What Is A Tommy's Toy?
Imagine aliens from outer space landing on Earth and patiently turning
your PC into a complete toy store with scores of inexpensive
easy-to-run software programs.  You have just imagined Tommy's Toys.
Why toys not games?  We don't think the PC was originally designed as
a game machine, and forcing it to compete with real game machines makes
for an expensive disappointment.  But it makes a great toy machine,
meaning it can host a galaxy of amusements that don't need to push the
limits of performance.  Not everybody has the reflexes of a teenager,
but all have minds that need play.  When you are tired of spending
money on expensive games, try our inexpensive toys expressly designed
for PCs and see if you don't get more playability for the buck.
Who Are They For?
Some earthlings go by our name and mistakenly hand this catalog to their
young children!  Don't you make this mistake too!  While some of our
toys are suitable for children as young as age 8, they are all really
designed for the kid in YOU, no matter what your age!  Yes you have a PC
in your home or office, probably for business uses, so go on and admit
you have your times when you'd like to be a kid again, and read on!
Features:
Tommy's Toys are unlike any other software on the earthling market.
They have been under development for over 10 years, and were originally
designed for the average PC configuration in use at that time, namely,
a MGA or CGA monitor, DOS, 640K RAM, and keyboard, with or without a
hard drive, mouse, sound card, joystick, CD-ROM, or VGA/SVGA with
Windows.  We found out that we can use the simplest graphics interfaces
using the high-resolution text display (b/w & color ansi) mode, and
generate all sounds direct through your PC's speaker, making the
programs small, fast, easier to program and debug, but runnable
without modifications on virtually every PC no matter how old or new,
therefore cheaper for you to buy.  Choose our delightfully-playable
Monopoly, Gin Rummy, Backgammon, Trivia, Wheel of Misfortune, and
other key toys over the competition's glitzy overpriced alternatives,
and you'll have more money for other things.
Resisting all temptations, snubbed by earthling reviewers but loved by
earthling customers, Tommy's Toys: The Original Series still releases
new titles and builds up a loyal following while competitors come and go!
And, Tommy's Toys concentrates on classics, toys that don't grow stale
but continue to delight year after year, all solid additions to your
personal software toy chest.  Nobody can duplicate the look/feel,
price/performance, and personality of a Tommy's Toy!  Tommy is a
genius! (ha ha, almost forgot ourselves!)
Why DOS only?
Some customers ask why we don't have Windows versions of our toys.
Well, we do!  You can run our toys in a DOS Box under Windows.  Ditto
OS/2.
How to Run:
Tommy's Toys are very easy to run and use.  They typically consist of
a "DOC" (documentation/instructions ascii text) file and an "EXE"
(binary executable) file, which you can see with a DOS file directory
DIR command such as the following:
DUMBCHE  DOC      9917  12-19-95  9:31a
DUMBCHE  EXE    100635  12-19-95  9:31a
YUCKY    DOC      9750  11-27-95  7:04p
YUCKY    EXE     76645  11-27-95  7:04p
TOMMATH  DOC      8334  12-13-95 11:32a
TOMMATH  EXE     72819  12-13-95 11:32a
This is a directory list for Tommy's Dumb & Dumber Chess (#TM-160),
Tommy's Yucky Lucky You! (#TM-163), and Tommy's Math Tooter (#TM-164).
To run DUMBCHE.EXE, just type DUMBCHE at the DOS prompt.  To run
YUCKY.EXE just type YUCKY at the DOS prompt.  And to run TOMMATH.EXE
you do what? (ha ha)
Toy Commands (DOS calling parameters):
Most toys let you run them with sound turned off by adding a calling
parameter of S, for example "DUMBCHE S" at the DOS prompt.  A parameter
of M forces the toy into mono mode, and a parameter of * skips the
startup show if any.
Instruction Files:
You can print out the DOC files on your printer if you want, by typing
PRINT DUMBCHE.DOC (etc.) at the DOS prompt.  On some PCs you might have
to type COPY DUMBCHE.DOC LPT1: instead.  Or you can read them from within
the toy program itself by pressing a function key -- an onscreen legend
(usually at the bottom of the screen) tells you which function key is
for help/instructions.  To exit a Tommy's Toy and get back to DOS,
usually you can hit the ESC key, or press a function key -- again, an
onscreen legend will tell you which function key is for quit/exit.
Executive Shell:
To make things even easier we provide a free program called Tommy's
Toy Shoppe <tm>, which searches the current subdir on your disk for
any/all Tommy's Toys you have stored there, and displays a menu of toys
ready for play.  To run a toy you then just type its number (e.g. 160
for Tommy's Dumb & Dumber Chess), then either hit the Space Bar to read
the instructions, or hit the Enter Key to start the toy running
(type toy commands if any such as S first, then press the Enter
Key again).  The program is called TOMSHOP.DOC/TOMSHOP.EXE.
The Text Mode Product List
Text or character-graphics mode works on all DOS PCs and clones,
mono or color.  It is surprisingly effective for toys, and our first
generation toys use it exclusively.  Why pay extra dollars for
megabytes of graphics?  Currently we have 168 text mode toys for sale.
You can buy anything from one toy to the Awesome Astounding Deluxe Toy
Chest containing all 168 toys.  And the price is right every day at
Tommy's Toys: sticking to alien tradition, we charge the same price
for every toy!  Just $6 for 1; $12 for 2; or $5 each for 3 or more!
And several toy package bargains which get the per-toy prices even
lower!  What earthling company can match our low low prices?
Please read this entire product list before making your purchase
decision because Tommy wants you to have lots of fun.
Notes:
    o All toys will run in 640K of memory on an IBM PC or compatible
    with DOS version 2.1 or higher (toys #141, #160 require DOS 3.x
    or higher); PC Jr. has limited memory and is not guaranteed to
    work.  The text mode toys work with a mono adapter card with
    monochrome monitor, or color graphics adapter card with color
    monitor (Hercules-compatible mono cards are not guaranteed to
    work, but probably will).  Some toys can make use of a mouse,
    but none require it.
    o All programs provided on 5.25 inch OR 3.5 inch diskettes,
    either DS/DD or DS/HD, your choice (3.5 DS/DD is the default).
    Diskettes are NOT copy-protected.  All programs (c) Copyright

