       "DOUBLE CHEATING,OR NOT..."

all of you have probably read the TRIAD
  GAMERS GUIDE...
  in this magazine they always say this:
  "DOUBLE CHEATING by ......."
  but what is seen under DOUBLE CHEATING
  is the question!
  does something like that really exist?
  for instance you have this...
----------------------------------------
      do you want UNLIMITED lives?
       do you want MAXIMUM lives?
    do you want c= to INCREASE lives?
----------------------------------------
if you think this is TRIPLE CHEATING
  then what do you think of this...
----------------------------------------
      in which level do you START??
     do you want to SEE THE END now?
      do you want c= to SKIP level?
----------------------------------------
TO SEE THE END is MOSTLY the SAME as a
  LEVEL-SELECTOR!
  so,what do you think about this?
  if you think the first example is
  TRIPLE CHEATING,you should also see
  this as TRIPLE CHEATING!!

only a few groups (like X-RAY and AKRAK)
  use both things in cracks,and count it
  as a '+'...

but all other groups only do the second
  thing and count it as '+' and say that
  the first example is lame,only to have
  MORE PLUSSES!!

i personally also thought it was lame!
  but now i really thought about it,i do
  not share this opinion anymore!!

in BILDZEITUNG 5 ARROGANCE also wrote a
  little article about this and he said
  he won't count UNLIMITED,MAXIMUM and
  FILL UP LIVES as 3 seperate trainers
  but that he will only count the one of
  UNLIMITED LIVES...

well,first let me tell you why someone
  put trainers on a game...

trainers mostly SPOIL the FUN!!
  they are only made to make a game
  EASIER to play and to finish!!

to get back on the 2 examples of "DOUBLE
  CHEATING" i gave you:
----------------------------------------
"do you want UNLIMITED lives?" is very
  USEFULL because now you can play the
  game till the end without starting all
  over again!

"do you want MAXIMUM lives?" is also
  USEFULL.  just imagine that you play a
  game,but when you almost made it,you
  always die and that was your last life
  but when you got MAXIMUM lives you'll
  just be able to make this level!
  it's not like UNLIMITED lives because
  when you have this,you don't really
  play the game,you just shoot or walk
  but you don't care if you die!!

"do you want c= to FILL UP lives?" is
  also very USEFULL. please imagine the
  example i just gave of the game you
  just don't make...
  if you don't want to have UNLIMITED
  nor MAXIMUM lives,but want to play it
  without any trainers,this one might be
  very USEFULL. now you can play it
  without trainers,but you can increase
  your lives whenever you need to!!
  maybe there's a difficult part in the
  game which you never could do because
  of a shortage on lives.  well,this is
  the opportunity to do this part!
  and after you made it,you can play the
  game TRAINERLESS again!

"in which level do you START?" is very
  USEFULL because now you don't have to
  play the game all over again,but you
  can start wherever you stopped!

"do you want c= to SKIP level?" is very
  USEFULL to skip parts of the game in
  which you got stuck for some reason!!

"do you want to SEE THE END now?" is
  just a little EXTRA as it has no use
  in the game itself!
----------------------------------------
so maybe the only DOUBLE CHEAT here is
  the last one!
  this is just an extra,and has nothing
  to do with the game itself!!

therefore i think it's complete nonsense
  to count UNLIMITED,MAXIMUM and FILL UP
  lives as only 1 trainer as it are 3!

well,that's my opinion about it!!
  i'm very interested in what all of you
  think about it,so be so kind and check
