Well due to the fact that I still have a lot of assorted bills to pay (I'm starting to hate credit cards, 8^) ), AND the fact that I have am heading back to school in a few days, I've decided that it's time to sale some of my CD's. All of them are of course working, and in good condition. I'm asking for the given prices, if you think that they are somehow out of line, let me know and I can give you a detailed description of the CD etc., and probabably even find a copy of some of the adds I've based my prices off of, 8^). The postage will be extra, just let me know how you want it sent out. All CD's come with protective jewel cases except for Rock, Rap N Roll. The Star Trek demo needs to be run from the Window's File Manager, not from the Simon Schuster Demo Menu. Now for the CD's ! Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia - $30 This one is still sealed in it's envelope. I already have a copy that we use. This has great video clips. The first thing I did with my copy was to look at all of them! 8^) It's Version 2.01 VW , Windows Edition, and is fully interactive, you'll love it. Iron Helix - $25 (sealed) I had this CD before and someone sent me another copy! It's a GREAT game, almost like a movie, but I just don't have the time to play super long games. (Ok, so I only play Doom...). This one is OEM but comes with all the manuals etc., It really is a great game comes with a movie like intro too! Mad Dog McCree - $20 I tried this one out, pretty good western shoot em up. It uses video clips for the action. Takes up a good section of the screen with graphics, but a little bit blocky. Still a classic shoot em up. I think this was one of the first CD games of it's type. I'm more into shooting games like Doom though which is quite different than Mad Dog (which has a sequel by the way). Knowledge Adventurer - $20 This is OEM, it comes with Speed, UnderSea Adventure, Space and a demo of some of their other products (like 3D Dinosaurs etc.,) This one is PERFECT if you have kids around. The UnderSea adventurer is like something you would see at the zoo or the aquarium. A lot of little screens about various ocean life. It has multimedia clips as well as educational games. Speed starts off with a nice movie with a hunter chasing down his prey. This program goes into various aspects of speed, compares different creatures and how they get around etc., This has a LOT of educational type games in it, as well as movies. Space is a narrative type CD on outer space. This one has a lot of clips in it as well. All three of these give you enough activities and clips to keep the kids busy for a while (and adults too, the games are good enough for adults to try out at least once). This CD also has a demo of some of their other software. It's a good package since you get all 3 of the programs, I know they sell seperately in catalogs. Knowledge Adventurer - $20 (different one) I just go this one recently, but just don't have the time to use it. The three programs on this one are UnderSea Adventuer, America Adventure and Kid's Zoo. Kids Zoo is just like UnderSea adventure except for that it is based on land animals. I can almost guarantee that the first thing you will try out is the films of all the baby animals, you just can't help yourself! There is also America Adventure which I didn't get a chance to try out at all (It wanted 5 megs of my Hard Drive space!) The Kid's Zoo has a lot of games as well btw (identifying animals by a small portion of their picture for instance). Good CD aimed for grade schoolers, but will have adults using it as well 8^) Lenny's Music Toons; Richard Scarry's Busy Town; Paramount's Rock Rap N Roll - $15 (sealed) I have not tried this one at all, it was included with another package that I received. It is still shrinked wrapped, but doesnt have a jewel case (might be tricky to ship knowing USPS and UPS)... The descriptions for these three programs are: BusyTown - a fascinating world of total interaction where the loveable chars from Richard Scarry's Busy World come to life. Has twelve playgrounds rich with real-life experience, develops math, reading and problem solving skills. Lenny's Music Toons - created by Julliard School Musicians, collection of music videos, puzzles and games. Six interactive playgrounds allow children to create a hit band, direct a video, or save the world! Mega Rock Rap N Roll - Ten fabulous music styles, each with it's own studio. Blues, Jazz, Soul, Latin and more, hundreds of sound effects and song loops. Simon and Schuster Interactive Demo CD - $15 I really wanted to keep this one because of the Star Trek Interactive Demo on it, but I won't be able to use it while on campus so will sell. This CD has several demos for childrens programs on it including 'My Favorite Alien' and 'Alistair and the Alien Invasion'. However the two best demos on this are FireFighter and StarTrek. FireFighter is full of video clips of fires and fire safety tips. You get to answer various questions about fire safety as well. It's a good program, you will probably end up buying the full program after playing this, 8) Star Trek Interactive Manual demo. This one is great! It has a nice intro and the screen shots look like they came right off the Enterprise! The demo only lets you view certain parts of the ship though. The demo is good enough to satisfy your Star Trek needs needs for a while, :^). Again this demo will probably convince you to buy the full program. I also have some Sampler CD's that I would like to sell, these are not meant for children tho, they are: Capstone Sampler - $8 Includes Operation Body Count, a doom like game where you must stop terrorist taking over a building. It was a weird feeling getting killed by 5 terrorist while I was exploring the Men's bathroom! Also has Corridor 7 and Zorro Demo. Included with the CD are four $5 mail in rebates, one for each demo, and a fourth one that is good on anything from the 'Next Move Series'. However these rebates are only good at SoftWare Etc., stores, I'm not sure if they are nation- wide or not. Adult CD Sampler - $8 Includes various x-rated pictures. Different categories, over a dozen pictures were included on the CD. I would be willing to throw this one in for less if you are buying any of the other CD's. Don't have any use for this one sitting around with the encylopedia! I think that is all of them! I'm going back to campus and will need cash for books (groan) as well as assorted bills. I will be willing to haggle 'some' on some of the CD's. If anyone offers more than the asking price then I will sell them the CD, no haggling, 8^) Please send all offers to: Olatunji Nowlin u60132@uicvm.uic.edu I think the prices are pretty firm but I will haggle some since I really need the cash.
