Yes, it is a highly interesting topic. It has got be one of my favorites.

Time is directly related to the 3 spacial dimensions but harder to think about. (Movement in spacial dimensions slows down your preception of time.)

I think with some complex math however you shoud be able to represent a 4 dimensional-space object (In fact, I think it would be easier to do on a 2-D limited screen because it don't think it would be possible to show the player the whole object at once.) About moving in extra dimensions:

You have 3 spacial dimensions:
The Forward-Backward dimension
The Right-Left dimension
The Up-Down dimension

and then we have
The Future-Past dimension

So if a video game were made that played in 4 spacial dimensions you would have to figure out what the 4th way of movement would be.

Anyway, this is one interesting topic.
