I play it in the evening too most of the time and some things are still
hard to see. The game is very dark when you get inside the building
where you first go. I usually don't have much trouble adjusting light
and dark for games, but this one is more difficult, as it is either too
light or too dark after adjustments. It might be just this part of the
game that I have a problem with too dark or too light.

Yes, thats often a good idea. By the way, when you first start the game
in the cut scene with Yeesha, do you find that when the camera pans
around that the picture is a bit blurred as if the camera is going a bit
too fast? When the camera stops panning and the picture is still, it is
not blurred at all. Just wondered. I would think thats how the game was
made. Otherwise, it would be blurred also when the camera is not
panning.

Haven't come to that.

You are probably quite a bit ahead of me. I just got out of the elevator
to a new place with small buildings or whatever they are so haven't done
much.

OK.

Wow the price really went down on that one.
I see Amazon has it for $19.99 US, even for the "collector's" version.
