It features 25 levels of rousing action, 16-color graphics and a library of 200+ sound effects. It's a unique combination of arcade, adventure and strategy. This is Volume I of the original Kroz Trilogy. There are two more volumes in the original Kroz Trilogy: Caverns of Kroz and Dungeons of Kroz, each $7.50, or you can get the entire trilogy for just $20. QUOTES: "Kingdom of Kroz is the best of all." -- PC-SIG Directory Guide "I've had this game a long time, and I still stay up late to play it." -- Shareware Magazine (Program of the Month) "The most unique and fun-to-play game in shareware!" -- Micro Star Catalog "Four Stars!" (Highest rating in their system!) -- Public Brand Catalog "From Texas author Scott Miller comes an exciting adventure game, Kingdom of Kroz. You can use your only weapon, a whip, to dispatch foes and break through walls. It's a real challenge." -- COMPUTE!'s PC Magazine "1989 in Review -- Best New Programs...Kingdom of Kroz..." (Kingdom of Kroz was one of three games listed.) -- PsL News, Dec. 1989 "I'm really enjoying KINGDOM OF KROZ, I hope it doesn't destroy my GPA!" -- Greg McKinzey, OK "My computer is held hostage as my wife whips her way to level 25! You really DID write an entertaining program, my check is enclosed for the two sequels." -- John Rollinson, CA "Thank you for creating the Kingdom of Kroz series. They are by far some of the most interesting and addictive games that I've ever played. The shareware concept is a great one. It allowed me to try out Kroz, a game that I probably would not have given a second thought to, because the graphics look so simple and uncomplicated. What the game lacks in it's visual appeal, it more than makes up in it's richness and complexity of play. Kroz is a real 'thinking [person's]' game." -- Vincent Tavedi, MD "I would like to compliment and thank you for your game Kingdom of Kroz. It is truly the most enjoyable computer game I have ever used. Over a year ago I suffered a heart failure. A good friend of mine made copies of over 50 diskettes and sent them to me to help during my rehabilitation. The Kingdom of Kroz has been my escape from my problems and depression. When I get on my feet financially, I intend to order the other Kroz games from you." -- Jim Garrison, NY (Note: I sent Jim Garrison all of my other Kroz games at no charge!) █▀▀█ █▀▀▀ ▀▀█▀▀ █ █ █▀▀█ █▀█ █ ▀▀█▀▀ █▀▀█ █ █▀ █▀▀█ █▀▀█ ▀▀▀█ █▀█▀ █▀ █ █ █ █▀█▀ █ █ █ █ █ █ █▀▀█ █▀█▀ █ █ ▄▀▀ ▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ Registration ─ $7.50 This is volume I of the new and long awaited Super Kroz Trilogy, which picks up right after the events that occurred in the award-winning Kingdom of Kroz. The Super Kroz trilogy boasts new features galore. Over forty new playfield objects (like spells, traps, creatures, treasures, terrains, etc.) have been added. The three new Kroz games are: RETURN TO KROZ - Your quest for the "Crown of Kroz". TEMPLE OF KROZ - A death defying adventure for the "Holy Grail". THE FINAL CRUSADE OF KROZ - Will you discover the great mystery of Kroz? NOTE: Order all three volumes for only $20! They all have 16-color graphics (yes, 16 colors!) and a tremendous sound effects library. In each game you must navigate through dangerous chambers, solving puzzles and avoiding pitfalls. Collect gems, whips, chests, nuggets, tablets, keys and scrolls to aid your progress. These game are as much strategic as they are pure arcade fun. All Kroz games are designed to work correctly on ANY computer system, regardless of microprocessor type or speed. Although they are best played on a color system, they do have an option to be played on a monochrome system! QUOTES: The following is a review of the new Kroz games from The Software Labs catalog of shareware games: "It's pure dynamite! A unique combination of arcade action, strategy and adventure unlike any other game you've played. Some levels are puzzle oriented, which makes a great change of pace from the high action parts of the game. You'll find new terrains, traps, spells, hazards, creatures, and levels to challenge your dexterity, and sound effects galore. You'll encounter moving walls, forbidden forests, active volcanoes, bottomless pits and much more, plus plenty of options. AND, no two games will be alike! Great fun, great challenge, great action--GREAT GAME!!!" -- Software Labs Catalog "Five Stars!" (Highest rating in their system!) -- Sizzleware Catalog "Four Stars!" (Highest rating in their