Description:

The Microsoft Encarta 97 World Atlas is the most detailed world atlas available. Geography springs out of the screen with over 3,000 images, 350 world music selections and 2,800 foreign language pronunciations. There are also over 7,000 links to the World Wide Web - sites about cities and places. Also includes Family Portraits - spend a day with 30 families around the world to experience their culture and customs!

Notes:

This title installed easily, advised that the system processor being used was below standards, then ran - very slowly. This title would run much faster on a Pentium based computer system. The interface is simple and doesn't get in the way of the program itself.

Features:

360 degree Panoramic Views, street maps, over a dozen map styles, online reports, glossary, Family Portraits, over 3,000 images, 350 world music selections.
