- 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 has chosen
- many MVP games as Top Picks over the years. 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. In
- 1994 MVP Bridge (DOS) was chosen by CGW as best shareware card game
- of the year and was nominated by PC Magazine as one of the five best
- shareware games of the year, all categories, and Pickle Wars was
- nominated by CGW as one of the three best arcade/adventure shareware
- games of the year. In 1995 MVP Bridge for Windows was nominated by
- CGW as one of three best shareware card and casino games, and MVP
- Wordsearch for Windows was nominated by the SIA as one of the best
- in its category.
-
- And the best is yet to come. We now have 20 talented development
- teams. In 1994 we released 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. And in 1994 MVP released the first four
- of our Windows games.
-
- In late 1995 we will release our first Windows95 game as well as six
- other exciting new games.
-
- 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. Call Dave Snyder at (616) 245-8376 (voice) so we can
- add your name and address to our database. If you have
- difficulty getting through to Ryan's Bar, download the MVP files
- from Exec-PC, the world's largest BBS, by calling (414) 789-4360.
- Look for the free MVP file section.
-
- 3. 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. These are
- found in the SYSOPMVP.ZIP file.
-
- 6. We will notify yo of new 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.
