Controls are configurable for either keyboard or gamepad. Quick save and load are a boon, particularly compared to games suffering from "consolitis." Like the carney Tomb Raider series, the perspective and camera are behind the shoulder. The view automatically shifts, and this does present some moments of frustration, especially if you find yourself against a wall or in a corner. Here, a few steps forward may be carney required in order to reorient the camera. Although mouse support isn't present, number-pad, shift and arrow keys do allow a full 360-degree stationary carney view of your surroundings. How Does POP3D Look and Sound? Running in 800x600, everything from the claustrophobic dungeons to the opulent palace is colorfully and richly presented. Movement and frame rate on my PIII 450 was fast and fluid. This is one of the more beautiful adventure games available now, let alone considering it's two years old. The "Arabian Nights" melodies, changing each level, reflect an appropriate mood.
