first hints. Maybe we could use the Database feature of the the Yahoo

I Agree stonger hint are a good idea, Check my help page on the
lasertank website. It has some hints and pictures shoeing the hard
levels half way through. I think this is a great way to help
people.If some one asks me for a playback I will usually send them
one, nut I will send them to the help page first. I think it would be
great if we expand apon the help page on my site. Or at least have a
HTML file with links to hints and then links to better hints from the
