The Mask is a comedy made in 1994 and was part of the trifecta (the others being "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and "Dumb & Dumber") that propelled Jim Carrey from unknown to superstar. It also made a star of another unknown actor, this time being Cameron Diaz.
Jim Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a bank clerk and a really nice guy. But, he is a bit of a pushover and never really stand up for himself. After a particularly bad day, he stumbles upon a mask, that he finds out depicts Loki, the Norse god of mischief. When he puts on the mask, he turns into a green faced, wacky, snappy dresser!

Gameplay
The entire interface gives you that instant feeling that you're inside a submarine and in total command. As you can see from one of my pictures, there are several stations that need to be commanded and waiting for orders ...
Advantages: Absolutely breath taking views around every corner. Disadvantages: Very expensive packed during the day with day trippers.
the day and at night. Church towers and domes rising up into the sky and beautiful buildings such as theatres and opera houses and palaces are absolutely amazing on the eye. St. Marks tower, St. Marks square, the Basilica of St. Mark and the Doges palace not to mention the water front! St. Mark?s area is the hub of Venice and it would be criminal not to visit this wonderful square.
The shops selling locally produced Venetian glass on the island of Murano all in different colours and hues, hand made masks and all kinds of Italian delicacies. The cafes and trattoria?s and most of all the tiny alley ways leading to new vistas and of course the canals are wonderful. There are lots of hotels and palaces and art gallery?s to lose yourself in.
