Did you see the movie "Bullit"?  During the car chase scene in San Francisco
they were going down these hills.  Due to the way it was filmed a lot
of people felt thier "stomach drop out" everytime they went down another
hill.  It was the same feeling one has when riding a roller coaster.  You're
experiencing the same thing in Wolf3d.
