	I agree!  I received the game as a birthday present and was
very disappointed when I finished it in a matter of hours!  The graphics
are excellent, the sound marginal - should of used more of the audio
track of the cd.  The interface lacks a lot but what can you expect from
the original creator of MacPlaymate and Virtual Vallerie? :^)