system!) -- Public Brand Catalog "Five Stars--As good as the best commercial programs available." -- Micro Star Catalog "Here is my check for the use of your fantastic program, thankfully you are not charging by the hour...or I would be bankrupt!. I am currently stationed in Korea, and your games have been the highlight of my tour." -- CW3 Daniel W. Evans, PA 1st Bn 5th Infantry "My family is fascinated by the Kroz series." (Family picture enclosed!) -- Isabel Goehringer, Germany The following is an actual letter from a young grandmother who enjoys Kroz: "I have lived in Kroz for almost a month and was sorry tonight to finally find the Amulet. "It really is strange what an illness your game can be. I have found myself going over in my head a particularly difficult level right in the middle of a conversation. To tell you that I have enjoyed the challenge would be very understated. "I am a Grandmother who has traveled around the world, but found no place that was more interesting than your world of Kroz. "Please keep my address and drop me a note when you have a new game. Guess that about says it all. Best of everything in the future, I hope that you become the Agatha Christie of computer games." -- Patricia Baker, RI "P.S. I have died a million deaths!" (Pat, you're famous!) "We REALLY enjoy your Kroz games. We also thank they are a steal at the price you ask. Keep up the excellent work!!" -- Yvonne May, TX "It's GREAT!. More challenging and addicting than any other game I've ever played, commercial games included! I definately like your style and would be interested in any more Kroz games you have." -- Susan Hanna, NH "Unique, exciting arcade-adventure game.

QUOTES: "One of the most captivating shareware games available!" -- CWI Catalog "As usual, you've outdone yourself with the new features of Lost Adventures and I'm looking forward (anxiously but quite impatiently) to the next Kroz game you create." -- Helen Bestafka, NY "Your new features completely amaze me. My friend Richard and I have had many many laughs while playing Kroz. Everytime we think we have a level figured out, up pops something new. It's just great, so keep up the great work. Sincerely hope you continue to make these Kroz games." -- John W. Clifford, IN "I have just completed your amazing game THE LOST ADVENTURES OF KROZ. The problem that I now face is that I am not willing to 'go gently into that good night' of retirement. I am not content hanging up my whip and sitting in the rocking chair with my memories. After completing all seven Kroz games, I feel as if I'm going through withdrawal without another Kroz fix to look forward to taking. Maybe I cound open up a home for old Kroz Crusaders! "If there are any Kroz creative juices in your mind, please stimulate them for just one more game. Just one more that's all I want, just one more. Then I can stop, really I can stop, but I want just one more!" -- Tonnie A.

Commander Keen is the first truly "commercial quality" game to be distributed as shareware. It features ultra high-speed smooth-scrolling EGA graphics and superb sound effects. The animation and scrolling is updated at nearly 40 frames per second, for comparison, motion picture quality cartoons are filmed at only 24 frames per second. The story of Commander Keen is epic, and in the style of the memorable matinee serials, like Flash Gordon. You play the role of Billy Blaze, eight year-old kid genius who builds an interstellar ship when not working at home on his college fast-track degree. Among other household objects, Billy uses his Nintendo joystick for flight control and his mom's vacuum cleaner (heavily modified) for his ship's ion propulsion system (with pile height adjustment). At the hint of galactic trouble, Billy dons his brother's football helmet and becomes "Commander Keen"─defender of Earth! Ever on the side of justice, fairness, and high calorie junk food, Keen dispenses justice with an iron hand. Keen's first adventure takes you to Mars, where the Vorticon invasion force is planning their conquest of Earth. While Keen is exploring Mars the Vorticons steal pieces of his ship and hide them within their cities. Can Keen recover all the pieces and repel the Vorticon invasion? You'll explore many dangerous cities, packed with diabolical traps and hideous creatures, both of Martian and Vorticon origin. Use your pogo stick to reach high ledges and jump deadly pits, and use your ray gun to stun the Vorticon invaders. Can