I agree but let's use a mud I'm playing for example (aardwolf). If you want to play this game, point your telnet or mudclient to aardmud.org port 4010. Basicly I just got into the game and explorered and learned from other users. You shouldn't give the entire game away before you let people play it. Thta's the good of muds and most modern video games. You have to do your own explorering. Of course, you aren't just left in the dust. You have newbie help, books, you can obtain new books and there are people to ask for help. You also figure things out on your own. Of course, bomb blaster will not be multi-player so you can't use people to help you. But perhapse a training school that you go through where you are guided and you have to do what ever you do and a trainer is there walking you through it. That's what happened when I first entered aardwolf. I went through training and was given very week oponents and allowed to pick up objects with a trainer (automated) walking me through it. It's more realistic then a readme. Also, with a training session, you don't need a learn sounds menu because you'll hear them while learning unlike readmes.
