Fully playable, most is icon based. Some areas you must experiment around, such as *saving*, *sound control*, *brightness control* and a few other things that I haven had the courage to try. ;) The first part of the game puts you in a cemetery (you're a Samurai), you have these Geisha (sp) girls floating above the ground, plus many other strange characters. I've explored very little, but the game is loaded with options, like I said before, most is in icon form...the rest you have to experiment with. What really impressed me was the clarity, and type of music used. If you're familiar with contemporary Japanese music, I swear KITARO produced the musical score. Very *mystical* and *haunting* style of music. Loading the game is a bit tricky, since all options are in Japanese. 1. Create a TEMP directory in your C: drive 2. Unzip each file to that directory using -d option of PKUNZIP 3. From C: type subst a: c:\temp 4. Change to a: and type INSTALL 5. (in Japanese now) First option: A: 6. Second: C:\DEVIL 7. All the rest use the Y option 8. To run it you can use either: PLAY.BAT (puts you right into the intro screen. PPLAY.EXE automatically checks your system for Joystick etc, then brings you into intro. >You mention zip files, etc... do you know where I can get them? (if >you think it is somewhat legal, of course). The legality issue can be questioned ;) I will be very happy to offer it to anyone. It should be available in most larger BBS. This game has not been released commercially here in the states. Strictly Japanese release, and only about a couple months old. Whats so great about the Soundblaster compatibility with this game, is that this game was created very recently and in Japan. So for it to be compatible with the 750(c) gives me great hope for future games. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a gaming junky ;)...it's just nice to know that your IBM Laptop is not strictly all business! :) I'm using config's game option, 618 free conventional. With this I get an occasional system lockup when I exit the game. But when I use my regular (no NOEMS setting in line) setup i experience no such problem. >Also FYI: check out Castle Wolfenstein 3D game on the thinkpad! The >first episode is available public domain (let me know if you need >a place to ftp it from). It also works well with the thinkpad >sound (soundblaster mode). The music sounds very so-so, but >the digital sampled sound effects come through very well (machine >gun blasts, doors opening in echoing hallways, nazi's shouting, etc)! This is nice to know Todd, I'll try it. Thanks, Joseph Pereira