you find the secret city? "Marooned on Mars" is volume one of the Commander Keen trilogy. Only part one is available via shareware distribution, the other two volumes ("The Earth Explodes" and "Keen Must Die!") may only be purchased from Apogee Software Productions (ASP). EACH VOLUME HAS COMPLETELY UNIQUE GRAPHICS AND ANIMATION! Volume one is located on the planet mars. Volume two takes place on the immense Vorticon mothership, where you'll need to stop the destruction of Earth by disabling the eight deadly ray cannons aimed at Earth's greatest cities and wonders. Volume three takes Keen to the dangerous Vorticon home planet, where you'll explore huge caves, battle the top Vorticon ninja fighters and discover the secret of the Grand Intellect. Commander Keen requires 520k free RAM to run. Therefore if you have too many RAM resident (TSR) programs you may have trouble running Commander Keen. You may use either a joystick or keyboard to play. And, of course, an EGA- or VGA-equipped system is required. CGA is not supported. Each volume of Commander Keen is $15, or you can order (and register) all three volumes for just $30. As an incentive to order all three volumes, you'll also receive a hint sheet, a cheat mode password, and new bonus games from ASP. Plus, you'll be able to call the Commander Keen hints line or mail questions to ASP for assistance. █▀▀█ █ █ █▀▀█ █▀▀█ █▀▀█ █▀▀█ █ █ 9 █▀▀▀ ▀▀█▀▀ █▀▀█ █▀█▀█ █▀█ █▀▀▀ █▀▀█ █▀▀█ █▀█▀ █▀▀█ █ █ █▀▀█ ▀▀▀█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █▀▀█ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ $10 per volume, or $25 for all four volumes! Pharaoh's Tomb is an arcade/adventure game set in a huge Egyptian pyramid. You will need to explore and survive 20 uniquely dangerous levels (screens) riddled with ingenious puzzles and traps. This game uses a special animation system called FAST (Fluid Animation Software Technology) which allows for flicker free movement even on the older IBM PC's. You will start with five lives and a few spears, which can be thrown at offending denizens that guard the pyramid. Moving walls, falling spikes, bats, mummys, and magic winds are just some of the hazards to overcome. On each level you will need to collect one or more keys to advance to the next level. And hidden on the final level will be the prize of your journey. Notable features: No two levels will have the same animated creature patrolling it, which adds greatly to the variety of the game. Sound effects are also used, but can be toggled off. The keyboard controls can be configured to two alternate sets of keys. A five player permanent high score table keeps tracks of the all-time best explorers. Plus, you can save the game on any level and restore at any time. This is the first of four volumes of Pharaoh's Tomb, subtitled "Raiders of the Lost Tomb" The other three volumes are: "Pharaoh's Curse", "Temple of Terror", and "Nevada's Revenge!". The volumes should be played in sequence, since they continue the story to the final encounter. Each volume is $10, or order all four for just $25. All orders must include an extra $2 P&H. For registering you will get the newest versions, a hint sheet, and the secret cheat code. ▀▀█▀▀ █ █ █▀▀▀ █▀█▀█ █▀▀█ █▀█ █ █ █ █▀█▀█ █▀▀▀ █▀█ █ ▀▀█▀▀ █▀▀▀ █ █▀▀█ █▀ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █▀ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀█ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ █▀▀█ █▀▀▀ █▀█▀█ █▀▀█ █▀▀█ █▀▀▀ █ █ █ █▀ █ █ █ █▀▀█ █▀█▀ ▀▀▀█ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ $10 per volume, or $25 for all four volumes! In the game, NASA has sent several manned missions to explore the mysterious monuments...but every mission has ended in disaster. Soon after the astronauts landed on Mars NASA lost contact with them─and no one knows why. You're the final hope. You have been chosen for a special mission to rescue the missing astronauts and to discover the secrets of the Martian monuments. The game begins just after your ship lands on Mars near the site of the "Cliff", one of the many monuments. Will you suddenly vanish like the astronaut explorers before you? Can you find the entrance to each monument and discover what secrets are hidden inside? The Monuments of Mars! is an arcade/adventure game set in the near future as you explore a secret underground city on Mars. In the first volume ("First Contact") you will need to survive 20 unique and challenging levels (screens) filled