I'm in your court on this one, Gerry; of course, I'm stubborn and obsessive,
which helps with levels that are driving me nuts.
However, I know some people personally who take great pleasure in solving the
kids, easy, maybe medium levels, but puzzles aren't really their strong suit.
Because of this, they would rather stick with the easier levels, and enjoy
themselves than push too hard, and get more stressed out. After all, it's a
great game, but it's not world peace; I think it should be fun for the widest
variety of people, and having the various difficulties works pretty well for
that. As for watching a playback file of a level one hasn't solved, if you know
you're not going to solve it (for whatever reason), I could understand how it
would still be interesting to see the solution if the level itself was really
interesting or mind-boggling in some way. Why would someone who isn't good at
puzzles be playing Laser Tank? Maybe they want to see if they can improve their
problem-solving skills, or maybe their son or daughter chalenged them to try
it...there are many possibilities, I'm sure.
I like the idea of a hint file for the Hard and Challenging levels; but you're
right, it would be difficult to put together.
