2.0 out of 5 stars Old Technology, Mediocre Interactivity, December 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Virtual Art Collection (CD-ROM)

The good thing: Lots of pictures.

The bad things:
All the pictures are of fairly low quality.
The CD ROM was built for Windows 3.1 so the interface is clunky.
(No nice Marcomedia director stuff here.)
The tone is for a junior high school student.
Random access is possible but not complete: Much of the information is in the walk through slide show with commentary.

Summary: Most worthwhile as an artifact of CD ROM media in it infancy.
