echo At this point, most games will say something like,
echo "Now would be a good time to fill out your warranty
echo card."
echo
echo However, Quest For Glory: Shadows of Darkness has
echo been programmed in "Warranty-O-Rama," a new
echo language that autodetects whether or not you've
echo filled out and sent in your warranty card. If you
echo haven't, the game may exhibit strange behavior and
echo do bizarre things to your hard drive.
echo
echo We're probably kidding, but why take the risk?

echo We get cards and letters every day asking us,

echo Darkness' even if you haven't played any of the
echo previous Quest For Glory games?"
echo
echo Yes, WE can. Oh, all right. Actually, so can YOU!
echo
echo Seriously: No previous experience with Quest for
echo Glory is required to play this or any other game

echo Oh, and speaking of other games in the series, it

echo Quest for Glory 1: So You Want To Be A Hero, the
echo award-winning Quest for Glory 2: Trial By Fire, and
echo the breathtaking Quest for Glory 3: Seekers of the

echo Our Customer Service Department once got a phone call
echo from somebody who said that their game wouldn't install
echo properly. Turns out when they read in the manual,
echo "place the floppy disk in Drive A:," they thought
echo it meant to remove the actual magnetic disk from
echo its plastic sleeve and put THAT in the drive.
echo Needless to say, they mangled the disks pretty
echo severely. True story.
echo
echo So the moral is: don't do that. Thank you.

echo We also got a letter once from somebody whose
echo install program seemed to stop after the second or
echo third disk. Turns out they didn't realize that
echo after Disk #1 finished installing, they were supposed
echo to REMOVE it before putting Disk #2 in. So they kept
echo putting more and more disks in the drive. This
echo caused a wee bit of damage to both the disks and the
echo drive, as you might expect.
echo
echo So don't do that either. Thank you.

echo
echo We should mention that even in the extreme examples
echo of Installation Horror we've just cited, our
echo highly-trained Customer Service staff had these
echo problems identified and solved quickly and
echo cleanly. If you encounter any problems in the
echo installing or running of this program, we're here
echo to help. At Sierra On-Line, you don't just buy our
echo games, you buy the support of the entire company.

echo When fully installed, this game will take up
echo approximately 15 megabytes of hard drive space,
echo including the digitized sound files. Yet all this code
echo was packed onto only 9 diskettes. You figure it out.
echo
echo Basically, you're getting more byte for your gaming
echo buck than with other leading computer adventure/RPGs.
echo And unlike those other brands, Sierra games do not
echo cause itching, flaking, scaling, or painful burning
echo sensations (except perhaps for Leisure Suit Larry).

echo all these items: Nine diskettes, a Sierra Game
echo Manual, the Shadows of Darkness Technical Guide,
echo the special Halloween issue of "Hero," and numerous
echo flyers and brochures from our favorite purveyors
echo of other fine computer-game-related products.
echo
echo Now, if you really read quickly, you can get
echo through all that before you need to put in the
echo next disk. Yeah, right. Anyway, at least we
echo made sure you got your money's worth.

echo It's been a pleasure installing this game with you.
echo In this short time that we've been setting up your
echo game, we feel like we've really gotten to know you,
echo especially since we've been glancing through all the
echo files on your hard drive. Nice poetry in your word
echo processor subdirectory, by the way!
echo
echo Incidentally, maybe we should've mentioned it sooner,
echo but you have a small piece of parsley or seaweed or
echo something stuck between your teeth.