    DS/HD is 1.2 MB; 3.5 in. DS/DD is 760KB; 3.5 in. DS/HD is 1.44
    MB).
    SPECIAL NOTE: You can now order your toys in multiple formats at
    the same time, just add 20% to the price of your order for each
    extra format.  This offer does not apply to demo disks, to items
    limited to one type of format, or to any order less than $6.00.
    o Diskette media warranted to be free of defects.  Defective
    (unreadable) diskettes will be replaced free of charge if
    reported within 90 days of purchase.  Note: other than this, all
    programs are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, and,
    because of the type of product, no refunds can be given,
    although, of course, we are nice guys and will do what we can to
    satisfy our customers at our own discretion.

Tommy is an alien from outer space who makes toys for PCs: he's an
alien toymaker, like Santa Claus was before him!  Where did he come
from and what is his story?
Dakota!  South Dakota!  Million of acres in 4 majestic parks surround
you, and then towering Mt. Rushmore, and Crazy Horse!
His spaceship skipped over all that! (ha ha)
Colorado!  Land of the snow-topped Rockies, nice and high-up, and a good
landing strip on the east slope around Denver!  That's where he landed!
Way back in the 1980s.
OK, crashed!  Now his spaceship is broke, and so was he and his
companions.  Was help on the way for thousands of unemployed aliens
from outer space?  No, in truth the U.S. government denies the existence
of extra-terrestrials, so Tommy had to go into business and enter the
earthling economy without causing any undue interference with your
culture.
That's why he went into toys.  Toys don't hurt anybody, they seldom
offend, and usually give people pleasure; and software toys are better
than the kind made out of metal, wood, and plastic because they are just
1s and 0s, they don't pollute very much, and spread electronically like
Tommy was used to in outer space, and programming is something that
Tommy and his band of aliens can do very well.  Unlike earthlings he
didn't want to manufacture PCs or game machines, so he decided to make
his toys work on existing PCs, even though they were designed originally
for serious business uses and not the silliness business.
Ergo, Tommy's Toys!  Introduced slowly, cautiously, a few dozen here, a
few dozen there, they now number in the scores, and zillions of
earthlings are having so much fun Tommy is pleased very well!
What is Tommy's last name?  He doesn't have one!  How come his name
sounds like an earthling one?  He would like to ask you earthlings
that (ha ha)!  (Actually his name is spelled with three M's but he
earthicized it).  Is your name Tommy too?  Then pretend they're yours,
why not?  Is your name something else?  Then remember, Tommy is your
friend from outer space, he only wants you to have fun, he's not into
earthling affairs, relax!
What does Tommy do with all that money earthlings send him?  Well,
Tommy's bearish on Earth (ha ha)!  Come invest in Earth, Tommy said,
and don't be late!  With 5 billion eager consumers, Earth is one of
space's great untapped markets!  Rest assured all your earthling money
is recycled into the earthling economy, and used to feed, clothe, and
house aliens and improve their toy shop so they can reach you better
and give you even more fun than you paid for!  Tommy's Toys wants to be
your only galactic toy company, well into the next millennium, and if
the electronic billboards invite you to test the best from the outer
space west, believe them!
How old is Tommy?  Well, to him all earthlings are kids, does that
help you?  And he has no plans for changing (ha ha)!
So get out your PC and play play play!  Don't quit, ever!  Stop being
serious and start being silly, believe us it's catching!
Enter the human brain research laboratory of Tommy's Toys, and see the
future:
                             T O Y S !
KIND REMARKS FROM EARTHLINGS
=============================
  Tommy's Toys, P.O. Box 11261, Denver, CO 80211 USA.  BBS: 303-433-2648
  "After spending hours and hours on the PC, I have yet to play all of
   the games included in the <complete toy chest>.  I believe that your
   planet must be one of the most generous in the Galaxy as there is not
   a company on earth that could offer such a diverse amount of
   interplanetary games for such a small amount of earthly currency."
    -- R.D., Denver, CO
  "I just recently purchased Tommy's 21 from an airport in Texas.  My
   husband and I have really enjoyed the game.  We love Las Vegas and
   have discovered we are gamblers at heart.  Your game has increased
   our skill in Blackjack and hopefully when we go to Vegas we will
   make a 'bundle'.  However, since that is only once a year - your
   games will help contain our urge." -- S.W., Wharton, TX
  "YOUR TOYS ARE GREAT! I am currently playing them about 3 hours every
   day, and wish that I could play more...I only wish that I had enough
   room on my pitiful 20MB hard drive for all of them."
   -- B.M., Reston, VA
  "Dear Tommy Toys, I just love your computer games! I really love
   tic-tac-toe.  I have a computer at home which I play your games on!
   If you want to write back my address is.... P.S. Please try to write
   back and try to make another computer game!  Thank you very much!"
   --A.D., Palm Harbor, FL
  "The version of Cribbage which I bought from you...was head and
   shoulders above any other computer cribbage game....You may be
   interested to know that I've played against the program regularly,
   and that the score is now: Program 356, Me 346."
   --G.B., Bronson, MI
  "Thank you for giving me a chance to express how much I enjoy the game
   Tommy's Wheel of Misfortune.  My family plays it and every one is
   always wanting to play.  It is nice that 6 players are available.
   There are 6 people in my family.  I have told my friends about this
   game and some have bought it."
   --M.R., Salt Lake City, UT
  "I really think you guys are doing a good job.  I own a few of your
   disks and I really like them.  A Tommy follower."
   --S.M., Anacortes, WA
  "Not very often do I write a fan letter to a supplier.  Certainly not
   related to computer industry.  But I want you to know that over a year
   ago I bought your Blackjack/Rummy at the Union Station in Washington
   D.C.  I'm a complete computer novice and my spindly 286 with WP 5.1+
   'n everything goes to waste, just about, but I have had a perfect ball
   with your Blackjack!  ... You did a marvelous job creating this."
   -- R.B., Lompoc, CA
  "I have always admired Tommy's Toys, especially liked Spaceship
   Control Panels!  Great sense of humor, fun, easy to use and
   enjoyable programs!  I hope you are prospering from your software!"
   -- J.N., Ashland, OR
  "We love your programs, specifically "HWORDS", "SAUCER", and
   "HANGMAN"! ... May the great bird of the galaxy bless your hearts,
   or other similar organs, or whatever your species of aliens use
   as hearts."
   -- T.J.B., Bronson, FL
  "My family and I love your "toys"!  They're great fun for users of
   the old XT, like us!! ... Thanks again for keeping users of
   "primitive" hardware in mind!"
   -- B.C., Skaneateles, NY
          SOME OF THE SILLY QUESTIONS WE GET AT TOMMY'S TOYS
          ==================================================
                        and our answers...
(c) Copyright 1989-1996 by Tommy's Toys.  All Rights Reserved.
Tommy's Toys, P.O. Box 11261, Denver, CO 80211 U.S.A.
1. Why are your toys programmed by aliens from outer space?
     We were apartment hunting and the rent seemed cheap enough.
Tommy felt sorry for primitive earthling IBM PC owners, so...
2. What is a gorilla ball?
     IBM PC ASCII character codes 1 and 2 are cute little happy
