Not to mention the fact that is always has happened (how I miss peek's and
poke's for inivite lives on my Spectrum games) and always will happen...

I for one will be a little sad when games don't come with great cheat-modes
or ways to cleaverly gain a few extra advantages. It adds to the enjoyment
and helps embaress friends who can only see things by cheating! (Completing
Doom II in God mode. Pah...)

Sorry Steve -- for continuing the thread, but too many people take this
subject too seriously.
