Re: [Audyssey] Another Draconis thought
The trouble with that is most games still have at least an instruction booklet. Like, if you get a game for the ps2, an rpg say, you get tutorials as you play but the instruction booklet is another way to refer to it. - Original Message - From: dark [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 7:56 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Another Draconis thought Sounds good, and certainly an improvement on the html issues.

Re: [Audyssey] Another Draconis thought
for reading the manual initially i agree, but in esp pinball extreme where the gameplay, and largely the keys, actually can change from table to table I find it to be a pest if i just want to quickly bang on the game for five minutes after a long stretch of absense. i love reading manuals before I start playing a new game, but to read manuals again and again just because I haven't played a certain game for a while feels rather redundent to me. that's one thing i really like in Jim's games, and the gma engine, there are ways of very quickly reviewing keys and basic gameplay instructions from within the game.