face characters (black and white face gorilla balls) that remind
Tommy of his travels, hence we make extensive use of them in the
text mode toys.  (Please petition IBM on our behalf to change
their manuals to keep up with galactic usage.)
3. Why only text mode programs?
     Because that is what everybody can run right now (the lowest
common denominator for the PCs installed on planet Earth).  We
have graphics mode toys in development for the 1990s.  But text
mode works great for the toys we chose for it, classics all.  Look
at all those poor earthling companies that have to charge you
$25, $30, and up for one graphics mode toy.
4. Why are some of your programs similar to shareware/P.D. ones
available from other companies?
     Some are takeoffs on such, but the comparison ends there.
Ours WORK, the usual earthling limitations on performance,
display, exiting, sound effects, speed, etc., have been removed,
and they have all the reliable trademark features of a Tommy's
Toy including all that advanced alien engineering behind the
screen.  Like typical aliens, we take an idea and then make it
better and cheaper.  Of course, as a galactic toy store outpost
in a ragtag fugitive fleet we have to have be self-sufficient
and have a version of everything, earthling included.
5. Where did you get your logo?
     This might be Tommy himself.  No, we don't sell baby food.
6. Why don't you copy-protect your disks?
     For the same reason we didn't copy-protect AIDS.
7. Why no chess playing algorithm, only board management system?
     We can't sell it for $6 and less yet.  But we're working
on it.
8. How do you support your programs?
     We aliens from outer space like to get letters from
earthlings.  If you find any defects in our toys then write
our Bug Hunt department and tell us the program name, DOS date,
and what seems to be wrong (no we don't check to see if you are
on our official customer list): if you are the first earthling to
report a given bug in a released product, we will gladly send you
a free Toy Pak of your choice (please specify desired Toy Pak at
time of bug report or it becomes our choice); if you are the 2nd
through 10th person to report the bug, we will send you a Toy
Disk of our choice.  Even if you don't win a free prize, we still
might send you, at our option, a free update (we can't guarantee
it or we'd have to raise prices).  Sometimes we send you free
updates without asking!  And you can always order an update of
any toy which you have previously purchased for only $3 (further
details come with purchase).  Compare this with other companies
who charge you $50 for the toy, then another $5, $10, or $15 for
an update to correct THEIR bugs.
9. Are your toys mainly for kids, women, men, or what?
     Earthlings, any size or shape, as long as they have some
brain waves and a temperature of some sort (see next question).
10. Why do you say your toys are only for kids?  I have a masters
in English and was stymied by some of your crossword puzzles.
     Maybe we should define our terms: if you're younger than 250
or so you're still a kid where we come from; some younger
earthlings who still play grownup have to work a long ways up a
corporate ladder to realize that their boss in the top office has
been playing with our toys all along.
11. Why don't I see any of your advertisements in the trade
magazines?  You have more to offer at a lower price than every-
body else I've seen.
     We landed on earth with the plan of selling every earthling
gobs of toys without advertisers selling us tons of advertising
space first.  Besides, there are no neat buttons to push in a
magazine.  Instead we drum up new business by giving away
complete, unretouched, shareware-authorized copies of selected
toys (with registration reminder screens) through several shareware
copying companies and bulletin boards to lucky earthlings, who then
pick whom to share us with, to the benefit of all; currently about
90% of our products are authorized for shareware distribution under
certain conditions (of course we retain the copyrights.)  After using
a shareware-authorized toy for 21 days, you must pay for it though,
we know you can be fair.  You get a free replacement copy without the
reminder screens too, that helps (ha ha).
12. Do you accept dealer inquiries?
     Yes, send for info.  We sell to computer, software, game,
toy, and bookstores.  P.S. to customers: tell your favorite
store about us so they quit dragging their feet.  Tell them you
want equal time for aliens from outer space on their shelves.
13. If you're from outer space as you claim, why do you work so
hard to make such silly programs (instead of solving all the
world's problems)?
     We dynamited our planet for laughs long ago so we don't have
any reason to be serious, but we have to work to keep fit.  As
Captain Kirk put it, "The more complex the mind, the greater need
for the simplicity of play"  ("Shore Leave" episode).  We leave
seriousness to earthlings, we grew out of it long ago in a galaxy
far away.
14. Why don't your programs have versions numbers like everybody
else's?
     We sometimes update a program on a weekly basis, so who
wants to hear about version 5.11a(2), etc?  Think of a program as
a TV show that is canned and shipped on disk: the DOS directory
date obtained from the DIR command IS the version number.  If you
play with a toy alot, just wait 12 months or so and reorder it
and it will likely have evolved.  Like Colorado weather, if you
don't like it just wait an hour and it will change (ha ha,
not that often).
15. Why are your instruction files in plain ascii text format?
Can't people alter them?
     We purposely left the instruction files in this form so you
can add notes to yourself.  To be sure you have the original
instruction file you have to buy your toys from us and not rely
on a copy pirated by a friend (tsk tsk).
16. Can I get the source code for some of your toys?
     A good magician doesn't explain his tricks, and we believe
in the Prime Directive anyway.
17. How can you sell your toys so cheap?  I just paid $39.95 for
[an earthling] video game that wasn't half as good as your Poker
Parlor.
     Aren't you complaining to the wrong company?  You can have
15 of ours for the same price as 1 or 2 of theirs because aliens
work cheap, and we don't spend big bucks advertising.  If you
think you paid too little, send us a love offering to ease your
conscience (we'll take stocks, bonds, cash, gold, jewels, real
estate or Reese's Pieces, even M&M's -- ha ha, just kidding, the
tan ones give us hives).
18. Why do you sell all your toys for the same price?  It seems
to me that such masterpieces as Tommy's Trek, Tommy's Trivia,
etc., should be priced much higher than such infantile amusements
as the Gorilla Ball programs, Tommy's Stompers, Tommy's Cat &
Mouse, etc. ... but even they are priced too low.
     In the best alien tradition, all the rides in our amusement
park cost the same: there is no "best" product as everybody has
a different taste, and we don't want to use prices to steer you
to our prejudices.  If we charged a more earthling-like $$price
for each toy, the Toy Chest would run in the thousands of dollars
and only the rich could afford it, so hurry up and order one
before we get greedy and change our minds.  Not to mention that
every toy is really an open-ended project, so that the more
popular a toy gets, the more we add to it.
19. I recently purchased just 3 toys and have spent over a month
obsessed with them, missing many of my favorite TV shows to spend
more time on them.  There must be many more like me.  Are we
[earthlings] supposed to get hypnotised by your large line of
neat inexpensive toys and spend all our time playing with them?
Is this a sneaky alien plot to take over our planet like the
