[games_access] games_access Digest, Vol 101, Issue 8

[Ian Hamilton]

Yep totally agree. If you skip back 20 years or so to old Atari and Nintendo games it was all about brutal fixed difficultly, three lives then you're out, and as a result there was very high demand for people to hack away and find out the developers' back doors that they had put in for testing purposes. 
Since then developers have gradually started to realise that having to give up due to impossible barriers is not what makes a game fun, so now you often have check-points, choice of difficultly levels etc.. Although it's by no means there yet, at least that's one area that there has been some progress in!
