2.0 out of 5 stars Maybe it was (almost) good...once, 24 Jun 2004
By A Customer
Oh dear oh dear oh dear! I was bitterly disappointed when I came across this CD-ROM set last year. I have a few National Geographic magazines from the 1950s, and enjoy looking through them for the advertisements of the time as much as the articles and photographs - they are a real time-capsule. So I was looking forward to being able to see the 1960s through the eyes of this American institution.

All the content one could wish for seems to be there - every cover, every article, every photograph, every advertisement. But try reading it on-screen and you will be squinting after the first page or two. Mindscape, who published this product, seem to have merely scanned each page at a very low (by today's standards) resolution and done nothing to enhance the text quality or legibility of what was even then a 25-30 year-old magazine. The age of the product can be guessed at by the system requirements, which quote a 486DX processor as being the minimum PC platform.

If only Mindscape had published each issue as a PDF file on the CD, things might have been better. The main interface seems to be some in-house effort which will not maximise to the full width of the desktop, but rather remains in the middle of the screen. Each page can be 'zoomed', but there are only two levels of zoom - small to scan through each page quickly and medium which displays first the top 2/3 of the LH page, then the bottom 2/3, then moves over to the RH page and does the same.

Please please please National Geographic, re-release these wonderful glimpses into the world of the past, but this time, do it right!

This review can also be applied to the 1970s collection of NG magazines, which I also have and which are also, unfortunately, displayed in the same way. Very sad.
