These could be either minor or major setbacks. Installation from the CD resulted in no problems. Exploration runs from DOS, not windows. Once the game is running, you are given the choice of controlling one of five different world-famous explorers. The game is driven by menu commands which are accessible by clicking on them with the mouse.
All menus are at the top of the screen.
I found that the way which these commands were structured was clumsy and not very logical. Many times I wanted to select something but first had to go through several other screens to do so. Also, I feel that some commands should have been accessible by just clicking on a certain ship instead of pulling down several menus and selecting that ship from a list. As far as the graphics go, I was really disappointed. The graphics are blocky and simple.
