- REGISTRATION BENEFITS
- ---------------------
- Depending on how you register AMY'S FUN-2-3 ADVENTURE, you'll get more great
- software starring Amy at great prices. We've kept the registration prices
- as low as possible to encourage as many people as possible to register.
-
- When you register under the *FUN-TASTIC DEAL*, you'll get the registered
- version of this program (plus a 20 page manual), and 2 free bonus games,
- AMY'S SHAPES and RETROSPECTRO. The best part is the price -- only $14.95.
-
- Moving up to the *SUPER FUN-TASTIC DEAL* gets you everything in the *FUN-
- TASTIC DEAL* plus AMY'S PLAY-B-C TIME, the perfect sequel to AMY'S FUN-2-3
- ADVENTURE! The price of the *SUPER FUN-TASTIC DEAL* is dependent on when
- you order -- order early and it's only $16.95! (See the ORDER.FRM file for
- more information.)
-
- Our registration prices look even better when you consider that the commer-
- cial version of AMY'S FUN-2-3 ADVENTURE has a retail price of $39.95. When
- you realize that you can get all 4 programs above for only about half the
- price of the *commercial* version of AMY'S FUN-2-3 ADVENTURE alone, you'll
- see what a great deal registering the Shareware versions really are! (the
- shareware versions of the programs are EXACTLY the same as the commercial
- versions too, so you don't have to worry that you'll be getting stripped-down
- versions of them. You'll get the same high quality at a much lower price!)
-
- -------------------------------------
- WHY ARE OUR REGISTRATION FEES SO LOW?
- -------------------------------------
- To encourage you to register of course! As if all the software you'll re-
- ceive isn't enough to entice you to register, we also make it very affordable
- to do so. It's said that if an offer seems too good to be true, it usually
- isn't. But in this case, judge what you've received so far (AMY'S FUN-2-3
- ADVENTURE) and note the high-quality of the program and the enjoyment your
- children receive while playing it.
-
- We could have made our registration fees much higher. But David Alves, the
- author of this program, wants to see tens of thousands of children around the
- world using AMY'S PLAY-B-C TIME and the other free bonus programs you'll
- receive when you register. He seriously cares that the programs he so pain-
- stakingly creates gets in the hands of as many children as possible through
- affordable prices and great incentives. So register today, and let your
- child be one of thousands having fun and learning with Amy!
-
- ------------------------------
- PROBLEMS WITH DIGITIZED SOUND?
- ------------------------------
- AMY'S FUN-2-3 ADVENTURE was designed to be run directly from DOS. If you
- prefer to run DOS programs from Windows, be aware that depending on your
- computer/sound setup, digitized sound output may not work properly in the
- Windows environment. In this case, you will have to exit Windows and run the
- program directly from the DOS prompt. Slower animation speed may also result
- if Amy is run under Windows, especially if you have a slower machine.
-
- (Don't forget to run CONFIG.EXE to correctly configure the sound options for
- your computer. You are given the option to run this program the first time
- you run AMY'S FUN-2-3 ADVENTURE.)
-
- ------------------------------
- THE ADVANTAGES OF A SOUND CARD
- ------------------------------
- To obtain the most enjoyable learning and play experience from this program,
- we recommend that you have a sound card installed in your computer. Although
- the PC speaker is supported for digitized speech and sound effects, it just
- doesn't have anywhere near the quality that can be obtained from a card such
- as the Sound Blaster (which we recommend for best music and speech reproduc-
- tion of all the cards we support).
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- USING OUR SOFTWARE AT SCHOOLS, DAYCARE CENTERS AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- We are happy to know that our software is being used at schools, daycare
- centers and other public and private institutions world-wide. But please
- keep in mind that you must register this software if you plan on using it
- in a classroom or daycare environment. The registration fee is really
- reasonable, plus you'll be getting a lot more of Amy's fun software to
- use!
-
- ---------
- TWO AMYS?
- ---------
- By coincidence, there is another educational shareware product on the market
- called AMY'S FIRST PRIMER. AMY'S FIRST PRIMER was written and named for the
- author's (Rob Robinson) daughter. Our program, AMY'S FUN-2-3 ADVENTURE,
- is also written and named after a family member, but in this case the family
- member is the author's (David Alves) dog. (Yes, Amy is real!) We're sorry
- if there is any initial confusion regarding the similar character names in
- the 2 programs. We have purposely left the name "AMY" out of the zipped
- filename found on bulletin boards to keep the confusion factor to a minimum.
- If you upload this file to any bulletin boards please list the name of the
- file as "FUN23_10.ZIP". Thank you!
-
- -------------------------
- PASS THIS PROGRAM AROUND!
- -------------------------
- Now that you've discovered the Shareware version AMY'S FUN-2-3 ADVENTURE,
- why not pass it around to your friends so that other children can enjoy it
- too? Feel free to give copies to other parents or your PC-equipped school
- or daycare center.
-
- Be sure to give them the original "FUN23_10.ZIP" file that you originally
- downloaded to assure that they are getting the program exactly as it came
- from us. If you no longer have the "FUN23_10.ZIP" file, run the "RESET.EXE"
- program to reset the sound options for Amy's Fun-2-3 Adventure, then copy
- all of the files onto 2 or more disks (since all of the uncompressed files
- will not fit on one floppy disk). Then have your friend copy all of the
- files on the floppies into a new directory on their hard drive. That's it!
