Dear Vendor,
Here are descriptions of the three games enclosed on this
disk. All three games are shipped as self-extracting Zip
files. The Zipped files contain the exact files that should
be shipped with the game, including Apogee's CATALOG.EXE and
PRINTME.EXE files. We have included PCX screen shots of both
Duke Nukem and Arctic Adventure that you may use in your
catalog if you wish. Thank you for distributing our games.

░▒▓█ DUKE NUKEM █▓▒░
Copyright 1991 Apogee Software Productions
Designed by Todd Replogle
Published by Apogee Software Productions
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Duke Nukem has over one megabyte of EGA/VGA animation and
graphics. It features 4-way, multiple-scrolling levels
that have never been seen on an IBM PC! Incredibly realistic
graphics and animation that updates 48 times per second!
Duke is an amazing hero, who can flip and cling to ceilings.
Help him save the world on his first action-packed adventure.
Other features include: Large animated enemies, built-in
hint mode, joystick support, self-running demo, arcade
sound effects, save/restore, and much more.
FULL DESCRIPTION:
After the tremendous response to Commander Keen, Apogee's
follow-up game had to be really spectacular. And Duke
Nukem is just that--a superb showstopper with over one Meg
of animation and graphics, four times more than Commander
Keen had!
This is an arcade/adventure game that compares to the
Sega Genesis home systems. (It's far superior to games
typically seen on the Nintendo home system.)
Duke Nukem also has four-way, dual scrolling playfields,
and does it better than any other IBM game. Features:
Large animated characters, reflections, arcade sound
effects, built-in hint mode, joystick support,
cinematic sequences, self-running demo mode,
save/restore, high scores, etc.
Rarely is a game released with such a well animated main
character. Duke Nukem will do full flips and use his
grappling hooks to hand-walk along ceilings. Duke is a
hero everyone will like.
Duke Nukem is rendered in vivid EGA graphics, with many special
screen effects. As usual, Apogee offers two more episodes
if players want to continue their adventures with Duke.
This is truly a game that will demonstrate the graphical
abilities of your computer if you have EGA or VGA. Get
ready for a fun time as you rescue the world from the
latest madman, Dr. Proton.
Hardware Requirements: IBM PC or compatible with 640k RAM,
hard drive, and optional joystick.

░▒▓█ ARCTIC ADVENTURE █▓▒░
Copyright 1991 Apogee Software Productions
Designed by George Broussard
Published by Apogee Software Productions
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
You must explore 20 arcade levels riddled with diabolical traps,
creatures and hazards. An exciting game packed with action and
thrills as you overcome slippery ice patches, falling stalactites,
runaway snowballs and abominable snowmen and killer penguins!
Can you help Nevada Smith find the Viking treasure? Features
joystick support, save/restore, great sound effects, world map,
and more.
FULL DESCRIPTION:
This is the second exciting adventure of Nevada Smith. Nevada
wasn't satisfied with finding the elusive pharaoh's tomb in his
first adventure. After months of searching and studying ancient
maps, Nevada has stumbled upon the location of a tremendous Viking
treasure cave. Join our intrepid hero as he heads for the Arctic
in this stunning and chilling new adventure series!
Arctic Adventure contains 20 all-new diabolical levels, packed with
mind bending, puzzling arcade action designed to keep you from ever
succeeding. Nevada will face freezing waters, diabolical traps,
slippery ice patches, falling stalactites, runaway snowballs and
even abominable snowmen! There are many, many more obstacles for
Nevada to overcome in this highly adventurous series.
You will start on a vast arctic "world" map and must find your way
around the hazardous ice caves. You are searching for the remaining
fragments of a map that will eventually lead you to the location of
the hidden treasure cave. Gather pick axes to break walls and bullets
to shoot dangerous enemies, or find the boat to cross the freezing
waters to unknown caves.
Throughout your adventure you'll also find many bonus items to
increase your wealth (and score). It's up to you to learn the use
of any object you discover, and whether it should be altogether avoided.
This game uses the FAST (Fluid Animation Software Technology) system
which allows for flicker free movement even on the older IBM PC's.
Other features: Great sound effects that can be toggled on or off.
Flawless keyboard controls or you can use a joystick. A permanent high
score table will keep your name on record for all to see, and as with
ALL Apogee games, you can save and restore your game.

IMPORTANT: These games are NOT crippled in any way.

NOTE: In the past Apogee has released several other
games, such as Commander Keen, Pharaoh's Tomb,
Dark Ages, etc. These games are created by many
different, talented game designers. However, credit
is invariably given to Apogee's president, Scott
Miller. This should not happen in the future.
If credit is given, please mention "Apogee Software".
Thank you.
