Somehow, it doesn't make sense to me that if you aren't interested in, let's
say, chess, you would try a chess program to see how challenging it is, and
it sounds like you are saying that you would do this.

Hi Tom.
I haven't actually! at this point pirated any games to try them, i merely
pointed out that this is a motivation which I've observed some people
have, and one thing I might considder myself if occasion arose, for all
that I'd always want to support developers of accessible games as much as
possible.
Another way to considder things might be as borrowing, since after all
back in the days before I tried many downloadable games, it was quite
common for my friends and I to swap games around to see what they were
like even if we didn't necessarily buy a copy. Of course, sometimes we'd
borrow a game from a friend, really like it and want! to buy a copy (such
was the case with weaponlord for instance), but that was by no means
certain.
On the experience point, One thing I have noticed is that the more complex
the game in it's controls, interface and actions, the more difficult it is
to understand until you have played it.
A basic sterrio targit style game is relatively easy to know what is going
on from listening to a demonstration, since after all all you need to
master in the game are quick reactions. But something which is designed
more completely as a realistic game where the user needs to develope
skilsl in order to play, ---- games like swamp, zero site, Lone wolf and
of course rail racer are quite another matter.
It was more this aspect I was thinking of with raceway. Frankly I don't
myself know (or indeed have that much interest in), the rules of either
formula one or! nascar racing because as I said racing just isn't
something that interests me. if I bought a racing title, would depend
entirely on whether I found the games mechanics and mode of play actually
to my liking, which is something I could not determine other than by
trying it myself.
the same might be said for sports titles like Jim kitchin's golf or
baseball. I have no actual interest in the activities of playing golf or
baseball, and was therefore primarily interested in the games from the
perspective of their challenge to the player, which is something I'd only
understand by trying them.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
