This feature was rejected 7/24/2005: We thought about this, but the only games which this would actually work on is Classic Games (non-advanced). When you play an Advanced Game, you get a "Game State" which contains all of your items, visited links, variables, etc, and so on. If you "Played From Here" on an advanced game, you would get a "blank" state, and that would probably not be very helpful to you as an author. One thing you could do is just put a temporary link on your first page that takes you to the complex sequence.

While making a game, you need to test it by playing it, obviously. Sometimes I want to test certain parts of the game. For example the Driving chapter in Cryptode. For me to test this, I have to go through my game to get to that part. The editor should have an option [Play from this page] or [Play this chapter].
