What really gets me is the fact that the bugs are pretty easy to spot. Errors in
tutorials, some in the control features. All this takes is for someone to go
over them to check, and if someone did do this then they should be given the
sack if that is their job, because missing so many things is quite pathetic.

I have bought many games more complex and larger than what CM6K and CM7K were.
And never had a problem nor ever needed a patch to fix bugs mainly cause there
were not any that required worrying abouut, or that you ever knew of.

I just wonder what you would do with the Playstation or gameboy versions of
chessmaster if there were so many bugs in a program, No chance for patches
there.

I just do not think that mindscape put in the effort in making this program that
they should. Put a pretty interface that looks pleasant, add some nice
multimedia features, sell it to the mass market.

I just wonder how many times your system crashes and you think it was just your
computer playing up, when in fact it had to do with poor programming.
