Unlike traditional walkthroughs, the 128UHS lets you select questions and view only as much information as you 129want -- from subtle nudges to full answers -- so that you can finish 130solving the game on your own.</p> 131 132<p><a href="mailto:[email protected]">Jason Strautman</a> 133created the UHS in 1988 and has maintained it with the help of many 134others, including <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Bob Norton</a>. In 135its present incarnation, the UHS format supports sounds, graphics that 136progressively reveal themselves in a hint-like fashion, and hypertext 137linking of hints. Not all UHS files use these features, especially 138since many older files were written before the UHS format supported 139its present features.</p> 140 141<p>The UHS was created with the intent of designing a common format 142that allowed gamers on all platforms to exchange and read each other's 143files. (That's why we call ourselves "Universal".) We provide <A 144HREF="/hints/readers.php">hint readers</A> for DOS, Windows, and 145Macintosh users. In early 1998, we made most of our hints freely 146available via our website, via an advertising-supported service formerly called "UHSWeb."</p> 147 148</div> 149 150<div class="header-bar"> 151<div class="header-bar-title">Quotes from Our Readers</div> 152</div> 153<div class="header-bar-post"> 154 155<p>"I just quickly wanted to write and let you know that this is hands down the 156best hint collection for any game I've ever seen. 157You've done an excellent job of progressing the hints by difficulty, and I 158really appreciate that, as I am determined I'm going to mostly do this by 159myself. But every now and then I'll need a push in the right direction, and you are 160awesome at giving that little push without giving ALL of the answers at once. 161 Other hint sites *claim* they do that, but the first hints are either so 162vague as to not be helpful, or way more than I'm looking for. I love this site!"</p> 163 164<p>"Thank you for keeping me from killing my PC. Your hints are the most 165well arranged and articulated of any cheat/hint site. Helpful, without 166giving away too much. Keep it up!"</p> 167 168<p>"Thanks for the UHS. A great program, easy to use and an answer to 169every frustrated adventurer's dream."</p> 170 171<p>"I love your site. It is the best site to help you through a tough 172time in a game without ruining the game with codes or too many secrets."</p> 173 174<p>"I've been using UHS literally for years -- it is the best hint 175provider out there!"</p> 176 177<p>"I really like the UHS hint system over most guides that simply walk 178you through the game, without letting you figure anything out on your 179own."</p> 180 181<p>"This is the first time I have used your site but will 182definitely be using it again if (no, when) I'm stuck. Thanks."</p> 183 184<p>"I appreciate this free service to the gaming community. It allows 185someone with little time to fully enjoy the story line, yet still get 186help when stumped without having to look through a spoiler that gives 187away too many pieces."</p> 188 189</div> 190 191 192</div><!-- /content --> 193</main> 194 195<footer> 196 <p class="fineprint">© 1998–2026 Universal Hint System. 197 Hints on this site may be copyright by their respective authors, as noted within each 198 hint set.
