I started the sneak peek on a 486 and I ran like a baby (is that an American

:pretty dreadful, and I have no idea how Sierra thinks that they'll be able
:to get a workable multiplayer game out of the thing, but as far as the
:engine itself goes, I haven't been this impressed with an adventure game in
:years. There aren't nearly enough games that dabble with 3D graphics that
:handle anywhere near this well.
: Plot-wise, who knows? It looks like yet another Ultima-style go-here-do-
:this-go-there-do-that sort of game, but how many adventure games don't end
:up being like that?
: This, folks, is insightful commentary.
