Product Description:
One of the best developers of multimedia CD-ROMs that ever existed, Voyager Company, released dozens of high-quality educational CD-ROMs between 1993 and 2000 before being bought out by Learn Technologies, which then quietly went out of business sometime in 2002. This is one of their interactive CD-Roms for PC/Windows or MAC. Voyager's Macbeth is a CD-ROM edition of the play; based on the recently published Cambridge edition (edited by one of the CD-ROM's co-authors, Professor A. R. Braunmuller) with a complete audio performance of the entire play by the Royal Shakespeare Company, directed by Trevor Nunn, and starring Ian McKellan as Macbeth, and Judi Dench as Lady Macbeth. Readers can simply read the play, or just listen, or listen and read; the pages will turn automatically! And clicking on any line of the play takes the reader to that place in the audio performance. There are notes and glosses (1,500 of them), explanatory essays (over 25,000 words worth), video clips from other performances of key scences so you can compare different performances of the same scene, maps, charts, images -- just about everything anyone could want. Readers can make all sorts of notes of their own, and export them with the parts of the play and commentary that they go with, to use in a word processor. System Requirements: IBM-compatible 486SX/25 or higher with 640 x 480 256 color display; MPC-compatible CD-ROM drive; sound card; speakers; 4MB RAM minimum; Windows 3.1 or later; DOS 5.0 or later; MSCDEX. |
