TBBS/TDBS Entertainment Software Catalog ------------------------- Summer 1996 ------------------------- :::::::::: :OUR GOAL: :::::::::: Our goal at STAINLESS STEEL SOFTWARE is very simple: we are committed to creating quality original entertainment software that will enhance your TBBS system and ATTRACT CALLERS! Take a look at our catalog - you won't see any tired, worn ideas that have been done a dozen times before. STAINLESS STEEL SOFTWARE games are unique... we play them ourselves, and we hate boring online games! :::::::::::::: :OUR PROGRAMS: :::::::::::::: FORE! Price: $45.00 Like golf, the object of FORE! is to complete a course of 9 or 18 holes with the least number of strokes. Of course, you can score a "hole in one" by sinking the ball with a single shot, but don't bet on that happening very often! As Sysop, you determine whether your system's course covers 9 or 18 holes. Just like the real game of golf, experience and continued practice on your "virtual course" makes it MUCH easier to achieve higher scores! Although you can customize or change your FORE! course at any time, your users can "learn" holes and use the same strategy each time they play. Of course, there's the wind... and you might not always hit the ball just the same way... but the more you play, the easier it becomes! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ STAX Price: $65.00 STAX is a fast-paced arcade game patterned after the original TETRIS. Blocks of different shapes must be rotated and positioned correctly to form solid lines as they drop to the bottom of a rectangular container. The game features spectacular full-screen ANSI backgrounds (displayed randomly each time you play), automatically increasing speed, a unique and challenging scoring system, new block shapes and (of course) fully automatic maintenance! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LORD OF THE BOARDS Price: $75.00 LORD OF THE BOARDS allows your users to run their own "virtual" bulletin board system, competing against others for the most subscribing callers, the highest line count, the most money and the best equipment! Players must also deal with a number of random events - both good and bad - and the relentless attacks from Captain Infantile. Player vs. player interaction, complete sysop control, a Values editor so you can make gameplay as easy or as difficult as you wish... and, of course, the colorful ANSI graphics, completely automatic maintenance and online help system featured in all STAINLESS STEEL SOFTWARE programs! LORD OF THE BOARDS was an instant hit, and has remained one of our best-selling programs... it's sure to be popular with your callers! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WORLD WAR III Price: $45.00 The highest population... that's the only goal in WWIII! You and the computer are locked in fierce cold war that can erupt into nuclear war at any time; imagine a game something like Battleship, but with preparations that YOU make before the battle begins. Should you build more defensive positions, or devote your resources to your bomber and missle silos? It will take strategic skill to emerge the victor, and random events can help turn the tide of battle. With a colorful, full-screen ANSI display, a sophisticated computer opponent and six offensive and defensive weapon choices, your users are guaranteed a challenge every time they play! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CD REVIEW Price: $45.00 CD REVIEW is a catalog database for audio CDs that allows your users to add their own reviews! The program is colorful, easy-to-use and completely self-maintaining. Users can search on the CD title, artist, release date, musical style, reviewer's rating and reviewer's name. The last two keys are certain to generate messages as your reviewers argue and discuss each other's ratings and reviews! Users will be able to view reviews online, or they can download a formatted text listing of every entry in the database! Great program that generates quite a bit of user interest! ***** NEW! Version 1.1 allows you to display a custom ASCII or ANSI header ***** instead of the default ANSI header! The new version also ships with ***** a very nice sample database of music reviews. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The STAINLESS STEEL SOFTWARE SOLUTION! Price: $175.00 Here's a great deal for any TBBS sysop looking to add a variety of games and diversions - the complete STAINLESS STEEL SOFTWARE SOLUTION! All FIVE of the programs mentioned previously for $175.00! At regular price, the package would be $275.00... save ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS and provide your callers with an "instant Game Room"! :::::::::::::: :OUR POLICIES: :::::::::::::: All STAINLESS STEEL SOFTWARE is sold with a 30-day money-back guarantee from data of purchase; if you're not satisfied with our work, WE'RE not satisfied with our work!
