Corollary, no paper manual and NO tutorial... so you want me to screw up in a game that counts simply to learn the game? Great...

PDF manuals are okay, but I much rather they do it the way like Alpha Centauri or with compiled HTML. This way, you can look up terms and go back and forth. Sure, you can link in PDF documents, but you can't go back.

I like Simearth too, but ever since I got my new computer the Geology model has been acting up. in the precambrian (geologic time scale) whole chunks of a landmass would dissapear suddenly and be replaced with a bunch of one-tile islands. it seems to be a bug the the plate tectonics engine because it doesn't happen when I turn continental drift off. Has anyone else have this problem?

I also hate PDF manuals... I never read them- I spend too much time staring at a computer screen as it is!!!
I thought you are a computer?

I hate sequels that cripple and/or remove features.(the wall-jump on Metroid Fusion is crippled and useless!)

Plus sequels that build on the worst parts of the previous ones, and cut out all the best parts. (cough) Moo2 (cough)
PDF manuals that you need to refer to when playing, resulting in Alt-Tabbing breaking the atmosphere (especially when Alt-Tab doesn't work properly).
Games that crash just as they autosave, corrupting the file.
Cynical cash ins: GarbageTruk Tycoon (EGA)
Cynical cross-genre cash-ins: Civilization Overlord 3D Attack the FPS!
College student project models relabelled as games: Sim Train Timetable!
Games that selectively misquote reviews on their packaging: "As good as Baldur's Gate! PCCaper" from "even with a million years more development time the syphalitic monkeys responsible for this piece of excrement could never come close to making it as good as Baldur's Gate!"
To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
