Message-ID: Sender: usenet@Newbridge.COM Organization: Newbridge Networks Corporation Date: Tue, 7 Jun 1994 15:39:37 GMT Lines: 24 I just saw this new educational/recreational CD-ROM in stores recently but no one has a playable demo yet. It's basically a hypertext video of famous world discoverers, and you can click on sections of the video and go off to an info menu, etc. One of the reasons I'm interested is because the movie used to be an IMAX film, and I've always loved those IMAX films in theatres so I expect it to be pretty good. In addition you can create settings on other planets and stuff (so says the back of the box) and discover what that spot is on Jupiter, or you can set up an orbit of the Earth, Sun and Moon and view a solar eclipse (I've always wanted to!). All in all, it looks pretty good, but has a steep $80 Cdn price tag. If anyone can comment on this, either here or via e-mail, I'd appreciate your input!
