If you seek instant gratification, a game depicting every pilot, airplane and rustbucket on a playing field encompassing 70% of the planet might not the best choice.

- Use as small a monitor as possible.
- Do not play when tired or short on sleep.
- Take care that there is sufficient lighting in the room.
- Be sure to take a break of 10-15 minutes every hour"

Alfred doesn't scare me. I imagine him to have a giant cerebrum with 90% of his cardiac output going to his brain so you could probalby get away from him if you had to. [:D] What scares me is the guy who knows where the randomizer code is in the EXE file and can re-run the turn for the best outcome. [:D]

There was an old Grigsby game..perhaps Pacific War, where some of the code was in BASIC. I remember reading the BASIC code and finding out the "AI" was just reading the position array of opposing forces. [:D]

How about "Thou shalt not have a photic-stimulation induced seizure" That one scared Hell out of me on page 2. That's why I stopped reading the manual.
