Mick and Keith have the resources it takes to make a CD-ROM look like a million bucks - the rumored cost of the Rolling Stones's upcoming Voodoo Lounge, due this Spring from Second New Media Inc. But will our 50 bucks get us anything besides the same old bag of tricks - will we get to remix a song or watch a tiny-screen video?
Mike Morgan, chief nerd and project director of the Voodoo Lounge CD-ROM, emphatically promises that this title, whose design is driven by the lounge metaphor, will be different. "You can hang with the Rolling Stones, as well as a variety of other bizarre characters, some based on Haitian vodun legends," he says about the disc.
The boys seem pleased with the results. When Mick saw a demo of the vodun dancers who vary their routines after a click of the mouse, it so captivated him he asked for a copy of the creatures to take home.
