Other than having a similar sort of graphics, you can't really compare the two games. W3D is an arcade twitch game, pure and simple. UW a simulation with some traditional RPG aspects thrown in (I know it is supposed to be an RPG first, but it seems like the whole spell system, etc., were added after the fact). Along the same lines you could compare Zork and Word Perfect--they both let you enter text, after all :-) -- James Hague exu...@exu.ericsson.se
