"The Mines" is designed to be viewed with the Cortona 3+ VRML plugin. Although most of the VRML is standard, this game does make use of the Cortona "Drag/Drop" sensor, and plays the MP3 sounds through the Audio node.

Please read the "Game Help" before you start the game so that you understand how the "Drag/Drop" sensor functions. It is used twice in the game

The game makes some use of Javascript - so this should be enabled.

The abilty to play mp3 sound files requires that DirectShow be installed.

It has been tested on a PC running Windows 98 with both IE5.0 and Netscape 4.7 with the Cortona 3+ VRML plugin

To test your system click here to open a "popup" window that shows a rotating VRML cube and should play some sounds.
