Hi Charles, Yeah, makes sense. I remember a Star Wars game sort of like that. In Dark Forces there were cheat codes for 90% of the game, but if you tried to fight Darth Vader or any of the other bosses the cheat codes would be disabled. That was a big problem because if you were using cheats like unlimited ammo and didn't have any ammo/power in your weapons you were done for. The only way you could battle the bosses like Darth Vader is to play the game completely through without cheats and then you would have the ammo, experience points, and skills required to perhaps survive a battle like that. As someone who hates cheats I kind of like the fact that some developers build in pros and cons for using them rather than giving you unlimited ability to play the game all the way through with cheats.
