PHRASE CRAZE Version 1.0
(C) Copyright Excelsior Systems 1984, 1985
A "User Supported" Program
Excelsior Systems, Inc.
P. O. Box 226
New Milford, NJ 07646
This disk contains the following programs and data files necessary
to run PHRASE CRAZE:
PHRASE.EXE
CRAZE.EXE
EXPLAIN.EXE
DATA
CMNT
RANGE
PHRASE CRAZE may be loaded and run under DOS (when the prompt A>
appears) by typing the word PHRASE and pressing the Enter
key. Complete instructions on playing PHRASE CRAZE may be obtained
after the program is loaded by following the instructions displayed
on the screen.
PHRASE CRAZE was developed for the IBM PC, and will run in a minimum
of 96K with one disk drive and a monochrome or color monitor. We
do not know of any errors in the program, but would appreciate your
writing to us if you do experience any problems with it. This
includes letting us know of any misspellings of the phrases on the
disk which, again, we are not currently aware of.
PHRASE CRAZE will also run on the PCjr with an 80 column display.
However, it should be noted that in early testing on the PCjr, an
"out of memory" error occurred under certain circumstances following
the play of a round of games. This error has not been corrected.
Additionally, some modification has been made to this early tested
version, and further testing on the PCjr has not been done. We
would appreciate being informed of any errors that might be found
when running the program on the PCjr.
Since this version of the program is "User Supported" we invite you
to try the program and freely make copies to distribute to anyone
you think might be interested. If you like the program, we request
you send us a fifteen dollar contribution to further the "User
Supported" concept, but neither you nor anyone you provide a copy
to is under any obligation to do so.
Even if you do not contribute, for whatever reason, we would still
appreciate your providing copies of the program to others so that
they may enjoy the program and pass it on to others in turn.
In lieu of a contribution, you might be interested in purchasing, for
the nominal sum of thirty dollars, an "enhanced" version of PHRASE
CRAZE that has a number of goodies added. For your thirty
dollar purchase you'll get the enhanced version of PHRASE CRAZE
that has all of the following additional features:
1. The enhanced version of PHRASE CRAZE contains the same phrases
as in this version, plus many additional phrases as a bonus.
We've added another one hundred and fifty phrases to the
enhanced version of PHRASE CRAZE to say thank you for your
support. When we send you the enhanced version of PHRASE
CRAZE we can set it to start at the phrase that follows next
after the last phrase you have played on this disk, or we can
set it to start at the first of the additional 150 phrases we
have added, or we can set it to start at the very first phrase
on the disk, whichever you prefer.
2. The enhanced PHRAZE CRAZE runs with the BASRUN.EXE module,
which we supply as part of your purchase. With the BASRUN.EXE
module, programs load much faster than with this version.
You will notice this when initially loading the program and
when one program module is chaining another. This chaining
occurs after either obtaining an explanation of how to play
the game or responding that you do not want an explanation,
after providing the names of players, and after completing a
round of play and returning to select a new choice of games.
3. Because programs run with the BASRUN.EXE module are considerably
smaller than those that do not use BASRUN.EXE, we are able to
include another program module that allows you to play the
"special multi-player game". In this game, two or more players
can each add their own set of five phrases to play against each
other. This option is described in the in-game explanation
that you can obtain after PHRASE CRAZE is loaded. Suffice it
to say here that it's a lot of fun if you give it a try.
4. We welcome any suggestions you may have for phrases that we
might add to future versions of PHRASE CRAZE. While we cannot
acknowledge or pay for any suggestions, if we do use a phrase
that you have suggested, and if you have purchased the enhanced
version for thirty dollars, we will list your name in the
credits that will be included at the beginning of the next
version of PHRASE CRAZE.
That's it. We hope you'll find that enough reason to support our
efforts on PHRASE CRAZE, with either a contribution or a purchase of
the enhanced version. Whatever you do, we would like to hear from you
with any comments or suggestions you might have.
The page following is for your convenience in contributing to the
User Supported concept, or for ordering the enhanced version of PHRASE
CRAZE, or for sending us suggested phrases for future use. Thanks!
