Hi charles, There is allot of fun in learning to play a game. Yes, it seams frustrating at first, but in the end when you beat the game and there is nothing new it looses it's hold and replay value really quickly. Giving out cheats or hints only makes the fun faze go away much faster for me.' I remember when I baught SOD 1.0. I can remember playing every day for about three months trying and trying to beat the game. At least so I could get 20000 points and get cheats. Well, as I recall I didn't get the 20000 points until I beat the boss the first time, and for some reason I forgot to write out my cheat codes, but it was fun and satisfying beating the game with no outside help the first time through. I noticed once I did get those cheat codes there was some humor in blasting through walls, being untouchable by monsters, unloading all the ammo I wanted, but never as fun as having beating that first game all the way through with no outside help at all. Hmmm... maybe I'll go play now on today is a good day to die. My favorite level. Smile.
