What Is The Universal Hint System?
The Universal Hint System, established in 1988 by Jason Strautman, provides step-by-step solutions to puzzle-based games, like graphic adventures and role-playing games. Currently, the Universal Hint System has over 100 complete walkthroughs for Macintosh games. In December '98, Illume Software released UHS for MacOS 4.0 – the first fully-compatible UHS reader for the Macintosh. UHS for MacOS 4.0 is available on our website at <http://users.aol.com/illumesoft/uhs.html>.
Why Should I Register?
Your support makes quality shareware possible. When you register, you get access to all of the prescriptions and you're placed on a mailing list to receive new prescriptions as they're released.
Most of the cheats and hints contained in Game Doctor are freely available on the Internet. We don't claim to own this information, in fact we acknowledge each author's contribution. However, we have made an effort to compile an extensive archive from many sources, and have edited each entry for accuracy and clarity. Game Doctor also features intelligent patching and support for the Universal Hint System. We hope you'll find Game Doctor affordable and enjoyable to use.
