Ack!  Choke...

Well, it sounds like a wonderful idea, but another adventure game,
we do not need.  The technology for running the game out of the
Netherlands is impressive, but, well... frankly, the old //e games
just leave it shattered into a million pieces.  I'm not impressed.
And, I really, -really- failed to be pulled into it, as I would
expect any VR (or $2.49 movie, for that matter) to accomplish.

Better luck next time, and congrats on a lot of work done.
