2.0 out of 5 stars Horrible interface & not much depth, March 27, 2004

By 

Dee (Oregon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Topics Entertainment Presents: Ancient Civilizations (CD-ROM)

I was expecting much more from this I guess. The interface was terrible and different from disk to disk. On the Pompeii narration the guy doing the talking wasn't even talking about what was on the screen..gak! I could have found what was these disks, on the net for free.
