From: msheehan@cybernautics.com Subject: VRML: New VRML game online Date: Mon, 15 Sep 1997 12:16:07 -0700 Message-ID: Organization: CYBERNAUTICS INC. I wanted to let you all know that there is a new VRML game out there that you should probably check out. It has been optimized for most to enjoy. All that you need is about 32 MB of RAM, CosmoPlayer 1.0 and Netscape 3.0X. The site can be found at: http://vrml.sgi.com/ ...and go to "The Terrible Samaritan" (by Cicada Interactive) link. The coding has been designed to load scenarios on an "as-needed" basis (e.g., when the player approaches them). Download times are significantly reduced using this method. You should try it out. This game incorporates Java/VRML to give you some nicely modeled landscapes and objects (camels, crowns, fallen angels, swinging bridges, etc.). You can even save your game for later...let me know what you think! Do you think that VRML gaming will take off on the Internet? Do you think that The Terrible Samaritan is a good example of VRML gaming? Have you seen other VRML games on the Web? Please let me know...I appreciate it!