Greeks did with the Trojans?
     Please, aliens just like to have fun.
20. If you are really from outer space, how come you aren't rich?
     Like many aliens we arrived on your teeming shores broke
and looking to work cheap.  Tommy really appreciates your
business as toys are his only income and Reese's Pieces aren't
free.
21. Are you really a bunch of earthlings pretending to be aliens
like Keebler and its "elves"?
    If we are, how come you earthlings aren't giving us any
competition?  Next thing you skeptics will be telling us there
was no Clark Kent.
22. Why do you aliens need our earthling money in the first
place?  Why only ask for U.S. dollars?
     Because Tommy bought the American dream and wants to be a
rich American toycoon.
23. If I don't have the money for the Toy Chest right now, can
I make payments?
     You can get credit for any products purchased in the 24
month period before your Toy Chest purchase, just enter your
purchase total on the credit line of the order form.  Better yet,
just be a good bughunter and earn the whole Deluxe Toy Chest with
bug reports, we love to give toys away! (just give us a reason).
24. How am I supposed to choose from the long list of toys when I
just want to sample your line?
     That's really a tough problem, Earthling.  You'll just have
to make some silly decision.  Why not start with catalog number 1
and work your way up?  Or try your lucky numbers, birthdate, or
measurements.  At our prices you can afford to experiment so why
not buy a toy you really think you'll >>not<< like?  We get some
of our best thank you letters this way.
25. Why only programs for the IBM PC?  Why not for Macintosh and
Atari as well?
     After scouting your situation, we went where we were needed
the most.  Now, we don't have the hands to spare.
26. How could you learn to speak English so well if you're not
from this planet?
     TV carries a long ways in space ("My English it must be
terrible").
27. Why don't you put fancy packaging on your toys and sell them
in Radio Shacks and K-Marts?
     We don't have millions of upfront money to stimulate the
demand and pay for business expansion like Nintendo & co.  But if
there are any rich earthling fatcats out there who wouldn't mind
putting up ten million or so, let's talk (ha ha).
28. Do any of your programs accept signals from a joystick?
     No, but after we get enough requests we'll consider
enhancing them; since they were designed for the plain vanilla
DOS PC with standard keyboard, and since joystick adapters cost
so much, you'd be better off buying more toys instead.
29. Why do you keep sending me your demo disk every time I write
for your catalog?
     Because your earthling upbringing has biased you to think of
catalogs as coming printed on tree parts, you didn't understand
that the demo disk IS the catalog.  We can't imagine why you
would be interested in our toys if you don't have a computer
to operate them on, hence a demo disk is the perfect medium for
the catalog.  And all you have to do is type go.
30. Why are the descriptions of the toys in your catalog so
short?
     They are just the right length.  Cleverly describing 100,000
bytes of code in a few words is an alien pastime.  Compare to the
multi-page brochures describing an earthling software product and
see why we're from an advanced civilization.  Besides, describing
too much takes all the fun away of discovering it yourself -- if
you don't come to trust us we'll never be friends, Tommy would
never let it be released unless he had fun with it.
31. How can I keep getting news on updates and new toy releases
without buying a Toy Chest?
     Just order a demo disk every 12 months or so, Tommy is
hesitant about flooding your mailbox with catalogs and literature
like earthling companies do.
32. Do you really believe in New Age mysticism, and, if not, why
do you carry tarot, horoscopes, I Ching, etc.?
    Get out of the nebula!  You can play with these neat toys
without believing in anything.  We're sure that aliens from
stars farfaraway believe their fate is controlled by the stars as
seen from your rock in space, and/or your mostly barren planets.
33. How many are you?  Are there female as well as male aliens in
your band?  How old is Tommy?
     We're naturally shy to discuss such things with outworlders.
34. How come the government still says there aren't any extrater-
restrials?
     Government officials can't be caught playing with toys or
they'd be discharged.
35. Did you have anything to do with the TV series "Alf", the
movie "Alien Nation", or did the writers hear about you first?
    Dissolve in sea water?  Fricasee cats?  Give us a break.
36. Will playing with your toys cause my kids to lose interest in
academic studies?
    No, probably the opposite, although they may have trouble
getting into graduate school before puberty.  The more you know
and the greater your intellect the more fun our toys become.
We're what the golden age of TV was supposed to be like.
37. Why do you put loose playing cards, play money, etc., in with
your disks?
    To remind you that our toys don't get broken or worn-out
like the primitive physical earthling kind (given that you make
backup copies).  We won't admit to any other reasons right now,
like secret alien messages from outer space, psychic predictions
of the stock market, or any other theories.
38. Do you sell your cute little aliens or only the toys they
make?
     We'll pretend we didn't hear this question.
39. My friend is psychic and she tells me that one day you are
going to take every earthling who ordered a Toy Chest away on a
giant space ship to see unspecified sights.
     If she is so psychic she wouldn't have said unspecified.
40. Are your toys being released so cheap to us earthlings
because you are really toying with us, like insects?
     You don't work for Atari do you?
41. How can I meet Tommy?  I think I'm in love.
     Tommy is a recluse and doesn't grant interviews.  But he
says thanks for the compliment, he loves you too.  And thanks for
the marriage proposal, he'll add it to the pile.
42. What do you mean "dynamited your planet for laughs"?  Is
Earth next?
     No, but we could work it in (just kidding).
43. Why don't you expand the size of the cards in your Canasta
program to the same size as in Hearts?
     The text characters used to display the suit and value are
the same size in either display, the only difference is the
amount of white space, so if the characters are too small to
start with, get better glasses and/or a better monitor.
44. What language do you use to program your toys?
     Tommytran, an alien language much in vogue outside your
nebula of the woods (ha ha).
45. Why doesn't Tommy's Crosswords contain a provision for
printing puzzles out on a printer -- I want to distribute my
puzzle in our school newsletter?
     Because the trees might demand a provision for tattooing
them on human skin, and we don't want to get into politics.
46.  In a Wheel of Misfortune release, I came upon "Taco Tucker
at Eddy's Tasty Taco Tavern."  Who and what are they?
     Watch old reruns of Laugh-In.
47. Do you have any special policies for site licenses, etc., for
schools that wish to purchase your software?  We think your Wheel
of Misfortune could be used to advantage in our classrooms.
     If you want a bunch of kids to be able to play with our toys
in your class, you must purchase 1 copy for each kid.  If you
send in the combined order with each kid's name on it, and are
ordering for 10 or more, then the toys are only $3 each rather
than the usual $5.  We will send you the diskettes partitioned
per kid (e.g., if 3 toys per kid, each diskette will have 3 toys
if there's room, or 2 toys on 1 diskette and the other toy on a
2nd diskette).

