Wiki is down? No problem!

I had Encarta when I was young '97 or '98, was so much fun as a kid the Hitler speech clips scared the life out of me :eek:

There was also a game you could play it was kind of Tudor maze with multiple choice quetions, anyone remember?

I dont remember the name, but I remember the sound of footsteps after selecting a direction and the trumpet sound, can't remember when that occured though.


.....I hope i'm not getting confused with something else.
 
I always used to find encarta limited.

Do a search on the Tudors - great, but then other things would be a single paragraph :/
 
If you just press escape when it loads......

Anyways,

$89 ticket price - in 1995 :eek::eek:

Blimey - no wonder the internet took off :D
 
I preferred Microsoft Cinemania to Encarta. It was IMDB before IMDB and one could spend hours just clicking around it.
 
Does anyone remember a certain educational game from the mid 90s? We had it in primary school, no idea what platform it was on, not even sure if it was a PC!

You were an archaeologist and could go back in time to Viking times after you uncovered an item and I think you had to find out it's use. You could also dig up a fossilised poo if that's any help.
 
I remember spending many many lunch times in the library printing off numerous pages of information on different sports from Encarta (95 I believe, had 96 at home) and making a massive book out of it all.

We must have got through a hideous amount of colour ink :o :cool:
 
I've still got the first edition of Encarta:

To think it was once state of the art. How times have changed. :D
 
This thread has made me feel soo old. Maybe it's just the rose-tinted glasses, but there was something so much more rich about the learning experience provided by Encarta compared to wikipedia :(
