▀▀ █▀▀▀ █ █ █ █▀▀█ █▀ █▀█▀ █ ▀█ █▀▀█ █ █ █ █▀ ▀▀▀█ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ THE SUPER GAME PAK ─ Only $10 This is a new disk that's been put together to introduce you to Apogee's game line.