48.  A small question.  Now that I have ordered everything you
have, what will I get if I send in a bug report and win a free
     A free toy.
49. I read in National Inquirer that Tommy is really an earthling
beer truck driver who captured some stranded aliens and makes
them breed and work for him in a secret sweatshop while he grows
rich.
     They must have us confused with Amway (ha ha -- we are all
quite happy thank you).
50. Is your owner's real name Tommy Toy?  A Chinese guy?
     No, but Tommy loves Kung Pao shrimp like the next Chinese guy.
51. Prove you're really aliens from outer space.
     Show us yours first.  Another day, earthling.

cat #. title    description       We've got the toys, earthlings!
1M. TOMMY'S TREK.  Imagine the mainframe Trek of the 60's
    re-created, with closed-loop simulation and a complete autopilot
    added, and enhanced with color and sound effects so that the
    popular game jumps out of the screen at you.  So exciting you
    won't want to quit!  Nostalgic.  Don't confuse it with inferior
    Earthling substitutes.  (Not to be confused with Star Trek, a
    registered trademark of Paramount Pictures Corp.)
2M. TOMMY'S SEAWOLF.  Mock-serious submarine cockpit simulator for
    harassing enemy shipping lanes.  Sonar display, torpedoes, SAMs,
    weather effects, enemy ASW helis and subs.  Good enough to make

    Shoot down incoming RVs before they nuke your silo.  Learn touch
    typing real quick.

