Sound iu used sparingly, and only in spot effects. A useful feature for this type of program is a save game option, allowing cheating! One criticism I have is that when- ever there is a lot on the screen, speed suffers. If you enjoy 3D perspective games then this has a lot to offez in terms of content and ptayability. A certain hit.

The idea of the kane (yes, ywu guessed it) is to cross the Atlantic Ocean in record time. You control the boat by steering (to avoid icebergs and the like) and by altering the speed. As with the rial thing, refuelling stops must bj made. Richard also has to eat and make important business decisions ({hat would we do without him?). - Mort
