I wonder, though: Is there a way to make a game sufficiently challenging that won't leave players feeling ripped off that they never saw a "game over" screen? I like being challenged, but I don't like "dying"... Thanks for the tip, Jadey.

You had to fight back for your life, By killing red and blue 'baddies' you gained back health (red) and mana (blue) the more you got, the more health/mana you came back with. I think that some games, (by making them for joe public) they have a tendency to make it too easy for example (Zelda:Twilight princess) I NEVER once saw the game over screen, I didn't die ONCE... Shame, wish it had been more of a challenge. Now give me somehting like Ninja Gaiden black and we're talking. I died so many times i should have a real life funeral for it. anyway enough of my rambling. jadey 'Save trees....Eat a beaver' Prey had an unusual death state.