5A. TOMMY'S PALACE.  Raid the palace of the Dragon King
    room-by-room and shoot it out with his men.  A game of
    psychological leadership, daring, and panache, not to mention
    tactics, reflexes, and concentration of fire- power.  Special
    thanks to ex-Presidents Ferdinand Marcos, Idi Amin, and Baby Doc
    Duvalier for valuable ideas (no offense boys).
6A. TOMMY'S CAT & MOUSE.  A maze game for split personalities.
    Truly infantile.  Watch the little mouse solve the maze for you;
    solve it yourself; try to sneak past cats; or become a cat and
    chase mice.
7A. TOMMY'S GORILLA BALLS.  For those who like passive resistance.
    A really silly arcade game, gets you in the mood for our others.
    If you see any hidden sexual connotations in this game you must
    have a dirty mind.

    Some games last for hours.  Save/restore capability included.
9A. TOMMY'S AIR RAID.  Defend the city against a night attack.  All

     with complete data management functions (it does not play chess
     itself): enter, save, replay (not just restore) games complete
     with on-screen notes and user designed sound effects.  Backstep
     or undo backsteps with a single keystroke.  Comes with several
     neat games ready to replay.  Great for a chess club to publish
     their entire tournament on diskette.
16A. TOMMY'S GORILLA BALL PYTHONS.  Can you stop the slithering?
17A. TOMMY'S GORILLA BALL RAMPARTS.  Defend the castle against an
     enemy siege by gorilla ball soldiers.  Reminiscent of English
     Civil War.
18M. TOMMY'S SAUCER.  An astounding flying saucer cockpit mockup:
     turn your PC into a flying saucer cockpit for a few bucks.
     Designed by someone who's been there (run it with the lights
     out, b.y.o.  alien costume).
19A. TOMMY'S EGG.  You are an egg.  Your mother laid you in mid-air

     squares, with all kinds of new pieces such as Duke, Earl, and
     Cannon.  Board management system only (program has all the
     features of Tommy's Chess Set).  Find a friend who's bored with
     Chess and start a match.  Warning: This astoundingly complex
     game is for the few (we still don't know anybody who's actually
     finished a game yet)!
27A. TOMMY'S BALLOON.  Drop bombs on enemy laser cannons.  Very
     infantile like you like it.
28A. TOMMY'S PADDLES.  Your paddle against ours.
29C. TOMMY'S PATIENCE.  Play Solitaire on the computer: Accordion,
     Klondike, Canfield, Scorpion.  Cards aplenty.  Note: this
     program won't work on PCs with only 256K of RAM.
30B. TOMMY'S CHECKERS SET.  All the features of Tommy's Chess Set,
     for serious Checkers players.  Note: this program does not play
     checkers itself, it only implements the board and rules on your
     PC.

     to play Old Maid with the computer!  Also included: Concentration
     (Memory) with 9 difficulty levels.
32A. TOMMY'S HYPERDRIVE.  Shift your PC into hyperdrive.  Hot to
     trot.  This is our most popular arcade game, probably because
     it is so screamingly noisy and offensive.
33A. TOMMY'S JAMMER.  A souped-up racer vs.  jammer game for
     hotshots.
34U. TOMMY'S SHOW AND TELL.  A-maze yourself.  Beats an aquarium.

     simple until you paint yourself in a corner.

     roulette wheel.
37CG. TOMMY'S TWENTY-ONE.  Play Blackjack against the house with
      this nifty program, similar to the blackjack programs found in
      casinos.  Handles up to 19 decks at once in the shoe.  Card
      counting mode, automatic carryover of your pot between runs.

49DG. TOMMY'S DICE.  A paradise of 10 dice games: Craps, Dice 21,
      Liar Dice, Barbudi, Poker Dice, Chuck-A-Luck, 4-5-6, more.

51A.  TOMMY'S PYRAMID.  Steal the high priest's rattle.
52A.  TOMMY'S DOG-EAT-DOG.  A favorite on death row.  Best
      appreciated by those who have had a run-in with the court
      system.
53A.  TOMMY'S GORILLA BALL GAUNTLET.  A long-running favorite.
      Something like a laid-back Centipede with more emphasis on
      strategy than reflexes.
54A.  TOMMY'S MARBLE.  Don't blink (or you'll go marbles).
55CG. TOMMY'S TUXEDO.  Put on your tux and play Baccarat, Chemin de

      features a shocking text-mode Cancan.

      our stupidest game.
57SG. TOMMY'S SHELL GAME.  Where did the little pea go?
58CG. TOMMY'S POKER PARLOR.  Draw and Stud with variations (Spit in
      the Ocean, Wild Widow, Shotgun).  2 to 7 handed (computer
      plays all hands but yours).  Habit-forming.
59S.  TOMMY'S ROTO REPEATER.  Not just for Simple Simons.  Explains
      where "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" came from.
60W.  TOMMY'S TRIVIA.  What color are Mr.  Rogers' sneakers?  Take
      an alien dare with this meister program.  Over 4000 questions
      on all subjects: History, Sports, Entertainment, Weird Science
      and Technology, Politics, Geography.  Neat game format makes
      the $40 Trivia Fever look sick.  Why fumble with flash cards?
      Use your Trivial Pursuit board for a dashboard protector.
      Play EIGHT ways, the first 4 solo against a high score file
      and the last 4 against another player or team: Trivia IQ (like
      in shopping malls), 50 Questions, Beat the Clock, Jeopardy
      Style, Double Dare, Volleyball, Tic-Tac-Toe (Hollywood Squares
      style), and Fact or Rumor (Rodeo Drive style).
61SB. TOMMY'S HALMA.  Inscrutable.  Like Chinese Checkers only played
      on a 16x16 square board.  Play against computer or another human.

