What's an Epic distribution site?
---------------------------------
An Epic distribution site is a BBS that:
* Features a special "Epic MegaGames" file section.
* Carries all shareware games in the Epic product line.
* Posts new Epic releases for download as soon as they're available.

find out what's new.
Epic's INTERNET mailing list: For sysops who have an Internet, CompuServe,
or Fidonet mail address, send a message to us at:
70007.1631@compuserve.com
We'll add you to our Internet mailing list and send you periodic
messages to announce new products, new releases, updates, and important
news!
---------------------
So, what else is new?
---------------------
Plenty. Thanks to Epic's new distribution partnerships, you can also
sign up your BBS as a site for:
SAFARI SOFTWARE, a young new division of Epic MegaGames. Safari will be
bringing you the latest in small, innovative, high-quality games for
your PC. Stay tuned for many interesting innovations in gaming!
GAMEBYTES MAGAZINE, an online gaming magazine dedicated to reviews,
previews, and game tips. GameBytes isn't related to Epic, but we're
working together informally to gain more distribution for GameBytes and
to bring Epic sites something new and innovative every month.
An Epic MegaGames ANSI screen (EPIC.ANS) is included in the archive along
with all Epic games. Please feel free to post this screen on your BBS
to promote your status as an Epic distribution site!

Ok, I'm ready to get started. Can I go now?
---------------------------------------------
Yes. Thanks for joining the Epic MegaGames team!
