Shadow of The Beast is definitely NOT unplayable. I asked a while back for someone to post any cheat modes for this game, but got no response, so I gritted my teeth, grabbed that joystick, and put in a few more hours on this game. Now I can regularly solve it, like most good coin-op arcade games all it takes is a little reflexes and even less memorization. The one thing about SOTB I did not like is the ending. Either I'm not doing something right, or all there is is one congradulations screen. Very disappointing. On a side note, seen the Killing Game Show. Looks very good, takes more memorization than SOTB but you can restart where you died, and start at any level as well. Graphics are impressive, sound effects/music even more so. Right up there with Power Monger on my list of games to get next (unfortuanately Power Monger isn't out yet). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | "But I didn't expect a Spanish Inquisition !" | Robert Stetler | | "No one EXPECTS the Spanish Inquisition !" | UCSC Cats Operations | | -Monty Python | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------
