True, but it is this aspect of "modern game design" (or lack of design, in my
opinion) that totally ruins their staying power. I'd say you'd have to have a
really high midichlorian count to play Tempest to over 400k, starting at
level one. Difference is, you want to play Tempest again, and again, and
again........
