ABOUT THE SECOND WORLD
WAR INTERACTIVE
HISTORY
BOOK
Released 1st October 1992
This educational software programme was put together using Gold Disks
Hyperbook and is meant to aid students of military history,wargamers,
and the merely curious.
I could have put a lot more stuff on two disks and originally had planned
some truly massive text files - hundreds of maps, pics etc etc and then
realised that the only real way to the Second World War properly was on
a CD disk - HOWEVER! the rescources of Asgard, although they are getting
better do not stretch to the hardware necessary to write to CD - or for
that matter to own a CD drive - so.......I decided to get as musch on
one disk as I could and still retain the flavour and atmosphere of those
turbulent times in the 40`s.
WHAT I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE PUT ON A HYPERDISK (CD)
* Animations of fighter/tank action.
* Animated maps.
* A text file for each and every major campaign.
* Background notes for all the major fighting forces.
* Graphs and charts of the relevant statistics, miltary and economic.
* Sampled speech of leading men/women of the day.
* Modules of national anthems etc.
* ...lts more ideas where these came from
IF YOU OWN A SOFTWARE COMPANY THAT CAN UNDERWRITE THE DEVELOPMENT
OF THIS PACKAGE - GIVE ME A CALL OR DROP ME A LINE! (Stranger things
have happened...)
I feel that the contents of the disk are reasonable given the vast
scope of the subject matter and the limited space on one disk.
Anway I`ve got quite a lot of stuff on this disk and hope that its
of some use to somebody. Drop a line to Asgard with any comments -
constructive criticism you may have of it - nut we`re very thin skinned
so try and be nice.....
Cheers!
