I hereby give my approval for the inclusion of the shareware versions of Rummy Drop, Poker Drop, Blackjack Drop, and/or Lochness Solitaire on your CD. :-) You can download the latest versions of these games at the following URL's: Rummy Drop v2.1: http://www.haversack.com/rummydrop/download/rumzip.zip Poker Drop v2.1: http://www.haversack.com/pokerdrop/download/pokezip.zip Blackjack Drop v2.1: http://www.haversack.com/blackjackdrop/download/jackzip.zip Lochness Solitaire v1.1: http://www.haversack.com/lochness/download/lochzip.zip 3-in-1 Solitaire Drop Pack v2.1: http://www.haversack.com/solitairedrop/download/setup.zip I'd say the best single choice for inclusion on your CD is probably the "3-in-1 Solitaire Drop Pack", which includes Rummy Drop, Poker Drop, and Blackjack Drop. The pack has a nice and easy InstallShield setup program, whereas each of the individual games requires manual file-copying to install. Good screenshots for each of the individual games can be found at the URL's below: Rummy Drop v2.1: http://www.haversack.com/rummydrop/images/rumshot.gif Poker Drop v2.1: http://www.haversack.com/pokerdrop/images/pokeshot.gif Blackjack Drop v2.1: http://www.haversack.com/blackjackdrop/images/jackshot.gif Lochness Solitaire v1.1: http://www.haversack.com/lochness/images/lochshot.gif Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for considering Rummy Drop!

We do not offer any royalties per CD sold, we are just offering free distribution. The upper limit of games that will be on the CD will be about 10 different games. Finally, we handle support for the interface of the CD, but any problems the game will have, you will have to give support for that, if you offer support for the shareware version. If you have any more questions or concerns, fell free to ask away.

I've seen a couple of your titles at the local software store. Naturally, I'm excited about including Rummy Drop on your retail CD. But before agreeing, I have a few questions. Can you answer them? Thanks! 1) Do you distribute the shareware version or the fully registered (i.e. enabled) version of games? 2) What kind of royalties do you offer per CD sold? (even for unregistered versions, I've found there's often a few cents royalty) 3) Can you guarantee an upper limit on the number of games that will be included on the CD along with mine? (of course, as an author, it isn't particularly exciting to be one of the 1000 games in a huge multi-pack) 4) Who handles support costs for games on the CD? Me or you? Again, thank you for your interest! I hope we can proceed. I have just finished "3-in-1 Solitaire Drop Pack," which includes Rummy Drop, Poker Drop, and Blackjack Drop all in one package. I also have a fast-paced, 60-second solitaire game called "Lochness Solitaire" that's getting a great registrations. You can find the latest versions of all my games at http://www.haversack.com.
