- Introducing the MVP Distribution Network
-
- Have you heard about the MVP Distribution Network? MVP Software is joining
- forces with BBS sysops in a joint effort that will help both of us. I'd like
- to invite you to become a member of the MVPDN. Here's how it can benefit you.
-
- Near and dear to all sysops' hearts are callers. If you run a subscription
- BBS, then more callers means more money. If you run a free BBS, then more
- callers means that more people are finding what they want on your system.
- Participating in the MVPDN will increase the traffic on your board.
-
- Participating sysops in the MVPDN receive all of our popular games and
- entertainment-related shareware directly from MVP Software, before it is
- available on other boards or from shareware disk vendors.
-
- What about the quality of our games? Good question. AOL chose Sand Storm as
- a Top Pick for September 1992. PsL News chose both Robomaze II and Robomaze
- III as the top new arcade games of 1991, tied with several Apogee games.
- Corncob 3D, our award-winning flight sim, was nominated in two categories by
- the Shareware Industry Awards, received an Editor's Choice in Shareware
- Magazine, and has been favorably reviewed in PC/Games, Nuts and Volts, In
- Flight, Computer Gaming World, and several other publications. Several of our
- games have also been chosen as cover disks by European computer publications.
- Retail versions of our games (often identical to the shareware versions) have
- sold as many as 50,000 copies in less than a year.
-
- And the best is yet to come. We now have 20 talented development teams. In
- 1994 we will release our first shareware educational game, the Sea School
- Series. Designed by a teacher, it combines education, outstanding graphics,
- and fun for early learners like never before in shareware. Bloody April, our
- next-generation 256-color air combat game has features not found in most
- commercial flight sims. And in 1994 MVP will release several Windows games
- now in development.
-
- Don't miss out! Be the first BBS in your area to carry these hot new
- shareware products! These are just some of the reasons to join the MVPDN now
- and grow with us. It's easy to join the MVP Distribution Network. Here's
- what you do.
-
- 1. Not all boards qualify to be a distribution site for MVP Software. We
- would love to have them all, but since we mail all new releases and updates
- directly to each sysop, the cost is prohibitive. So to qualify, your board
- MUST be online 24 hours a day. I'm sorry, but we can't support part-time
- boards.
-
- 2. Call MVP's home BBS, Ryan's Bar, at 616-456-1845 or 616-456-5342. Download
- all the files in the MVP file section. These are the files you should post
- on your board in the MVP section. Then call Dave Snyder at (616) 245-8376
- (voice) so we can add you to our mailing list.
-
- 3. When you call to download the files, leave a message for Dave Snyder on
- Ryan's Bar. In the message state your name, BBS name, BBS mailing address,
- and BBS data phone number. We need this information so we can mail you new
- releases and direct callers in your area to your board. It is best if you
- use a high-speed modem to download the files. It will take you a long
- time at 2400 baud. <g>
-
- 4. Create a file section on your system called MVP SOFTWARE. This file
- section will contain all MVP shareware products.
-
- 5. Post the MVP bulletin and the MVP log-on message on your board to let
- your users know you are a distribution site.
-
- 6. We will notify you of future releases and updates. You will also receive
- our periodic sysop newsleter, MVPDN News.
-
- And that's all there is to it! I hope you will join us today.
