Hi. I'm the person who originally upload this text adventure to 
gmd.de...in the hopes that others would like it, REGISTER their copies, 
and receive hints for the game from the author.

The following is the text of the letter that accompanied the hint sheets 
I received in exchange for my REGISTRATION:


.....I have decided to release the full version of the game as shareware. 
Since the size of the suggested contribution has been lowered, I am 
returning your check. If you still wish to contribute, a check for $5 or 
$10 would be sufficient. However, if you got the game from a bulletin 
board or users group library, I would prefer it if you would replace 
older shareware versions of the game with this new release. Just send me 
a note stating that you've made the replacement and I'll consider you a 
contributing user eligible to receive clue sheets....

The clue sheets I received contained coded answers for the following 
questions (and many more).

What's with the obelisk in the giant arena?

How do I get past the curtain of dust?

I'm having trouble climbing the vines.

How can I escape from the robots outside the city?

Is there a way past the rubble at the bottom of the hole?

Is the tree important?

How do I make the shuttle work?

How do I deal with Zelmar?

Is there a way out of the rift valley?

What is the cable for?

How do I use the strange machine properly?

What is the medallion for?

The electric corridor robots are still killing me!

(This is only about 1/3 of the hints provided.)
Also, a map of the canyons is included with the hint sheets.

Ok, enough of my arm-twisting! If you've enjoyed the game so far, cough 
up $5 or post it to a local BBS and help out text adventures by 
supporting the guys who take the time to write them! (No, I am NOT 
the authors brother-in-law.... =)

The address for the author of Rimworld is:

Happy Adventuring,
