This game is shareware. You may freely try it. If you like it or find it useful, then you must register with MVP Software. To "register" a shareware game means to purchase it directly from the developer. (Shareware games are evaluation versions only, which means you have the right to try them, but after trying them you must either register them with the author or delete them from your system. It is unlikely that anyone will check up on you, so shareware works because of the honesty of users.) When you register you will receive MVP Backgammon Deluxe for Windows, which includes all of the following additional features: * 3 skill levels, including the tough expert "fiona" neural net system, plus a beginner level. * Single game and tournament match play. * 3 different board and stone graphics styles. * 3 different screen sizes for full-screen graphics in 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 modes. * Lots more music and sound effects, including lots of cool digitized speech not in this shareware version. * 48-page printed manual containing complete Backgammon rules, a brief history of the game, program instructions, and tips and hints from the author. MVP Backgammon Deluxe for Windows is just $19.95 plus shipping. So order today! Registered users receive a special offer on other MVP products. To order, call 800-968-9684 toll-free 24 hours a day.
