This upload is pretty much just an excuse to record myself dicking around with the Newtonian physics in RRoW and testing its limits a bit. Pretty advanced for its age and platform! Jurassic Park: Trespasser (1998) also had similar physics but there was considerably less intellectually stimulating problem-solving involving said physics, so I would probably consider this game the real pioneer of 3D "physics-puzzle" games or whatever you would call it.

Capture done via S-Video to a RT4K scaler which is then outputting to a Magewell USB Capture AIO.
