...Yeah, I think we might need to use the in-game clock moving forward.

And about that blackout at the beginning of the sandbox level - I played this game on a Mac using Wine, and for one reason or another Wine plays some of the video files associated with the game and just draws a blank on others. The game functions well, but the startup animations don't play on levels five and six and there's no spinning animation when cars crash - the game just stops until the car resets.
