Captn, your way over the top with your comments on Woz. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand the game after a dozen or so plays. But it does take many dozen games to understand the subtilties, which is what a home owner wants in a game now a days. To your point that it's too confusing to the causal walk up player, on the contrary. The game attracts the casual player with its light show, the lcd screen, the sounds, etc. After throwing in a couple of bucks, the casual players are going to have a general understanding of how to go forward.
The physical manual has been widely praised for its thoroughness. The game play section is not a Sears manual...
You need to tone down your dislike of the game if your going to make the points you've been writing for some credibility.
