- █ ▀ Shareware is a method of marketing wherein consumers try-out products █
- █ before they buy them.Shareware authors retain all rights to the software- █
- █ but allow distribution of their programs freely with no restrictions. █
- █ You may look at, make copies of and give away Shareware, but if you use a █
- █ program regularly,you're encouraged to register it with the author.Regis- █
- █ tration guarantees you direct support of the author, and gives support to █
- █ the authors which allows them to make their programs even better. The fee █
- █ to register ZAPPER is $2O, which entitles you to hints sheets, the latest █
- █ updates, and announcements of future games. If you register Game 1 now,we █
- █ will send you Game 2 ZAPPER IN 3D-LAND, Game 3 ZAPPER IN OUTER-SPACE, and █
- █ Game 4 HOLY ZAPPERSTEIN !! Send $2O today & we'll rush you your stuff!!! █
- █ ▀ So,if and ONLY if you find this program to be of use to you,think about █
- █ registering your copy! Return to the menu and select (3) ZAPSTORY to find █
- █ registration details! █
- █ ▀ CGA and EGA versions of ZAPPER 1 are available if you send $5 to cover █
- █ postage and handling. █

- █ We here at ACORD hope you enjoy this game. This first game is being █
- █ offered as shareware, and remember that we rely on your support, if you █
- █ would like us to continue our efforts and come up with more and better █
- █ games.If you enjoy the game, we ask only that you register for $1O.OO. █
- █ You'll be sent the latest revision of the game and hint sheets and █
- █ announcements of future endeavors. █
- █ If you would like games 2 and 3, send $2O, and we will send you the █
- █ second and third games and the latest revision of the first game,register █
- █ you, and send you all hint sheets. Please specify if you want 3 or 5 inch █
- █ disks. █
- █ Any suggestions and comments on this first game would be greatly █
- █ appreciated.Specifically,we need information on how to add Soundblaster █
- █ music to the game, or art and programming tools which will permit adding █
- █ a character to the game,which can move & jump like Keen, Capt Comic,Mario █
- █ Bros,etc. Eventually we will have a contest, if this proves successful,in █
- █ which $50 will be offered to the person who comes up with the best idea █
- █ that we add to the game. We will keep you posted on any such development, █
- █ but it will be restrospective and entrees will include ALL persons who █
- █ have contributed help. We will eventually have a newsletter,as more games █
- █ are developed as new ideas come in. █
- █ Remember this is only a first draft of our game,and it will undoubtedly █
- █ undergo many improvements and revisions over time. █
- █ All correspondence,opinions & suggestions (and $2O for all three games █
- █ and registration) should be sent to: █

- █ JOHN BLACKWELL (F.GODMOM), 48 Walbrook Ave., Dayton, OH 454O5 █
- █ Sept. 1, 1992, DEAR GARY: █
- █ Thanks for sending me a copy of ZAPPER. It is very impressive, and █
- █ I have enjoyed it. In return, I am sending you a free F.GODMOM █
- █ registration packet. I hope you enjoy it as well. █
- █ ZAPPER reminded me a little of ID Software's WOLFENSTEIN 3-D. Do you █
- █ know the guys at ID? They live not too far from you in Mesquite, TX. █
- █ Maybe I'll send them a copy of ZAPPER. █
- █ One improvement I would suggest for future versions would be fewer, █
- █ more intuitive controls. For example, you could probably convert all █
- █ the movement and targeting controls to combinations of the Shift, Alt, █
- █ Ctrl and Arrow keys. That would allow the player to put his left hand █
- █ in the Shift/Alt/Ctrl area, his left thumb on the Space Bar and his █
- █ right hand on the Arrow keys. Then the play could move forward by █
- █ pressing the Up Arrow, move the cross-hairs by pressing Ctrl-Up, rotate █
- █ up with the Shift-Up, and stand up with the Alt-Up. That would █
- █ eliminate a lot of the hunting for the keys that I found myself doing. █
- █ If you want to discuss shareware or game programming further, feel █
- █ free to write me at this mailing address, at my Compu-Serve address █
- █ (7O373, 2O32) or at my Internet address (jblackwe@eve.wright.edu). I █
- █ enjoy exchanging ideas with fellow shareware game programmers. █
- █ Cashew later, Sincerely, John Blackwell, Soggybread Software █
