Shimrod [email] 23 Mar. 17:49, from: 129.125.21.106, orange
Shimrod>> Isn't that the greatest game ever? I just love the way
that dragon flies! It really shows you what 'swooping' is all about!
Shimrod [email] 23 Mar. 17:49, from: 129.125.21.106, orange
Shimrod>> Very true! The dragon flightsim is indeed quite incredible,
but I think the cameramotions in caves kinda suck, don't you?
Shimrod [email] 23 Mar. 17:50, from: 129.125.21.106, orange
Shimrod>> Yes, just like Tombraider and other games like it, they should've
written better camera routines.
Shimrod [email] 23 Mar. 17:51, from: 129.125.21.106, orange
Shimrod>> Oh well, still a great game though. So what are you doing now?
Shimrod [email] 23 Mar. 17:51, from: 129.125.21.106, orange