62S.  TOMMY'S PEGS.  A.k.a.  Mastermind.  Make it or break it.
63S. TOMMY'S SALVO.  Can you sink our battleship?  Just like the
     classic version often found in toy stores.
64B. TOMMY'S MILL.  A.k.a.  Merrills, this ancient board game,
     similar to tic- tac-toe but with triple the options, has been
     found inscribed on the steps of the Acropolis, buried with
     Viking remains, and mentioned in Shakespeare under the name
     Nine Men's Morris ("Midsummer Night's Dream").  Almost
     forgotten by earthlings until a world championships was staged
     in Hutton-le-Hole, England, in 1988, we aliens always did like
     it.
65S. TOMMY'S TOWERS OF HANOI.  The definitive version.  See why
     they burp after dinner in China.
66C. TOMMY'S SIXTY SIX.  A neat 2-hand card game based on Bezique &
     Pinochle, with a simplified form of melding and marriage, and
     directed trick-taking of the Skat variety.  Said to have been
     invented in 1652 at an inn at Paderborn in Westphalia, Germany,
     and now popular in the U.S.  too, it is reeking with tradition.
     Play against the computer, or watch it play against itself.
67C. TOMMY'S GIN RUMMY.  The program that is making Gin Rummy
     fanatics out of legions of earthlings.  Play against the
     computer, who is also Mr.  Music.  Implements Standard,
     Oklahoma, Gin, and Tommy's own Space Cowboy versions, with
     optional Hollywood (3 games at a time) scoring.  Manual or
     automatic sorting of your hand to take the tedium out of the
     preliminaries.  Become a seven-day Wander with this neat
     program.
68A. TOMMY'S GORILLA BALL BABIES.  The bouncing kind.  You see, the
     Gorilla Ball Nursery is on fire and you man the net.
69A.  TOMMY'S ROCKS.  The sky is falling ...  on your head.
70A. TOMMY'S FLIPOUT.  A pinball machine with multiple characters.

     Broncomania from living in Denver).
71A. TOMMY'S GORILLA BALL TRAIN.  Will crack you up.
72A. TOMMY'S MOLE.  Dig in and carve out a high score.
73S. TOMMY'S TIC TAC TOE.  Two and three dimensional versions.  You
     against the computer.
74A. TOMMY'S I-POINT.  Defend the point at infinity.
75B. TOMMY'S BACKGAMMON.  Will beat you backwards and forwards.
     Play against computer or another human.  Standard, Dutch, Snake,
     and Acey-Deucey versions.  Auto game save/restore.  It is subversive
     to sell this toy so cheap.
76W. TOMMY'S HANGMAN.  So silly you ought to be hanged for buying
     it.
77B. TOMMY'S AWARI.  The ancient African stick and bean game.  Easy
     to learn but challenging to play well.  And it talks.

 Game Type   A=arcade, B=board, C=cards, D=dice/dominoes, G=gambling,
   Codes     M=mission vehicle simulator, P=psych(olog)ical, S=skill,
             T=text adventure, U=?, W=word/knowledge, Z=sports
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Catalog numbers for the Next Generation toys are NG-nnn, where nnn = 001,
002, etc.
For example, Tommy's Space Weenies is #NG-001 and it is an arcade game

1A. TOMMY'S SPACE WEENIES (NG-001)
  Test your skill and try to qualify for a free spaceship ride (ha
ha).  A neat game for your PC, with lots of funny artwork.
  Also requires a mouse to operate.
2B. TOMMY'S HEX (NG-002)
  The game of Hex is played on a square board of hexagonal cells.  The
object is to be the first to form an unbroken path of stones of your own
color from your side of the board to the other.  It can be learned almost
instantly but as play progresses you will discover many delightful twists
and turns.  In Tommy's Hex you can select the board size as anything from
4 x 4 to 11 x 11.

