well at one stage I thought of buying it.
in fact at one stage I managed to get the ability to run the full version on another system.
I never got the navigation off.
it was like run and die so I never really got it working for me.
though I have never bothered about the latest gma title to.

Hi Dark,
Everyone I know has problems with Monkey Business because of the poor
navigation aids. I don't exactly have an easy time of it either, but
have learned enough of it to get around after some painful trial and
error. Thing is Monkey Business is a poor example of an accessible FPS
type game. Something like Shades of Doom is a more accessible example
of a really good FPS type game, and in fact my Genesis Engine will
have many of the same navigation aids as Shades of Doom and Sarah as
that seams to be what works for most people. Only mine will have a 3d
aspect to it rather than  a 2d aspect.
One thing I have learned from Monkey Business is always give a
customer a demo version to try before they buy.  I think if I would
have played a demo of it before hand I would not have purchased it
either. However, I haven't regretted the purchase just felt it could
have been done a whole lot better.
