   Unfortunately I am playing in a window - sort of. The game fills the   
   screen, but since the play area is only 640x480 and the screen is   
   1024x768 there's a large black border around it anyway. I did manage to   
   finish level 1 and get half-way through level 2 before I simply had to   
   switch it off due to feeling very sick and a bad headache. I might try   
   changing the screen resolution down to 640x480 before running the game,   
   but I doubt it'll make any difference.   
      
   I don't remember having this problem with Racer, but I always do with   
   other 3D type games. I can't read while travelling in the car / bus   
   either (someone else driving of course!), but weirdly have never been   
   seasick on a boat.   :-(
