Hi Dark,
As a game developer I find your comments and suggestions most helpful.
So as I understand it as long as I design my game engine a long the GMA
engine, which I am, including such features as place markers, visited
here before announcements, and even try my best to give each room a name
n the control scheme, as if everything turned with the
character, you would lose the perspective of what is around them.

Hi Jim,
Certainly having a 5.1 surround sound headphones and sound card

Hi Dark,
A good point. Not to mention if I'm intentionally creating a maze in the
Tomb Hunter games like David with Shades of Doom an unexplored navigator

Yes, I am a fan of mazes too. Not to mention in games such as the Tomb

I'm with you there dark, I won't mind the odd maze here and there. Even

Though mindless difficulty isn't fun either, but that's where
