Holy Software, Batman...! Received Starnet's due diligence package, which included the World Gaming CD-ROM. I had NO IDEA things had come this far. If you keep the CD in your CD drive it plays accompanying jazz music! You can hear people murmuring and glasses tinkling, just like in a real casino. The games have totally realistic sounds and the graphics are bloody phenomenal. The female dealer even tells you if you've won, lost or pushed. They have TWO virtual casinos you can play in...a western-style saloon theme, and an ADULT one called "Sizzle Towers" (sounds familiar), complete with images of semi-nude girls on tables and cards. Played Blackjack until I went blind. Lost over $2,200 in play money...the program knows you're playing from North America and automatically only lets you "play for fun." Smart...good way to cover their derriere. Called the Starnet guy back to gush; spoke to a lady in Marketing instead - who says they're finishing a Lite Japanese version...complete with a "little Japanese girl's voice." I still can't stop laughing...un-freak'n-believable. ;0) ///M
