If you've ever wanted to see the rest of the<br />

world you usually have to either commit to<br />

backpacking or work your socks off to be able<br />

to afford a six month cruise, and only then can<br />

you stop off and enjoy the delights of each<br />

country,<br />

Not any more, All you have to do is purchase<br />

thi5 CD and you can learn all about<br />

thousands of different countries. If you can sit<br />

down and take in all<br />

the information it<br />

would probably take<br />

around six months, so<br />

al your mates will actualy<br />

believe you've been<br />

around the wodd<br />

World Atlas was<br />

designed with Multimedia<br />

Experience and<br />

therefore has an extremely<br />

easy-to-use interface.<br />

All the fonts are<br />

fl tfore 's a ma p<br />

large, so readable, but<br />

it al still manages to look presentable.<br />

If you've ever wanted to learn about the<br />

world, you won't find a better package than<br />

the World Atlas. It contains information such as<br />

the population, death rates and birth rates, as<br />

wel as the economic backgrounds of each<br />

MODS VOL 1<br />

CO32, so all you console owners will happily<br />

he able to crank out some <strong>Amiga</strong> mods while<br />

you're getting ready for a Saturday night. As<br />

for Al200 and A4000 owners, I don't think<br />

you'll be going out on a Saturday night<br />

because you'll probably be too busy making<br />

your own music and messing around with the<br />

ones that already feature on it.<br />

The menu system is probably the best<br />

feature because it's so simple to use. By highlighting<br />

your selected mod and clicking a<br />

button it will load the music. There's no<br />

having to find menus, locating open buttons,<br />

and no confusing mod players. It's just a 'click<br />

and play if you like!<br />

There are also many different types of<br />

mods including jazz, soul, breakbeat, dance<br />

and many more. If you're looking for a particular<br />

style of mod you'll find it here - you can be<br />

sure of it. Apart from the D-Capo CD there<br />

aren't many decent module CDs but, thankfuly,<br />

now Maximum Mods is here we're hoping<br />

the.? will be many more to come.<br />

countries. Although the graphics aren't particularly<br />

outstanding, it doesn't matter because the<br />

amount of information more than makes up for<br />

it. If you are researching<br />

the world for school,<br />

college, or university<br />

projects, or just for a<br />

general hobby, you<br />

won't be disappointed<br />

with what you find_ The<br />

whole package is<br />

compatible with the<br />

AI 200, A4000 and<br />

CO32, so the interface is<br />

controlled by either the<br />

mouse or control pad,<br />

selecting from all<br />

the menus on-screen.<br />

World Atlas is a fantastic package for lazy<br />

people who can't be bothered going to the<br />

local library to pick out some books. Everything<br />

you need to know will be there right in front<br />

of you.<br />
