	I don't know.  I think that the hardware just isn't going to pick
up enough steam to allow fast access for SVGA in most games that require
real-time stuff.  For non-real time (adventure, strategy), I agree.

	Sadly, you may be right.  But, look out, becuase if 7th Guest manages
to catch on, CD-ROM is about to be the hot item (I know if I could afford it
I'd be there, especially after seeing 7th Guest).

>--Science-fiction adventure and role-playing games become much more frequent.

	I would say that that is already the case.....

	Nope.  The designers know that if it's pretty it doesn't have to 
be terribly complex to sell.  A few will come out here and there, but 
I think the adventure market will stay the way it is.

	Would someone mind telling me what 3DO is?
