EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Rated in COMPUTE Magazine as "One of the 
World's Best 101 Programs" 
    REDUCE  EMPLOYEE  TURNOVER.      Employee turnover is extremely 
expensive.  It reduces production and increases internal friction.  
Use the EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM to: 
    HIRE THE RIGHT PEOPLE.  Every job has its own "ideal personality".  
Would you place a quiet, thoughtful person out in the sales field, or 
does that job require a self-motivated go-getter?  EMS evaluates the 
personality needs of any job according to your specifications.  Then 
it will instantly tell you which of your applicants matches that job 
requirement. 
    KNOW THE WORK PERSONALITY of the applicant in a matter of minutes.  
Discover the positive work traits, decision making methods, stamina 
level, management methods, and performance characteristics of any 
employee/applicant in less than five minutes. 
    KNOW WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR EMPLOYEES.  EMS tells the MOTIVATIONAL 
and DEMOTIVATIONAL factors for each employee.  This will help the 
manager know how to motivate an employee, to make that employee happy, 
and also how to avoid demotivating that person. 
    REDUCE ADVERTISING & INTERVIEWING COSTS.      EMS keeps track of 
all employees and job applicants so that when a position opens, 
applicants can be matched to the job immediately, without having to 
repeat the expensive hiring process. 
    The Employee Management System is an accurate and amazing answer 
to the task of hiring employees and then keeping them happy once they 
are hired.                            Regis 95.oo

AMAZING TUTOR COMPUTER LEARNING COURSE 
Also includes the NOTEABLE MUSIC COURSE 
    Is your computer confusing to you?  This is probably because you 
do not understand DOS, the Disk Operating System.  DOS is the heart of 
your computer.  Trying to use a computer without knowledge of DOS is 
like trying to build a house without a foundation.  AMAZING TUTOR 
teaches you how to use DOS in easy-to-understand, non-technical 
language (we speak English).  This wonderful course will have you 
understanding your computer in a very short period of time by way of 
its hands-on approach. 
    NOTEABLE is a terrific music course which teaches the notes of the 
music scales.  It functions in a competitive game format which 
provides higher scores for quick identification of notes.

help the individual better understand his own personality and those of 
friends, acquaintances and loved ones.  It is the "personal" version 
of our popular Employee Mangement System.  It works in several ways: 
    PAS IS ACCURATE.  The accuracy will astound you; people find it 
amazing. 
    IMPROVE YOURSELF.  PAS helps you know yourself by describing your 
strengths, motivational factors and demotivational factors.  You can 
use your strengths and build them to your advantage. 
    JOB MATCH helps you to determine whether or not a job fits in with 
your basic personality.  Is the environment one that will encourage 
you to work and motivate you to produce your best?  Will it allow you 
to use your personal skills to the utmost?  PAS uses the same basic 
"engine" as our popular Employee Management System, but the report 
produced is focused toward personal lifestyles.  
    PAS encourages open communication between adults and teens, 
helping to bridge the "generation gap". 
    PAS is valuable as a personal communications tool between friends, 
marriage mates, business acquaintances and any other relationship 
where personality is a strong influencing factor.   Regis 95.oo

EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 5 
    ABSOLUTE POWER.  EMS5 is our incredible next generation 
personality program.  It includes everything featured in our basic 
Employee Management System package, then adds the following features: 
    STRESS EVALUATION SYSTEM.  Stress can be very detrimental to your 
business.  Excessive stress in employees causes irritation, loss of 
production, and eventually loss of that employee.  EMS5 shows you key 
areas of potentially harmful stress so that you can help your employee 
overcome that stress before it becomes a business liability. 
    PERSONNEL DATABASE SYSTEM lets you track important employee/ 
applicant information.  Define your own information requirements and 
design reports according to your needs.  Keep records of any employee 
information you want:  vacation and sick leave, work experience, 
personal and family information, job skills, and much more.  PDS ties 
in to the Personality Evaluation Program to provide you with extensive 
reference capabilities.  Do you want to locate all applicants in your 
files that live within your city limits, are age 18-34 and have 
outgoing personalities?  With PDS you can do this and much more. 
    COST EFFECTIVE.  The EMS line of programs provides versatility and 
power at a low cost.  Unlike many other programs of this nature, there 
is only a single, one-time fee.  There are no "per report" charges, no 
additional costs.  EMS was written specifically for the business 
environment.  It is not an "adapted" psychological program.  It does 
not  "pull skeletons out of the closet".   EMS will save you money, 
make your business more productive, and improve employee/management 
relations.  Let us demonstrate EMS to you.  We think you'll be amazed. 

The EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 5 is a powerful business package, yet 
is very easy to use.  It offers you the benefits of: 
    *PERSONALITY EVALUATION         *STRESS ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT    
    *PERSONNEL DATABASE             *APPLICANT TO JOB MATCHING    
    *IMPROVED INTERVIEWING          *DESIGNING WANT ADS
    *EMPLOYEE TRACKING              *EMPLOYEE/APPLICANT HISTORY 
    ...and more.  Like standard EMS, this program has NO RUN-TIME or 
REPORT charge.  This makes EMS5 a very cost-effective business 
investment that will more than pay for itself the first time it helps 
you improve employee relations.  EMS5 is more expensive than EMS, but 
our clients agree its advanced features are worth every penny.

