       Ads make a big difference.  It shows you the game in motion.  It gets 
you to see the actual game.  I thought Castleania: Symphony of the Night was 
gonna be stupid.  I saw a commercial and I saw how many frames of animation 
there was on just who ever it is running.  It was amazing.
       I don't know of 2 people owning the same PC game.  One person gets it, 
he installs the game and lets everybody use the CD to install.  You can get 
TR2 off the net without the FMV and music (which will make the game suck).
