You are about to embark on a new and exciting journey. One that will fill you with a sense of wonder and discovery. Light and sound will mix like a kaleidoscope to thrill you as never before. At Interplay, we believe that creating a new experience such as this requires more than just using the latest advances. Technology simply provides us with new tools to invent a product that is bigger, better and more exiting than anything we've ever done before. And the CD-ROM provides us with a larger canvas on which to create our vision. What makes this title unique is how we have used this new medium to develop an exntertaining product. Our approach is similar to an integrated Hollywood sutdio where we combine the talents of many creative individuals. Writers who put thoughts into words. Artists who give words an image. Musicians who enhance the image with sound. And programmers who magically combine technology with art to make it all a reality.
