 Rating:  - My living room trip to EgyptI am a recently retired senior citizen who spend 1 to 3 hours daily at my computer. This program is the most facinating one that I own. Installation of all 4 disks was instantaneous and flawless, navigation is so simple, I did not need to read the help file before using the program. I like the ability to go anywhere in the program including exit simply by passing the mouse over the top or bottom of any screen, or, on the screen images. Graphics are beautiful and audio explanations are concise and ... Read More Rating:  - Don't buy thisThese CD-ROMs have lots of information, good graphics and sound, but are very difficult to navigate. There is no way to exit or end. I had to shut down my computer to get it to stop. There is no point to using them if you can't use them easily. I would not recommend this product. Rating: - So much infoI love the depth and quality of information on these cds. The only problem I had was that "Voyage in Egypt" would not install on my system, but happily I was able to run the program by clicking on the link egypt.exe on the actual cd. I would recommend these to anyone who loves Egyptology. Rating: - Three out of the four are GOOD!The 3 CD-ROM titles of this set that I can load are spectacular! But, the fourth is an older production, and I can't load and run it on any of four separate systems! I've asked Topics Entertainment for help online, but so far have received no rsponse. Three disks for the price would seem like a good deal to me, but having one more in the box that won't run is a major disappointment. Rating: - I found Egypt, same as Software Say, or even Betterit's very good for it's price and information it contains, it'll be of a great help for travellers,and anyone want to know more about History... |
