through shareware outlets, and in 1991 released its first graphics
arcade/adventure retail-only game. MVP Software is a member of the

Your Quest
----------
It's long after the nuclear war and the only surviving humans live
in a few domes across the country. You are the fiercest warrior of
the age and a refugee from Oil City, one of these domes.
You received a strange message from Hoosier City, another domed
city. It seemed to be a distress call but was abruptly terminated
at the source before you could be sure. No messages have been
received since.
You must go to Hoosier City by helicopter and check out what has
happened. As you arrive at the Hoosier City dome you are attacked
by its automatic defense system. You skillfully pilot your copter
between the enemy pods and take out an enemy gun position with your
rocket. Then you approach the landing pad.
Upon landing on the dome you take the elevator down to the center of
the city. You walk out and the elevator doors lock securely behind
you. Immediately you notice that the inhabitants of Hoosier City
are hideous mutants. You know now that you must rid the city of the
evil mutants and discover the fate of the true citizens of the city.
A few of the citizens may still be in the dome. If they are they
will help you complete your mission. But unfortunately the only
weapon you possess is a sword. Nevertheless you are determined to
be victorious.

The Hoosier City Dome
---------------------
The dome is an incredibly large structure. It occupies many square
miles and is inhabited by various creatures. Some are friendly but
most are not. The dome was constructed over a lake to provide water
for the inhabitants.
You may enter most structures. The entrances to some are hidden.
To discover the entrances to these you must listen to friendly
citizens hiding in Hoosier City. You will find them hiding in caves
and other places. They may also tell you how to find weapons and
equipment guarded by the inhabitants of the dome.
There are many underground caves, passageways and secret places in the
Hoosier City dome. Discovering and exploring these is crucial for a
successful completion of your mission.
Some areas of the dome are sectioned off by doors. To open these
doors you must have a key of the corresponding color. You must have a
pass card to open security doors. White doors and secret passageways
open without keys. Opening chests also requires keys of the
corresponding color.
Treasures
---------
Scattered around the dome are items you will need to succeed in your
mission. These include the following:
Money bags -- These contain anywhere from $50 to $250. Money can be
used to buy ammo from the various Bob's Stores in the Dome.
Dollar Signs ($) -- These give you $1,000.
Hearts -- Picking up hearts adds to your health quotient.
Half Hearts -- adds to your health quotient.
Full Hearts -- These bring your health to its current maximum.
Health Vials -- These bring you to full health and extend your health
meter.
Life -- adds a life to your current game.
Keys -- Picking up green or red keys adds to your respective totals.
They can be used to open doors or treasure chests.
Freeze Clock -- stops all enemies for a short period of time.
Zap -- kills all enemies with poor armor that are on the current
screen.
Weapons
-------
Following the letter W on the upper left of the game screen is a
weapons list. Initially it is blank because you have no weapons.
When you acquire a weapon it will appear there. There are many
different weapons you may discover. The sword and the axe have
unlimited ammo. All other weapons have limited ammo. The number of
shots remaining appear under the weapon.
Equipment
---------
You must find four pieces of equipment. These are armor for
smashing rocks and taking half the damage your enemies inflict on
you, the flashlight for seeing underground, the boat for navigating
across water, and the aqualung for underwater travel.

$30 for trilogy that completes the story.
Catalog vendors: Please include Hoosier City: Assault of the Orcs in your
printed and disk shareware catalogs. For best sales results
use one of the above descriptions. In addition, all MVP
product listings MUST include the words "by MVP Software" or
"an MVP Software production." This encourages repeat sales,
which is good for both of us. The only exception to this is
if the catalog has a separate MVP Software section. No vendor
may charge a fee of more than $10.00 for the shareware version
of this product. Vendors are encouraged to contact MVP
Software directly to get the latest version of the product
and to be added to our mailing list for direct mailings of
updates & future releases.
Rackware vendors: Please read our rackware distribution policy below.
Hoosier City: Assault of the Orcs may be distributed via BBSs, shareware
printed or on-disk catalogs, and at swap meets, flea markets or computer shows.
For all other forms of shareware distribution please contact Dave Snyder at MVP
Software for distribution permission.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RACKWARE VENDORS
MVP Software has a policy on shareware rack vending to which all vendors
selling our shareware in a retail location MUST adhere. No MVP Software
shareware product may be sold on shareware racks in any retail location
without prior written approval from MVP Software. This policy affects Hoosier
City, plus all other MVP products. Many of our shareware products are also
sold in retail versions. We do not want our shareware versions to undermine
these sales. Thanks for your understanding.
All MVP shareware products may be sold via catalogs, mail order, telephone
orders, flea markets, computer clubs, and any other method that does not
involve sales in retail locations.
We will give permission to rack vendors to sell our products in retail
locations only if the following conditions are met: (1) The vendor must pay
MVP Software a royalty on all copies sold in retail locations. This does not
include any other type of shareware sales. Suggested royalty is 10 cents per
copy sold. (2) The vendor must provide reports to MVP Software not less than
quarterly of all rack sales minus returns.
Rack vendors meeting the above conditions must still receive written
authorization from MVP Software to distribute our products on shareware racks.
Permission may not be given in all cases; the decision will be on a case-by-
case basis, and we usually will want to inspect the packaging before granting
distribution permission.
I apologize to those rack vendors to whom these requirements seem onerous.
However, this is the only way we can control how our products get distributed
to make sure we have both a return on our investment and a reasonable chance
at getting a registration.
We really appreciate the distribution that vendors give us. And we will con-
tinue to work with vendors to make both of our businesses prosper. Thanks for
your understanding of why this step is necessary.
And just to be clear: the above requirements do NOT apply to catalog sales.
