- WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
-
- Shareware is a beautiful concept that gives you a chance to
- "try" Redhook's Revenge and other programs before you "buy"
- them. If you try Redhook's Revenge and continue to use it,
- please send us the $19.95 registration fee and we will send
- you the latest Deluxe Version of Redhook's Revenge.
-
-
- BONUS FEATURES IN THE DELUXE VERSION
-
- * Two additional players -- Five players in all! Do you
- dare challenge the fearsome pirate Blackbeard, the most
- famous pirate who ever lived? Can you beat Poseidon the
- parrot, who is the most skillful player of all! Playing
- all five players doubles the number of battles between
- players, which makes the game far more exciting to play!
-
- * Triple the number of questions and game boards! Will you
- find treasure or death in the Mermaid Isles? Will you
- find the sunken treasure at Coral Lagoon, or get hung up
- at Gallows Point? How will you fare attacking the
- richest port of all, Kingstown, with her 25,000 doubloons
- on the Golden Isle? How much treasure will you find on
- Treasure Island? Order and see!

- THANK YOU!
-
- We at ImagiSOFT enjoyed developing Redhook's Revenge, and
- hope you like it as much as we do. Mike Prestwich
- researched Redhook, developed the concept, wrote the
- documentation, and wrote the script. We would like to thank
- Robert Louis Stevenson, from whom we borrowed generously
- from his classic work, Treasure Island. Most of the
- historical information about pirates, ships, weapons, and
- events came from the books "The Funnel of Gold" by Mendel
- Peterson, and "The Sack of Panama" and "The Treasure of the
- Concepcion" by Peter Earle.
-
- David Sanders developed many new assembly language routines
- to program Redhook; it is his remarkable talent that makes
- Redhook (and our other products) work so well on your
- computer. Russ Chancellor's extraordinary artwork was drawn
- by hand on the screen, not scanned, using Deluxe Paint II.
- Robert Allen composed the music which adds so much to the
- atmosphere of Redhook. Lastly, our quality control staff
- gave Redhook a thorough work out before it was released.
-
- Of course, without the financial support of our loyal
- customers, Redhook's Revenge wouldn't be have been created.
- We appreciate you most of all!
