		Neuschwanstein (pronounced noy-SHVAN-styne) Castle, in the German state of Bavaria, is one of the most beautiful fairy-tale castles in Europe.
		Much like the boxed Puzz-3D puzzles in hobby stores, this title allows you to piece together a three-dimensional jigsaw model of Neuschwanstein Castle, but this version offers some additional goodies: multimedia information on the history of Neuschwanstein and Wagner's operas, correspondence between Wagner and the king, and a dramatized re-enactment of their often stormy friendship.
		In many ways, Puzz-3D Neuschwanstein is like getting two games for one price: the virtual jigsaw which allows you to put the castle together, and the adventure game which places you inside the finished castle.
