Manycompanies make you dial an expensive hint line if you happen to get stuck. While I don'trecommend using them, I'll admit I peeked at them several times. Like mostgames ofthis genre, the key to winning is to explore and try everything. The graphics in Connections are average. They do the job nicely without slowingdownthe computer.
Most screens are still pictures.
The screens look rendered, butdon't havethe same awe-inspiring effects games like Myst have. On rare occasion doesanythinganimate. For this type of game however, the graphics more than suffice. Onscreenswhere music is playing, it's very good. From classical music to typical wild west saloon tunes, it allsounds great.
