Hmmm. I wonder how much I'd enjoy this... I mean, there are two things I can say about all the games I've loved and played to death in my life (starting with Manic Miner!):
1. I played them slavishly, hour after hour, day after day, until finally I reached the time when I'd "had enough", and the game was put to the side.
2. I've returned to them later (much later), wistfully remembering my many happy hours, and wondering if I can resurrect my old enthusiasm - only to find the game, well, flat. Not exactly *disappointing*, but nowhere near as enjoyable as once they had been.
I guess this is natural, especially if you play the game "to death" as it were. It always makes me feel a little sad, though - like I've lost something. Sigh... Blubber...;-)
Shrug,

So, do you consider "Romantic Fiction" to be an inherent contradiction too, simply because it doesn't take you out to dinner and send you flowers?:-)
