    What happened to the satisfaction of finishing a difficult game
using your own wits and brainpower?  These days, it seems like everyone
wants the solution if they can't get through part of game on their first
try!  Reminds me of this guy on a pirate IBM BBS who asked for a
"trainer" for Lemmings II the same day it came out.  His reasoning? 
"There are so many games that I like to finish them as quickly as
possible and then download the next one".  His exact words.  At least
try to finish the game under your own steam first.  Don't give up at the
first sign of difficulty.  No wonder we don't see anymore games like
Dungeon Master anymore (IMHO, one of the all-time best games for the
Apple IIGS).
