How could I, a fan of The X-Files , not want a peek at the UFO CD-ROM for Windows? This disc holds information on more than 1,200 sightings, abductions, crop circles, and those ever-popular cattle mutilations from 1000 BC to the present day.
Using the CD-ROM's map and time line to search out sightings is a lot of fun, as is reading the discussions of the events. Some of the video clips and pictures are really great, though others might as well be snapshots of CD-ROMs thrown into the air.
Some added functionality, like keyword searching, and a few artist's renderings of non-photographed sightings would have made this an A+ product.
Taken as is, it's better than a poke in the oriface with an alien abductor's sharp diagnostic implement.
