These are *very* nice.   One of the demos is a map of the USA with
the state borders.  You can click on a state and it'll tell you
the capital (whooptie-do).  You could just as easily have it show
a tourist promo from laser disk.

After playing with the code, I realized that it's just a matter of
resolution.  A click on "Texas" could go to a map of Texas with all
the major cities and such.  A click on "Houston" would go to a city
map of Houston, and so on and so on.  Sound would go just as well.

Really a nice product, and free when you buy an Amiga.
