An interactive science fiction opera adventure. Say what? Ring is a 3D graphical adventure set in the 40th century that follows the story of Richard Wagner's epic opera "Ring of the Nibelungen". As one of four characters, the player must conclude the legend of the Ring and restore humanity to it's rightful place as leaders of the universe by defeating four evil powers. Destroyed long ago by an alien species from distant space, what was once home to the human race has been reduced to rubble. It's the 40th century A.D. and you're wandering the ruins of Earth. Wagner's opera brings to life philosophical questions like the birth of the cosmos and the complexity of the human soul. Featuring a nonlinear story line, stunning 3-D worlds, and Wagner's mesmerizing soundtrack, your every step in this adventure is fraught with intrigue. Play characters such as a lone Valkyrie warrior, the Loge (the fire spirit), Siegmund (half man/half wolf), or Alberich (the dwarf tyrant). Employ powers unique to each in preparing the opera for its final performance and the end to tyranny and madness.

In the DVD version, four more languages of translation were added to the three languages of the CD versions, in terms of quality, the DVD version is no different from version on 6 discs.
