Interactive Travel Guide for Armchair Explorers

Discover Great Britain is a Dorling Kindersley educational CD-ROM designed for Windows 95, 98, Me and XP. It suits curious learners and trip planners who want to explore British history, culture and landmarks through a self-paced multimedia interface on legacy hardware.

Ideal for Retro PC Owners and Casual Historians

This title fits users with a Pentium 75 MHz system, 16 MB RAM and a 4X CD-ROM drive who enjoy browsing 650 images, audio commentary and video clips. It is not for buyers who need a modern instalable application or a current travel database with live maps and booking tools.

Runs on Windows 95 Through XP Only

The software requires a Pentium 75 MHz processor, 16 MB of RAM, a Sound Blaster compatible card and a 640 x 480 display with thousands of colours. Without a compatible legacy Windows environment or virtual machine the disc cannot be used.

Questions about this item

Does the CD-ROM include everything needed to run it, or must I buy a Sound Blaster compatible card separately?

The disc contains the full program with 650 images and 90 minutes of music, but a Sound Blaster compatible card is a separate hardware requirement.

Which Windows version should I pick if I have both Windows 98 and XP available?

The software supports Windows 95, 98, Me and XP, so either Windows 98 or XP will run it without any version-specific advantage.

What does the 640 x 480 resolution requirement mean for how the guide looks on my monitor?

The program runs at 640 x 480 with thousands of colours, so the 650 photos and video commentary will display at that fixed resolution regardless of your monitor's native setting.
