STARBARK  I don't really understand why the developers would charge for an app like this. The information available aren't even theirs to begin with. It's all over the Internet. Yes, I understand, their selling point is CONVENIENCE. But nah... still don't understand. I guess I'd have to resort to searching for cheats and walkthroughs. It's not that much of a hassle anyway.

KRYSTOF VASA  Some of the game cheats are hard to find. Mostly when the Mac cheats are slightly different than those on PC. Example may be Wipeout 2097 - the cheat codes are completely different. We go through the web and choose only the working ones.

We are not charging for the information we are providing, but for the time we have spent collecting this whole database. It's not a matter of hours, but days, to get the whole Codebook's database (which we are using under permission) to work with Gamer's Help and we have also spent a big amount of time crawling the web for new cheat codes.

At the moment, we have over 550 games in the database and about 770 entries. The database is growing. I believe that when some people can pay extra money just for a better GUI, they may also pay something for the convenience of having everything in one place.

Best regards,

Krystof Vasa

CASTLE  Nice little app. Needs to use a fixed width font for displaying walkthroughs, though. I'll be keeping an eye on it!