TOMMY'S DELUXE TOY CHEST I

-------------------------------

**of the sixth kind**
     Tommy's Awesome Astounding Deluxe Toy Chest I consists of
HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT
 (168) text mode Tommy's Toys (Toy Paks I-XI+)
stuffed onto the diskette media of your choice -- OVER FIFTEEN MILLION
BYTES IN ALL -- and packaged in a handsome diskette storage chest
along with assorted doodads (e.g. cards, dice, dominoes), all for only
$450.00 (postpaid in U.S.A.; outside U.S. add $50).
     When's the last time you went out and bought a software package
with even five diskettes in it?  Now try and imagine a whole chest
bulging with a hundred-plus QUALITY toy programs, all for just a few
hundred earth dollars, probably the best buy on earth at this
primitive stage of its galactic evolution.
     But what will it do for you?  Plenty!  This time you can live
your childhood RIGHT -- after you are supposedly grown up!
Why, by the time you have mastered all the controls, displays,
rules, strategies, puzzles, trivia questions, and forbidden
secrets from outer space in these neat toys you will be ready
for your Bachelors in Galactic Gameology with a Minor in
Toyology Silly Cum Laude.  (From there you might go on to a
professional degree in Toyonics, a research career in
Sillyoncology, or a service-oriented field such as Sillyatrics.
Why one day Tommy might even come and recruit you to be a Toy
Elf in our secret alien workshops located in Denver, Colorado,
where you can live the higher life of pure cerebral silliness
after attaining to hyperintelligence and a knowledge of touch
typing.) What a bargain, say what?
FREE BONUSES!
    -------------
    Tommy's Card Pak, Tommy's Wheel of Misfortune Pak, Tommy's
Crosswords Pak, Tommy's Trivia Pak, Tommy's Hidden-Word Puzzle Pak,
Tommy's Little Secret Disk, and a free shareware game pak all
included FREE.  PLUS, a free copy of a famous "Hoyle" (paperback
ed.) so you can bone up on the rules and strategies for over 200
games.
    Who else offers you such an awesome amount of challenging silliness
anywhere on earth?
    WHY BUY TOMMY'S TOY CHEST?
    --------------------------
   Because this is a material world and you are a material
earthling; life is short and there are only so many things you can
do for the first time.  Like your first date, your first car.  Do
you remember where you were when Kennedy was shot?  How about when
the first earthling human landed on the moon (what was that moving
in the shadows just beyond camera range)?  What can we say, here's
another first that you will never forget: where you were when you
received your first Tommy's Toy Chest and had your first close
encounters of the sixth kind.  And you don't have to make any
personal visits to Devil's Tower to do it, either, because we're as
near as your mailbox.
    THINK THAT $450.00 IS TOO MUCH FOR AN ENTERTAINMENT PRODUCT?
    ------------------------------------------------------------
     Listen, how much did you spend for that VCR movie last month,
the one you already saw a dozen times?  Or that visit to your
in-laws that was so much fun you couldn't wait to leave?  For the
price of a Collector's Edition of Monopoly or ten Christmas trees
these toys offer something that movies, records, and tapes don't:
they exercise your cerebral cortex, both hemispheres, like aerobics
or squash, while giving you the emotional excitement of pure
entertainment -- and we're not talking about dancing around the
record machine (and yes, many of them are actually educational).
You see, they not only give but they take, they demand something of
you, and after you give it, you are the better for it.  So don't
feel guilty for enjoying your Tommy's Toys.  Join the Tommy's Toys
generation and become a toy master before you get too serious to
enjoy it.
    YOU'RE AFRAID TO BUY THEM FOR YOUR OFFICE PC?
    ---------------------------------------------
     So what if our products make your expensive, no-nonsense,
business computer into a great big toy?  Think of them as the alien
antidote to international business machines -- take one or two after
any business headache.
     Not being copy-protected, you can put them on your hard disk at
work, ready to play when you get bored or stymied, perhaps perking
you back up so your work productivity actually improves -- so how
can your boss get mad when he catches you with them?  (Yes, all the
products have mute switches.)
     But if you got it, why not flaunt it?  Picture your big (5.25
inch), or cute and compact (3.5 inch) -- but in any case beautiful
and mysterious -- Tommy's Toy Chest sitting next to your office or
home PC, with our silly logo staring back at all who pass, beckoning
to a higher, finer world of pure extraterrestrial cerebral
silliness.
     Aren't you valuable enough in your office to have this symbol
of higher consciousness proudly displayed, or will you have to quit
and find a job where your rights aren't denied?
     As for value, let the number 1-6-8 sink in for a minute: imagine
the pleasure of trying two new toys a week for an entire year and
still having dozens left!  And they're all at your service, on command,
forever.  How many earthling games can you get for the same price?
Nobody else can offer you a product like this.  Still don't believe
we're from outer space?
     YOU WANT TO GET ON AN ALIEN'S GOOD SIDE?
     ----------------------------------------
     Some earthlings spend zigabucks on membership fees, travel
expenses, and other purchases to attempt to get an alien from outer
space to be their friend.  But for just a few hundred greenbacks it
is all waiting for you in one place, a chance to become a code
blue-nine customer of Tommy's Toys and communicate with disembodied
alien intelligence in playful discourse.  In an age when man is
threatening to blow up his planet, where will you be without a
genuine Tommy's Toy Chest in your fallout shelter?
     ADDITIONAL ENTICEMENTS
     ----------------------
     Since you probably haven't bought a toy store before, from
aliens or otherwise, and perhaps need a little helping hand, we also
include the following enticements to make you feel special:
     1.  Free update for one year!  We automatically mail you
updated toy versions as they become available (at our discretion).
     2.  Tommy's Secret List of neat earthling fan clubs, stores and
magazines Tommy thinks you might want to check out (Tommy has his
tentacles everywhere).
     3.  Permanent membership in Tommy's Toy Club (we can't tell you
what this means, but one day you'll be glad you joined).
     4.  Three-year free Fan access to Tommy's Bulletin Board, a
$120 value!
     5.  Free copy of Tommy's Space Weenies! (req. VGA/mouse to run).
     6.  Free copy of Tommy's Hex! (req. EGA/VGA to run).

    My Earthling Friends,
      I hope you will avail yourself of this cosmic opportunity to
      play with an alien from outer space by buying some of my neat
      low-priced products.  We want to be your one and only galactic
      PC toy company, so here is my personal guarantee.  If you buy
      any of my toys and don't like them for whatever reason, you
      don't have to buy any more.

      Have fun,
                 Tommy
