Hi Michael,
Do you think making an option where random monsters could be turned
on/off would be a fair solution? In the end the end user could choose a
classic Monty, or a Monty with random elements.
If random monsters, random gold, random gems, were turned off it would
basically be the classic game you knew and loved. If turned on it would
have some of the features I think many are asking for.
This way I can basicly settle the issue with both sides, and might
actually up the replay value of the game. If people get sick of the
classic game they can reconfigure the audio, monsters, etc.
