Agreed

If you mean an environment like DOOM but without the gameplay, I can't
remember the number of times I was told to 'play' when at college :)

In addition I noticed a CD on sale a few days ago that claims to be a true 3D
graphical representation of the interior of the STTNG 'Enterprise', complete
with manipulable objects, it isn't a game it seems, no lazer blasting etc.

Has anyone seen this?

Is this 'STARWARS' without the gameplay?

best wishes,

Steve

P.S. Look out for the CAT animation "Art Dream" by David Haxton
