In Realms of Illusion, you play the role of Beni, a tomb raider on a mission. The Tastan tombs are the resting place of an extinct civilization and many have explored the tombs in hopes of finding treasure. Doba, the most infamous tomb raider of them all, has kidnapped your sister. He demands that you explore the notorious Tomb 35 and bring back some artifact to trade for your sister's life. While doing so, you run afoul of the tomb's defense system, a holographic Sentinel with advanced AI who sends you on a wild goose chase through the times and places in her memory. As you visit each new realm, there are puzzles to solve before you can return to the tomb.

Most puzzles were easily solved as long as you take good notes. It is similar it is to Myst. Solutions are attained by hunting for clues, making notes, flipping switches and turning dials. You can do the puzzles as many times as needed to get the right result, and there is no penalty for a wrong answer.

One review I read said that it loaded and played fine on their Windows 7 computer by running it in XP SP2 Compatibility Mode. The movement is very smooth and takes full advantage of the 3-D environment. It is easy to pan the camera and the game graphics were crisp and clear with nice textures and there is a great musical score.
