                                   COLORS
                          REGISTRATION INFORMATION

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHY SHOULD YOU REGISTER?


REASON #1 :  REMOVAL OF PAUSE

   First, you probably want to get rid of the annoying unregistered pause
along with the "this version isn't registered" message whenever someone enters
the game.  Sure it's not a big deal, the pause is only long enough for someone
to just get through reading the message; but once you've registered it, the
pause and message will be gone completely.

REASON #2 :  ALL OPTIONS AVAILABLE

   Registering COLORS will also enable all of those disabled features in
the game.  All of the most basic elements are available in the shareware
release, but registering will add so many more useful and fun options.  Make
your version stand out among all of the other local BBSs running the crippled
shareware versions!


REASON #3 :  SUPPORT

   COLORS is the result of hundreds of man hours of work; including design,
coding, and play-testing.  Considering the amount of time spent in it's
creation, the registration fee is nominal really.  If you're really curious
about the amount of time it took to make the game, check out the modifications
history file from [B]ulletins.  It's huge, and it only contains the features
added after I began beta-testing it on AI.

   But more importantly, I still have dozens of ideas to implement in the
game.  If people like COLORS and register it, it will encourage me to
continue working and making the game even better.  If no one registers it,
there's absolutely no way I can know if anyone's actually running it out there
on their BBSs and if it's even worth continuing work on it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW MUCH IS REGISTRATION?

     The registration fee for COLORS is $15.00 (U.S.) or $20 (Canadian).
Hardly much at all really, considering the cost of postage and handling for
getting your registration disk out to you.  So what else can you get for $15.00
(or $20 Canadian) these days?  Nothing down at the computer store (well, maybe
a magazine or some disk labels or something).  There are virtually no on-line
games currently with a shareware registration fee of less than $15.00 and most
of them aren't nearly as good.

!!! BONUS !!!
   If you know good on-lines when you see them, register both of my games:
The HUNT and COLORS.  The HUNT is a role-playing game based in an "Escape
from New York" type world.  After WWIII, you are hired by a city-turned-prison
to get it back under control and elminate anyone getting in your way.  Watch
out for the other players who may help you, but will more likely think nothing
of offing you for the price on your head.  If you don't already have it, look
for it from the same place you found COLORS.
   You can register both COLORS and The HUNT at the same time for $20 (U.S.)
or $30 (Canadian)!  You'll want to register The HUNT later anyway, so register
them both now and save yourself $10!

WHAT FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS CAN I LOOK FORWARD TO?


   If people actually register their copies of COLORS, I'll keep improving
it.  Below is a brief list of a few enhancements you can look forward to:
 * COMPUTER GANGS - Gangs controlled by the computer.
 * EXPLOSIVES - Car-bombs, building bombs, etc;
 * MORE COVERT OPS - Cause dissent and hatred among and between gangs;
 * MORE INCOME METHODS - Hold-ups, robberies, etc;
 * GAMBLING - You have some money, try doubling it;
 * BETTER MESSAGING SYSTEM - Full-screen editing, mail-lists, etc;
 * GANG LEVELS - Members get better with experience;
 * SIDE EVENTS - Short side adventure events for a little more variety; and
 * INTERNET - An internet version of COLORS.
 * ENDLESS - The list of features I could continue adding is endless!
   Whatever else I can come up with!  Suggestions welcome!