ANOTHER LIFELESS PLANET AND ME WITH NO BEER 
also includes  COMPU-NERD 
    NOBEER is an incredibly funny science fiction adventure game that 
is, astounding as it may seem, logical.  It was created with the 
GAMESCAPE adventure development system.  In NOBEER, you are an 
astronaut who has crash landed on an alien planet (again).  Beware the 
BLADDER BEASTS, SLURPERS, AIR SQUIDS, and above all, the deadly PUN 
PALM (really, we're not kidding.  That Pun Palm is a pain...  We're 
just not frond of it at all).  ANOTHER LIFELESS PLANET AND ME WITH NO 
BEER is an adventure gaming must have.            
    COMPU-NERD is a tongue-in-cheek program that tells you if you have 
the dread maladies Computerus Nerditis or Bozoitis-Jerkonus.  Are you 
a computer nerd?  Find out today!         Regis 10.oo ea 
============================================================== 
GAMESCAPE GRAPHIC  
    GAMESCAPE is a powerful program that enables you to write and 
distribute your own graphic adventure games.  Gamescape contains an 
"adventure engine" that allows you to describe locations and rooms, 
objects, recognizable words, messages, and occurrences that happen 
within the game.  You can also include sound, music, and any of the 
standard IBM special graphics characters (terrific for mapping).   
Gamescape encodes information so your game secrets cannot be 
deciphered by end users, and allows games to be "linked" so your 
adventures can be of any length.  It provides you the ability to 
design incredibly detailed and large adventure games with great ease.   
Once the game is finished, registered users are allowed to distribute 
the games with no royalty fee-- the initial registration is all that's 
required.  
    Even if you don't want to write games, Gamescape is an excellent 
system for learning basic programming principles.  If you've had 
trouble figuring out how to program your computer, Gamescape may be 
the link you need; it is very easy to learn and use. 
    The registered version of Gamescape now has the ability to include 
high-resolution, color graphics in your games, to make them more 
marketable than ever before!

RINGWIELDER 
also includes GIANT SPACE SLUG 
    RINGWIELDER is an incredible non-computer role-playing game that 
features the worlds of both fantasy and science fiction.  The full set 
of rules is included on this disk in text form.      In a "role-
playing game" you take on the characteristics of someone (or 
something) from the realm of fantasy or science fiction and play the 
game as if you are that character.  While RINGWIELDER does use both 
the worlds of fantasy and science, the occult and extreme violence so 
prevalent in other games are omitted.  This provides a viable 
alternative to those who are offended by such things.  RINGWIELDER is 
easy to play and fast-moving.  The rules are easy to understand, but 
interesting enough to hold the interest of even the most advanced 
gamer.  RINGWIELDER was ten years in the making.  The entire rule 
section is contained within this disk, along with an offer to obtain 
the official, collectors-item set and club membership.  
    GIANT SPACE SLUG is an arcade game, the classic game of Worms at 
supersonic speed.   Regis 35.oo (Ringwielder)    10.oo (Slug)
==============================================================
FUNGAL MAN GAME PACK
Also includes MAROONED AGAIN, FALLOUT and SWINE !    
    Prepare for the worst.  Fungal Man is here.  Idol of tens of 
people.  You are the intrepid super-hero who has one purpose in life:  
to destroy the deadly mutant fungal blobs by trapping them in the 
damper pods.  FUNGAL MAN is a "thinking arcade" game which includes 
nine scenarios ranging from easy to moderately difficult.  You can 
also design your own scenarios and turn them in for entry in our 
quarterly contest.  Registered users can distribute their scenarios 
(no royalty fee) and make millions of dollars (well, a few bucks 
anyway).
    MAROONED AGAIN is our highly acclaimed funny, science fiction 
adventure game.  Unusual as it sounds, it is logical!  Marooned Again 
is also somewhat of a "Nobeer Part 1", and has the same theme of a 
stranded astronaut trying to get off an alien planet.              
    FALLOUT and SWINE! are excellent arcade and strategy games.

    How TRY-THEN-BUY works:  SHAREWARE is a term which refers to a 
method of marketing.  Fully-working demonstrations of the programs are 
made available for a small duplication charge.  You are allowed to try 
out the program for a short period of time (usually 10-30 days).  If 
you decide to continue using the program, you must register (according 
to Federal law).  If not, you discontinue use of the program and pass 
it on to a friend.  Registration usually brings you extras like a 
printed manual, the newest version of the program (often containing 
extra features), full telephone support and the right to legally use 
the program.  Shareware is a wonderful way for you to examine our 
software before buying it, which is a good deal for both of us.  It 
means that when you do buy our product you're already satisfied with 
it.  That's the way we like to do business.
