- I was under the impression that they were run on 040 axel A3000's. I played
- both the stand up and sit down (I won them both, thank you :) and felt myself
- thinking that the graphics could have been done better. They're not slow,
- just not well done. (The background is kinda nice.) If you get lucky you
- will get to just walk around for a while to get used to the gear, if you do
- take a look up. The stars are beautiful. (Make sure you wipe off the lenses
- first, they tend to get smudgy.)
