Toldja I need graphics. 
No real portal page, and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to show them to make them want to play -- it's text based; I don't have anything flashy or particularly cool to look at. Ideas would be nice. Perhaps big, neon-green, italicized text, and flashing images?

Uber, you need a front end to launch your site.
What if you went to some web-designing websites and offered a partnership where you supply the game and they do the pictures and colors?

Not really keen on that. I've written and run the whole thing so far, and I'd like to keep it that way as long as I can. Sentimental value, you see -- I started it over three years ago as a calculator game, and I don't like the thought of having other people's name or company written on it.
I'll mess with it a little, redesign the portal site, and try to make it more appealing. It's still at the tail end of the development stage, so I haven't even been thinking about marketing until recently. Bulletted lists of features and backstories are popular with this sorta stuff, right? Screenshots wouldn't do much, since the game has the same layout as that page you saw...

Uber, I'm almost out of beer now.
They gotta have a reason to go inside.
They have to be tempted.
What are you offering?

Casinos, crackhouses, bordellos, games, police raids, mafia involvement, concerts, raves, wet t-shirt nights, commercial espionage, and custom drink mixing. I s'pose this should be on the front page?
