	Which is older?  UW1 or Wolf-3d?  If the answer is the latter, then
that is where the crown of the 1st VR-type game should go to.  I am not talking
1st 3D games: they came out LONG ago... (Microsoft Flightsim #1?)... I am
talking of games which make you REALLY feel like you are there.  Before wolf
3d, no other game made me dizzy everytime I turned.  Though you could not look
up or down, it still felt kinda real.
	Anyway, these things constantly improve: SSock has taken the home VR
engine one step further... leaning and crouching is not seen that often.  I
guess the next step should be the ability ot look automatically sideways like
one naturally does... (human vision is 180 degress, not 120 or so degrees that
all current games (VR or not) give us).
