Dragon's Bane: Mah Jongg II
Medieval Mah Jongg -- lotsa fun!
     Mah Jongg, that popular solitaire tile game from Nels
     Anderson, has just moved to its second generation -- and
     acquired a medieval theme with tile sets of knights,
     dragons and castles. Other tile sets are provided, and with
     the included tile editor you can design your own tiles! Mah
     Jongg II also has a layout editor and extensive
     record-keeping (for those who like statistics). It supports
     both VGA and Super VGA (VESA 1.2 and others supported);
     mouse and Sound Blaster are optional.
Requires: 640K, VGA (SVGA recom.), hard drive
SS ID#: HD0144    SS Dist. Cost: [NOT $8] BUT $4

Fire & Ice
Hot (and cool!) platform arcade game
     Holding out for a hero? The good guys are, after the evil
     Suten threatens to destroy the earth with his favorite
     element -- fire. The hero turns out to be Cool Coyote, who
     lives up to his name, residing in a polar igloo. Directing
     Cool Coyote, you tool around icy levels, freezing little
     bad guys with your snowballs -- and then bouncing on them
     to shatter them. There are hidden objects to find, amazing
     graphics, cute music and sound effects, and lots of fun.
     Fire & Ice is a platform game, which means it's
     two-dimensional, like Commander Keen and Mario Bros.
Requires: EGA/VGA and a hard drive
SS ID#: HD0146    SS Dist. Cost: [NOT $8] BUT $4

NetRemote v6.0
Remote access and control program!
     NetRemote is a remote access and control program. It lets
     you take control of a second PC over a phone line (or a LAN
     connection), which means you can run that PC's programs,
     control it with your keyboard and mouse, view its display
     on your screen -- and treat the drives on the remote system
     as virtual drives you can access as you do your own. As a
     "remote control" user, you can access data, print reports,
     or observe the operations of another PC user (great if you
     want to provide support to others from the comfort of your
     own chair). Features include drag-and-drop file transfer;
     remote reboot; dial-back connections; bidirectional drive
     mapping; support for up to 24-bit color and resolutions up
     to 1280-by-1024; and network support for IPX/SPX and
     NetBIOS. Includes both Remote and Host software. (The
     Remote software requires Windows; the Host software
     operates within DOS or Windows.)
Requires: 386+ CPU, Windows 3.1, 2MB RAM, modem
SS ID#: HD0139    SS Dist. Cost: [NOT $12] BUT $6

NetSpades v1.1
Spades! Alone or with friends via modem
     It's the classic card game for four: you can play alone,
     letting the computer fill out the other chairs -- or you
     can play online, over a modem or network against other
     people! This game is really slick, fun, and funny. The
     programmer, Dan Samuel, gives you lots of "smiley"-type
     toolbar buttons you can click to "bonk," insult or
     otherwise communicate with your opponents. You can also
     type your own comments; a scrolling chat line at the right
     of the screen keeps up with the chatter and the bids. You
     also get your own onscreen representative -- whose look you
     can change at will to reveal your emotional state
     (laughing, snarling, and everything in between). You may
     have so much fun playing with the interface that you'll
     forget the game for a while. But do play! The computer
     opponents are challenging, and you can adjust rules
     regarding overbidding and nil bids. Everything about this
     program shines, from the humorous sound effects to the
     quality of writing in the help file.
Requires: Windows 3.1
