CHEATS & GUIDES
Due to the highly complex nature of strategy computer games, strategy guides have appeared on the market. In the early days, these types of games although complex to a certain extent, were playable with a bit of perseverance. Nowadays, they are so complicated that some users found them not only difficult to work through, but just about impossible to play. Hence the strategy guide was born. Not only are there guides available for the most complex of game, but also for games like Roulette and cards games such as Poker and Bridge.Another natural development was the cheat. In much the same way hackers try and break a computer system by infecting it with a virus or even worse disabling it, gaming enthusiasts with time on their hands and a flair for how games are designed and programmed, have over the years, spent a considerable amount of time finding short-cuts and ways to overcome the limitations of the game. Whilst you’re playing a game and only have a knife to fight with, a couple of keystrokes later and you can have the entire arsenal at your disposal. If you are low on health or are about to die, a few mouse-clicks in the right place will give you invincibility and immortality.
Cheats for most games are free and can readily be found on the internet if you look hard enough, whereas a great deal of effort will have been put in to writing and publishing a strategy guide, consequently you’ll have to pay for it.
