Passwords
Sent in by Driako The Unlucky
In Gex for Game Boy, the only problem was the password. It is 22
characters long consisting of two types of arrows pointing in
different directions (it doesn't sound like a lot, but I wrote the password
18 times. Check my quick mental math, but that seems to be about 396
little arrows).
No, that's not it. With 22 characters, its easy to make a mistake. This is
a game my brother owns and he lost the instructions (naturally). I
played through several levels only to realize I couldn't figure out how
to write the password. After several days of hair-pulling, I finally
figured out how to type it. When I typed it, I realized I made a mistake
and had to start all over again. Guess what, it gets worse. I played for
over an our and beat several levels. I then wrote down the password. It
was incorrect again, all that stuff I accomplished flushed down the toilet.
I then tried the password I said earlier didn't work. It did. I made a typo,
urgh that was horrible! By now, I was complaining how much I despised
the game to my family (though I wouldn't stop playing it) and managed
to fix the harm I did. I messed up three more times, which although
horrible, I could bear. I finally got the message and started rechecking
my notes 4 times. Guess what? I messed up again on one of the tougher
levels in the game! I had to beat that level all over again!
