*Segment: Edmark Previews CD-ROM 1996 Part 2*


Narrator: Part 2 of the Edmark CD-ROM Previews from 1996 contains the Strategy Challenges of the World Volumes 1-2, Thinkin Things Collections 1-3, Kid Desk Deluxe Edition and the Early Learning House Series which includes...
Anyway, first up is the Mighty Math Series which contains...
= Millie's Math House (which I ran into as a School Computer Prank)
= Bailey's Book House
= Sammy's Science House
= Trudy's Time & Place House
and
= Stanley's Sticker Stories.

Well, at least some Computers should use Kid Desk or something like that and give students extra Computer Rights as a Reward for Good Conduct in Schools. Richard said to Athena's mother

Narrator: I know what you mean and during my late school days, I would play Star Wars Math as the goal of that game was to build a new ship & find a way back to your homeworld after you crash land on Tatooine.

*Segment: Brain Dead 13 1995 DOS Preview*

Narrator: Here's a spooky cartoonish game preview called Brain Dead 13 from 1995 on DOS. Which is more of a Scared Silly Kind if you saw the Scooby-Doo Cartoons.

As mentioned in a Total Panic Filler, while Brain Dead 13 is more of a Cartoon than a game is because its based on a series of games on Laserdisc Arcades such QTE FMVs starting with Dragon's Lair back in the 1980s where it used Laserdisc Syncing as it used Selective Programing where if the Timing was right, a Victory Animation would play and the player would advance to the next to Act of a Stage while if the the Timing was Wrong, then a Death Animation is played and the player would end up redoing the Act or entire Stage.

The Differences is that in Dragon's Lair, players would toss in more quarters to keep playing if they lost all their lives while Brain Dead 13 has Infinite Lives as it did not have an Arcade Version to begin with.

So these FMV Games had 5 Buttons, 4 Directions and an Action Button. Richard said to Athena's mother

Narrator: Dragon's Lair also had Visual Flashing Objects to give the player suggestive cues as some could be wrong moves while Brain Dead 13 has no Visual Cues as its Trial & Error by Fire.
Worst Still, there's a Frame Rate Delay in the animation running at 12 FPS (Frames Per Second). The Narrator said to the characters

*Segment: Gravis Ultrasound - The Ultrasound Experience 1994 CD*

Narrator: This is a Sampler CD that came with the Gravis Ultrasound which was back in 1994.

Amazing but can Gravis Ultrasound do Dealer Demos too? Richard said to Athena's mother



*Segment: Gravis Ultrasound Dealer Demo 1993 Versions 1-2*
Narrator: Yes as a matter of fact. Two Tech Demo Commercials from 1993.
A reminder as this was during the Shareware Era where the internet was in its infancy during 1994 where people would be trading shareware disks or CDs at the time. The Narrator said to the characters

*Segment: Kings Quest 7 1994 DOS Preview*

Narrator: Here's a DOS Preview of Kings Quest 7, one of the old games I had when I was a kid. Kings Quest 7 took a different direction as its Animation Quality is on Par with Classic Disney Princess Animated Movies & the Game's Tone Rating as its more suitable for Children & Adults of All Ages.

I like that too. But the Disney Quality Music that the game had used the General MIDI Standard on PCs at the time for Kings Quest 7. Richard said to Athena's mother

*Segment: SimIsle/SimRainforest 1994 DOS Preview*
Narrator: Here's a DOS Preview of SimIsle from 1994 as this is a more Eco Simulation where building an island as you see fit has a catch, you need to monitor your Team, Ecology & Buildings. If you don't you will be accountable for the Ecosystem's Damage and you will need to set things right.

Sounds amazing. Something tells me that convincing those in the game to organize an Eco-Friendly Act won't be easy. Croma said to Aurora and Ella


*Segment: Conquest of the New World 1994 DOS Preview*
Narrator: Here's a DOS Preview of Conquest of the New World from 1994 as in this game you can build a new colony in the Americas as one of the European Empires. Like Civilization, it takes planning and calculation to create an empire while monitoring your resources.

I like that too and at least they managed to fit Elements from SimCity 2000 and Civilization 2 into one game. Croma said to Ella
