Neuromancer / Dragon Wars



      [NOTE: This page was last updated on June 25, 1999]

Several years ago, Shareware Solutions II purchased Big Red
Computer Club's inventory of unsold commercial IIe/IIc entertainment
software products. A total of 17 different titles have since become
available from Shareware Solutions II at bargain pricing.

Of the 17 games originally available, only Dragon Wars and Neuromancer
remain in sufficient quantities.  So effective immediately,
Shareware Solutions II would like to offer these two games for a total of
$15 (this price includes air mail postage to anywhere).

Neuromancer is a "cyberpunk role-playing adventure" game based on the best
selling novel by William Gibson. The science fiction scenario takes place
in 2058, at a time when "skill chips" are routinely implanted into
people's brains and cybercowboys can easily jack into cyberspace's matrix
simulators. It's a nightmarish world in which artificially intelligent
humans run amok and zap brains with neural shocks, and it's a world in
which you are armed with only the skills, equipment, software and
information that you find along the way. If you're lucky, you and your ROM
construct will soon be breaking into government and corporate computer
systems. If you're unlucky, you'll soon be dead.

Dragon Wars is a fantasy role-playing game by Bill Heineman. Many light
years from Earth, on the small planet of Oceana orbiting the star Sirius,
there exists the wondrous but violent land of Dilmun - a land of islands
and cities, lush forests and rubble-filled caverns, slave markets and
slums. This world is populated with evil entities, madmen and lunatics,
ghoulish ghosts, powerful dragons, killer beasts, sadistic slave drivers,
and strange people who perform and teach outlawed magical feats. In charge
of this world is the mightiest sorcerer of them all: the evil Namtar, the
Beast from the Pit.

As Dragon Wars begins, you'll find yourself in the poverty-ridden city of
Purgatory. All you know is that your goal is to defeat Namtar. Your first
task is to assemble a party of adventurers. Once your party is assembled,
you'll go off in search of adventure, and it won't take long for trouble
to find you. You may be approached by a band of thieves, or unjustly
accused prisoners, or a giant spider, or a guard, and all of them seem to
have just one thing in mind: they want to kill you and massacre your
party. You'll therefore need all the weapons, ammunition and magical
spells that you can beg, borrow or steal if you ever hope to meet up with
and defeat Namtar.

Both Dragon Wars and Neuromancer require an Enhanced IIe, IIc or IIGS
computer with 128K and a 5.25" disk drive. And for only $15, you'll get
both games. Such a deal!

As always, only checks or money orders, in US Funds only, can be
accepted.
