Description:

Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia, 1997 offers many of the features you'll see in more expensive encyclopedia packages such as direct World Wide Web links, external search capabilities, monthly updates, a dictionary, thesaurus and atlas and 3D learning environments.

Notes:

The interface for this program is more accessible/easier to operate than some of the encyclopedias on CD-ROM. It ran with no problems on less than the stated system requirements, the audio and video was very smooth.

Features:

100+ videos, animations, slide shows, presentations, 37,000+ articles , 8,000+ photos and illustrations, almost 17 hours of music and sound, an interactive timeline of US and World events, and even a planetarium! An excellent value for the price.
