or what you could do is have certain monsters carrying and certain who do not. so at each kil you think please have something for me and then when they don't then you would be under more pressure another feature I would love although I do not know if this is possible is 2 modes of play. one called say "normal" where one plays the games at their own pace and then "timed" when you have only a certain amount of time before that level or part of the temple caves in after years of disuse

Hi Ron,
Now, that I think of it there might be another way to add some randomness to the game without going through lots of trouble to do it. The Genesis engine does allow enemies to carry special items on their person. This could be a key, potion, scroll, whatever. Anyway, in short what I could do is randomize what items the enemies are carrying. After you kill them they will of course drop whatever it is they are carrying. Well, if I randomly select that item from a list of possible items you will never know if it is the gold key you need, a healing potion, a scroll, bonus points, extra life, etc. In other wordswhatever is dropped will be different from game to game. I don't know why I didn't think of this earlyer. Sheesh, it is a pretty darn good idea.

Hi Tom

Now indeed I can totally see the trouble and amount of work that attempting that would generate. It's now understandable how much more there is doing that with a side scroller game. Thanks for the explanation.

Take care
Ron