with puzzles, traps, creatures and useful artifacts. This game features great graphics and sound effects, plus a compelling and fascinating story. Features include save/restore, high score chart, sound on/off and keyboard configuration. Plus, this is the first game to give you unlimited lives! You will never see a "Game Over" message in The Monuments of Mars!, since you simply restart the level whenever you die. This will let you concentrate on solving each level without the hassles of constantly saving and restoring your game. This is a revolutionary feature that will be used in many future games by Apogee Software. SPECIAL NOTE: > Due to the immense animation requirements of this game, it will not > function on the original style IBM PCs that use the 8088 microprocessor > If your computer is equipped with an 8086, 80286 (AT), 80386, or 80486 > then this game will run properly on your computer. A CGA, EGA or VGA > graphics card is also required, along with at least 350k RAM. This is the first of four volumes of The Monuments of Mars!, subtitled "First Contact". The other three volumes are: "The Pyramid", "The Fortress", and "The Face". The volumes should be played in sequence, since they continue the story to a climatic and shocking ending. Each volume is $10, or order all four for just $25. All orders must include an extra $2 shipping, etc. For registering you will get the newest versions, a hint sheet, and the special cheat codes. █▀▀▀ █▀▀█ █ █ █▀▀▀ █▀▀▀ █▀▀█ █▀▀▀ ▀▀█▀▀ █ █ █▀▀█ █▀▀█ █ █▀▀█ █ █▀ █▀ ▀▀▀█ █ █ █▀ █ █▀▀█ █ █ █▀█▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀▀ $10 per volume, or only $25 for entire trilogy Note: A hard disk is HIGHLY recommended for this game. Caves of Thor is a brilliant 16 color arcade/graphics game with a 4-way scrolling playfield. You'll need to explore seven huge levels for the three Symbols of Virtue: The Heart Symbol represents courage, the Female Symbol represents compassion, and the Male Symbol represents strength. These three virtues are needed to finish Caves of Thor. As you explore the empire you must overcome the many creatures that patrol it. Use your gun (unlimited bullets) to shoot creatures and creature generators. Other hazards include underground flowing streams (with currents that can drag you away!), bubbling lava pits and lakes, and the very dangerous Thor Beast, which creates creatures with devastating speed. Caves of Thor features the best music yet heard in a shareware game. Several theme songs are played during your quest, changing to complement the current situation. The music in The Thor Trilogy even rates better than most commercial games! You have the option to switch off the music, leaving just sound effects, or you can toggle all sounds off. Caves of Thor will run in any graphics mode (CGA/EGA/VGA), with 16 color screens even on CGA systems. Other notable features include a save/restore option, easy keyboard controls, a demonstration mode, permanent high score, and an easy playing cheat mode! The other two non-shareware volumes in The Thor Trilogy are: Realm of Thor and Thor's Revenge. Both of these games feature more levels, more game objects and more features than the introductory volume Caves of Thor. For example, Realm of Thor introduces the "Max Health Increaser", "Mystery Objects" and a "Creature Confusion Spell". You can order each volume of The Thor Trilogy for $10 apiece, or get all three for only $25. By getting the entire set you'll also receive the most up-to-date versions, the Hints and Secrets Sheet, the cheat mode password, and a free bonus game, usually Apogee Software's newest game release. The final volume, Thor's Revenge, wraps up the entire trilogy. (Special note: For those players looking for a game similar to the Kroz games...this is it.) ▀▀█▀▀ █▀▀█ █▀▀▀ █ █▀ ▀▀█▀▀ █▀▀█ ▀█▀ █ █ ▀█▀ █▀▀█ █ █▀█▀ █▀ █▀▀█ █ █▀█▀ █ █ █▀ █ █▀▀█ ▀ ▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀ ▀▀▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ $4 per volume or $30 for all 10 volumes T.V.

Or that it was Leonard Nemoy who developed the idea of Mr. Spock's Vulcan nerve pinch (so as to make Spock less violent). Or that the Enterprise is 947 feet long. Or that Joan Collins, Terri Garr, and Ricardo Montalban all appeared in a Star Trek episode. Or that the Enterprise was named by Captain James T. Kirks father! It's all here in Trek Trivia. You'll also receive a secret code that lets you answer each question automatically.
