And I do!
Really though, it's just annoying. That old detective game that had the "real world" innovation of a bunch of web sites and an e-mail server? I kinda wish I'd finished it at the time, because all those sites are down at this point, so the game's incomplete. A puzzle game is pretty much worthless if I just use an FAQ, so in the end I wasted my money. This is the digital age, there's really no excuse for scarcity of anything.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
