Hey kids! Please take a minute or two to read this. It is important!!!

The game is loading, meaning that as you read this, the graphics for the game which you are about to play are being loaded into your browser's cache. Having done this, when you get into the game itself, you will have a more seamless and interactive experience. The game is both Netscape and Internet Explorer friendly, basic html and uses scripting as often as possible. It is adviseable to let this page load fully before playing as it is a somewhat graphic intense game, (as they should be!).
