Animated presentations for business occasions

Article Abstract:

Brown Wagh's $199.95 Curtain Call 2.0 presentation software offers a plethora of drawing and painting tools for creating shapes and adding colors, text and animated sequences to business presentations. With a Sound Blaster board, sound can be added. A useful addition to version 2.0 is the Runtime module, which costs an additional $59.95. Runtime allows a business presentation to run on computers other than the one that runs the original software, thus making it easier to take the show on the road. Brown Wagh also offers three graphics software packages that can create professional-level graphics at a reasonable cost. The 299.95 3-D Workshop 2.0 provides the ability to manipulate two-dimensional (2D) renderings of three-dimensional objects. The $299.95 PC Animate for Windows puts together 2D graphics, text and sound into animated screens. The $499 Studio Magic is a video production system for those who do not have access to a television studio.

Sampling the brave new world of games

Article Abstract:

Computer games are more technologically sophisticated than most other commercial software products, including spreadsheet, communications and graphics software. They also outsell all other categories of software. The Apple Macintosh version of Broderbund Software's $49.95 Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego, Deluxe Edition, for example, requires a system with 4Mbytes RAM, 13Mbytes of hard-disk space and 256-color capability. Players track down the criminal Carmen and her 15-member gang with the help of an electronic version of 'Fodor's USA,' 3,000 clues, 50 digitized photographs, computerized maps of every State and animated cartoons. Silversun's $39.95 Crosswire enables users to play a television trivia game against up to six preprogrammed opponents. Inline Software's $59.95 Cogito constructs complex geometric arrangements of electronic marbles only to demolish them, challenging the player to reconstruct their awesome beauty.
