Welcome to Macworld's monthly Interactive CD-ROM. This month we present Macworld's "Game Hall of Fame" winners in nine different categories! We have included demos where they exist and movies for the others.
Plus this month's GameSpace looks at three games coming in the next few months that may be candidates for next year's Hall of Fame: Halo, Oni and Tribes 2.
Reviews this month include the long awaited InDesign from Adobe. There's no demo as yet, but we'll keep pestering Adobe to create one for you to try. Other reviews of particular interest are Vellum Solids 99, Eudora Pro 4.2, and NetBarrier 1.0. Publishing gurus may also be interested in MrSID, and two Acrobat plug-ins.
If you're like us, always putting holiday shopping off until December, take a look at the Holiday Gifts pages which feature over 25 Web sites that can help you save time and money, without having to move from your computer. Just think, with the speech recognition products coming next year, we might be able to achieve nearly total motionlessness!
Of particular note, Pogue's Playground honors and displays the winners of our Musical Macs contest. We got lots of great entries for Best Video, Best Song, and Best Sound, so it was hard to choose. Thanks to everyone who contributed an entry. We plan to have additional contests in the future, so keep your eyes peeled and your ears clean.
And as always we have more great new shareware programs and utilities to help you be more productive and fun-loving!
