PROGRAM TITLE: It's a Crime! Utility Version 1.5
DETAILED PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
It's a Crime! is a computer-moderated play-by-mail game that has been in
operation for the past 3 years. It is the most popular play-by-mail game
in the world.
The It's a Crime! utility program was developed by a player to assist in
managing the large amount of game related information received each turn.
When you run this program you are greeted with several introductory screens
describing the program, and It's a Crime! in general. Upon entering the program
a map of the game appears on your screen. For a more detailed version of the
map you may (Z)oom in to a different scale.
The program contains numerous menu selections to assist a player in completing
a game turn. It performs automatic %gang calculations, chooses the best blocks
on which to perform certain actions, assists you in filling out your orders,
and even prints a turn card to be submitted.
WHO IS THE INTENDED USER: Current players of It's a Crime! as well as anyone
interested in gaming. Files are included which introduce the user to
play-by-mail gaming. The entire rulebook of the game and some sample positions
are included on the disk. If a user wants to try it out he can use one of these
sample positons to submit a turn. Adventures By Mail will then send him a free
copy of the rulebook and two free turns to try the game.
Adventures By Mail offers this program as a service to its players. We also
