I dared to download the demo. It looks quite good but a 603 is really low
end when you want to play 512x384. 640x480 is way to slow to be playable.
A 604 is almost a must for this game.
But here's a more serious point. In the first room (more I haven't tried as
it's a little bit late) I made the figure hang in the air after I climbed up
and went to the book and afterwards to the edge. There was no contact with
the ground. I used the software renderer (at least I had configured the game
like this). With hardware rendering this doesn't happen.
See the private mail for a screen shot.

Regards,



Wolfgang
