Hi, And I really don't t hink the three levels are good examples. Call me crazy, but it took me forever to figure out how to follow the professor to the lab. Then there's the Aztec temple? That has to be one of the hardest in the game. I still have not gotten past that rock in the entrance. Best Regards, Hayden

Hi Dark, Everyone I know has problems with Monkey Business because of the poor navigation aids. I don't exactly have an easy time of it either, but have learned enough of it to get around after some painful trial and error. Thing is Monkey Business is a poor example of an accessible FPS type game. Something like Shades of Doom is a more accessible example of a really good FPS type game, and in fact my Genesis Engine will have many of the same navigation aids as Shades of Doom and Sarah as that seams to be what works for most people. Only mine will have a 3d aspect to it rather than a 2d aspect. One thing I have learned from Monkey Business is always give a customer a demo version to try before they buy. I think if I would have played a demo of it before hand I would not have purchased it either. However, I haven't regretted the purchase just felt it could have been done a whole lot better.
