It is no exception.  It proves that a game can be:

 A) System/OS friendly
 B) Multitasking
 C) Technically superior
 D) Fun

The fact that it (Mindwalker) has accomplished these things proves that
anyone else who is willing to invest the time can do the same, and
anyone who says otherwise is either misinformed, lazy, or greedy (or
some combination of the three).

Regards,
Chris
