Alaska The Wildlife
This computer CD-ROM is an adventure that takes you to one of the most
amazing places on this planet. Whether you head to the treetops for a peek
inside the nest of a bald eagle or wade through a river for a nose to nose
encounter with a grizzly bear, you have a chance to see, hear and read
all about the animals and areas that you choose to explore.
We have packed in 80 QuickTime movies, more than 300 color slides, maps
and pop-up information boxes. There is a full library of natural sounds
and original music along with a textbook's worth of interesting and unusual
facts. Created by an Emmy-award winning production team, educators and
experienced software designers, this reference work has been reviewed and
approved by more than 25 wildlife experts - many on the leading edge of
research in their fields. We took great care to design a true multimedia
experience that will inform, impress and surprise every time you play this
disk.
Starting at Base Camp, you choose from 5 regions to visit from the Arctic
all the way to the end of the Aleutian Chain. Along the way, you will have
a chance to look, listen and learn all about polar bears, reindeer, muskox
and dozens of other wild animals. You will also have a chance to explore
the geology of each area. You can experience everything from a flight over
a crumbling glacier to a trip to the top of a steaming volcano.
Alaska The Wildlife is simple enough for young children to use without
being too simplistic for adults. Through extensive testing with users of
different age levels, we were able to design an interface that is intuitive,
easy and fun to use. The cursor changes from an arrow to a bear paw whenever
it is on an active area. As an added feature, users who click on their
mouse on an inactive area will trigger a help voice that offers tips and
navigating assistance.
Alaska The Wildlife offers a fresh approach to a subject that has proven
and universal appeal. Coupled with its quality design and depth of content,
we anticipate that this title will have broad appeal to both the home and
education markets. We also believe it has the potential to be targeted
at niche markets including travel agents, community libraries, conservationists
and sportsmen.
Alaska The Wildlife is the first CD-ROM adventure of the Expeditions Unlimited
series. Our goal in creating this series of CD-ROM titles is to provide
high quality edutainment software for exploring the world. We hope you
will agree that Alaska The Wildlife is an excellent start.
