All I can say is that if ITS ever actually oes come out, and it looks anywhere 
NEAR as incredible as this demo does, I'm gonna be the first in line to buy 
it!!

The characters look so real I would swear that it was really actual digitize 
footage dummied up to look like polygons!  I have a P-100 only 8 megs ram and 
a generic S3 2 mb PCI video card.  If this demo wasn't running at at least 
30 fps, I certainly couldn't tell.  So, to whoever was bellyaching about how 
horrible the demo is, all I can say is...  Why don't you just keep playing 
Wolfenstein 3D and let us play with games like this, your IBM PC XT turbo just 
can't hack it.
