Please provide reviews if you have them. > It's nicely done, beautiful animations, but with a solid plot and 3d motion from scene to scene, so it's not just a string of animations. It has an embedded arcade game, but it crashed on me.. in fact, that brings me to the bad part of my review: not only did it crash there, but when it installed quicktime drivers, it spoiled everything for two other disks that use qt, substance and critical path. I had a devil of a time getting qt back up and running, and I'm an advanced user. What I saw of it, the first 20 minutes or so, were enough to make me go back and try again sometime. -- _____________________________________________________________________________ Jesse Montrose jesse@netcom.com jesse@xaostools.com ftp.netcom.com:/pub/jesse World Wide Web information with ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/jesse/html/home.html
