@neauoire Yes, I remembered it, too. I was very fascinating as a child 😊

@neauoire Man, I spent so much time exploring the educational CDs in the 90s.

To this day #utopianScjolastic aesthetic makes me quite melancholic - for a brief period of time it made me feel that the future was bright.

Well, at least I was lucky enough to be commissioned for an illustration based on it, so I had an excuse to go dig into those again.

Now I want to browse some again :)

@neauoire Microsoft Cinemania was my favourite and the only one I had access to and cared to buy... I have found nothing to surpass its glory in the "modern age". Reviews made by just a few real critics, minimal multimedia, lots of wonderfully hyperlinked text. I did multiple backups and I think that the ISO still works on recent systems, used it 3-4 years ago. Such software was curated to be treated like a book which stays on your shelf and does not have to be updated by millions of people.

@neauoire time to bust out my Grolier’s Multimedia Encyclopedia and drop the CD into the caddy for my 4x speed CD-ROM drive! 😊
