- By now (1.99p5) *many* games that didn't work before now do. Ones
- that I can think off off the top of my head are:
-
- Rescue
- Realmz
- Swoop
- Space Madness Demo
- Sim Life
- Sim Tower (reported by Ziv Arazi)
- Simcity 2000 (also reported by Ziv)
- PegLeg Demo
- Deliverance Demo
- Wordsmith
- On the Edge
- Montana

- Whenever you try to play a game, be aware that you may need to turn
- Pretend Sound on in Executor, *and* turn sound off in the game itself.
- It's a shame that you have to jump through these hoops, but there's no
- simple solution.

- We very much appreciate the thought behind that offer, but we really
- don't want donations. Once you've paid for your copy of Executor, you
- should keep your remaining money. However, if you want to help us
- out, there are many things you can do. One simple thing is to surf
- the web and let webmasters know about http://www.ardi.com/ when you
- find a site that logically should have a link to ARDI's home page.
- Now would be a good time to write letters to magazines, since we're
- fairly close to having a beta product. Tell your friends and family.
- Send bug reports. Answer questions that appear on the mailing list
- (and that will appear on the Usenet group).
-
- It's not that we don't need money -- we do indeed, since we have to
- buy a CD-ROM recorder, pay for a three city press tour, and pay for
- the first run of Executor 2.0 CD-ROMs, *but* we want everyone to know
- that once they pay their licensing fee, we will not only not hit them
- up for more money, we'll actively suggest that they *don't* send us
- anything extra.

- Phil> Keep up the marvelous work, and thanks again.
-
- You're welcome, but please keep your money.

- Phil> Read ya, Phil (now playing rescue every evening
- Phil> again!!).
