	Hmmm... ok, my mistake then.  Though sometimes I tend to think of UW's
and SS as not "true" VR games... maybe because they do not give you motion
sickness. :-)
	Which makes me wonder: if LGT's games are not fast enough and ID's
are too limited in their viewpoint, then is it possible that Apogee's new
upcoming engine (to be used in "Shadow Warrior") will be a marriage of both?
Hence perhaps the first "true" VR system?
	And when do people think that the day will come that some sort of
implement is used to give us a total game experience encompassing our TOTAL
160 degree (?) vision?
