It's a fun novelty, but it needs work before it will make for great game navigation. There is also a stop cursor since, with the VR engine, once you're going you tend to stay in motion until you bump into a wall or something. The book says inventory items have a flashing yellow highlight where they can be used, but that's not always true. The puzzles are alright. The rest are the usual trial and error inventory manipulation.
Installation is simple.
Pop the CD into the drive, auto start kicks in, and the splash screen asks you if you want to play. There's no formal installation, it just creates a folder for your saved games and gets on with it. Every time you begin play it loads the Virtual Reality Engine, I suppose into that 30 MB of temporary drive space it requires. Not a bad game if you don't mind navigating like you just came from a really great party. If you want historical fact, I can recommend a good biography.
