Hi Bryan, Yeah, that was why I took out the strange effect James North was using. In trying to create Monty I am attempting to give each item a very realistic sound scheme. Bryan Peterson wrote: > I like the new sound better. It sounds more like what I would expect a > spider to sound like. >

Hi, Well, the manual states you can jump up to 4 feet in either direction. The real trick with this game is to listen closely, probably stand still, until the monster is near and jump over it. That said you have to train your ear to do this. If I put in a announcement, sound, or some kind of ind

Hi Phil, Thanks for the various suggestions. I've never quite thought about it quite that way, but interesting to think about. As for your beep idea I do remember James North had special approach sounds that played when the monster was close enough to jump over. For example skulls would do a lit

Hi Lukas, Yeah, not having the feature certainly is more challenging, but demand for the feature is mounting. I suppose those of us who want a challenge doesn't have to use it, or I can restrict it to only easy levels of play. Neo wrote: > Hi, > I do strongly encourage you to leave it as it is
