I would say that it really depends on what one wants and/or likes to get from
games, and what makes them fun for the individual.
I remember back in the days of my old bbc computer, and later my SNES, sega
megadrive, and then my sega satern and nintendo64, the good old button bashing
method was
I couldn't have put it better, Liam. I play games to be entertained,
not for the purposes of being "the best."
My earlier post was to correct Charles' misunderstanding of how gamers

I don't see how this is related to pinball?
You make all excelent points, but the situations seem rather different from one
another. About the only penalty for hitting the
paddles constantly in pinball is the fact that the ball may go between them
while they're pushed out towards the center of t
No game penalties are imposed for missed shots and this is out of line
with reality. Actually, in real life three penalties apply. First,
time wasted cannot be recovered. Second, wasted energy which may be
recovered in time if the player survives long enough. Third, and most

Although this has nothing to do with Liam's panel, it does fall in line with
the subject line, so here are my thoughts, and I would like yours:
Some people claim that they can play a game without being able to see when
