It bored me to tears. The only thing original about it is a clever math algorithm for spinning the designers' initials around the screen, and a song score. The reason it loads fast is because they wrote their own startup routine, which bypasses the loading of all of the tools you need to do anything worthwhile with the IIGS. Pass on Nucleus. There are many better examples of both graphics and sound available, all of them interactive.
