Hello all.
I know it's not fair to compair games like Pacman and Space Invaders to
pinball because of what you mentioned. I'm only thinking of the time
factor here. While it's true that in a real arcade situation one goes
and spends hours there without being able to save the game, this is not
reality here. When you play computer games you are already entering the
world of imagination. This is the whole point.
Tom brings up a good point in that with saved games one is effectively
cheating. Take Shades of Doom for example. I have done this and I know
most of you have. You save just before going into a room so you can
replay it over and over in case of a monster who is hard to kill. For
this reason I like the style of saving which is in place for Monkey
Business. You can start and continue at each level but you cannot save
from within the level itself.
Again, I'm only stressing the time factor here. I'm not suggesting saved
games should be available to allow cheating. At least one solution which
would work is a system where you can only save at the beginning of a
level, not in the middle.
Again, only for reasons of time spent.
