Lou, I had a chance to view a pretty durn good AmigaVision product today. (two, actually) They were produced for the Alaska/Anchorage visitor inforamation; one is on general touristy things to do in Alaska and (I hear) runs in a kiosk at the Anchorage airport, and the other is specifically on Denali National Park (Mt. Denali). The Anchorage one used a Pioneer 2200 video disk player, and let user (via touch screen) choose restaurants, leisure, cultural, etc events in Anchorage and state. The Denali one used almost exclusively Amiga graphics, and focused on a 'facts' tour of the Denali park, what to do/see, history, etc. Aside from interface complaints (and they were minor) I thought them very well done. Not trivial projects to say the least. Wondered if you had heard/seen them? (now, if I could only lay my hands on a copy of that program somewhere….) –jp–
