ealms of the Haunting

Realms of the Haunting is a British adventure game, played from the first-person perspective, released in 1997 by Gremlin. The game itself is highly atmospheric, featuring a fully realised and well thought out gaming environment. Although it is often overlooked by the wider gaming public, it is considered a classic by many. The 4 CD-ROMs that make the game demonstrate the amount of FMV footage and audio that are a key part of the experience. The graphics appear dated now, as compared to some other games of the time such as the Quake series, as the 3D engine used in this game, borrowed from Gremlin's own Normality uses relatively low screen resolutions, leading to graphics which appear very blocky and pixellated by today's standards. The game is perhaps one of the last 3D games to continue to use sprites for characters, rather than 3D models. This is somewhat mitigated by the high quality of the animations used, and the frequent use of cut-scenes.

Gyromitra esculenta is an ascomycete fungus from the genus Gyromitra, widely distributed across Europe and North America and one of several species of fungi known as false morels. It normally sprouts in sandy soils under coniferous trees, in spring and early summer. The fruiting body, or mushroom, is an irregular brain-shaped cap dark brown in colour which can reach 10 cm (4 in) high and 15 cm (6 in) wide, perched on a stout white stipe up to 6 cm (2.4 in) high. Although potentially fatal if eaten raw, Gyromitra esculenta is a popular delicacy in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and the upper Great Lakes region of North America. It may be sold fresh in Finland, but it must be accompanied by warnings and instructions on correct preparation. It is eaten in omelettes, soups, or sautéed in Finnish cuisine. Once popular in the Pyrenees, it is now prohibited from sale for consumption in Spain. Although it is still commonly consumed after parboiling, recent evidence suggests that even this procedure may not make the fungus entirely safe; thus raising concerns of risk even when prepared properly. When consumed, the false morel's principal active agent, gyromitrin, is metabolized into the toxic compound monomethylhydrazine. The toxin affects the liver, central nervous system, and sometimes the kidneys
