REGISTRATION
1. The game supplied is an unregistered version. This version is
provided as a demonstration of the game capabilities and provides
a fully functioning GIN simulation. Some game enhancements
are reserved for those users who find this game to be a worthwhile
investment. Shareware is a try before you buy marketing method. If
you make regular use of this software, you are expected to "purchase"
it by paying the registration fee. As an additional incentive to
register this program, I will supply you with the most recent version
of this game on disk when you register. The registered version has
several game enhancements not available in the unregistered copy.
These features are listed below.
REGISTRATION BENEFITS
1. Your registered version will no longer have registration reminders
on screen.
2. Your registered version will allow you to play GIN with any of the 8
opponents. The non registered version only allows play with the 4
players at the top of the players screen.
3. Your registered version will allow you to save and recall the previous
games against any and all computer players. This will allow you to
continue a previously started match.
4. Sound Blaster support is provided. Registered users can order the
optional Sound Blaster Voice Pack if desired. These files will allow you
to hear digital recordings of the words seen in most talk balloons by
the computer opponents. This provides for a more realistic and entertain-
ing game. NOTE: When all voice files are decompressed to your hard disk,
they will occupy more than 1.2 mega bytes of space. This feature requires
a Sound Blaster or 100% compatible system.
5. Your registered version will keep your individual preferences (listed
below) on file and will restore these as the game default when you
sign in with this name at a future time.
a. Game speed
b. Fan on or off
c. Talk on or off
d. The type of Gin being played (Standard, Oklahoma, Hollywood score)
e. The selected values for the Game Score and Bonus Values
f. All game scores for all matches against all computer players.
6. Registered users can order additional "ULTIMATE" games at a 20% discount.
The registered version of the games "Ultimate Blackjack" and "Ultimate
Baccarat" can be purchased for $8.00 each (regular price is $10.00). If
you order the Voice Pack for Ultimate Gin, you will receive the Voice Pack
for all other "ULTIMATE" games you purchase free. If these games are
ordered at one time, you need only pay one shipping and handling fee for
the entire order. See "OTHER ULTIMATE GAMES" at the end of this file
for a description of these games.
