The user can increase the number of fish and observe a reduction in kelp supply, increase the number of sharks and watch the fish population dwindle, harpoon the shark, and see the fish population grow, or pollute the water and see the entire system decline. "Click on the oil barrel or sewage pipe to see the effects of pollution, or click on the harpoon to see the effects of overfishing." After you get past the social commentary, the user gets a chance to observe and control the interactions of a simple ecosystem consisting of kelp, fish that eat kelp, and sharks that eat fish. The Oceans of the World game begins with a more depressing concept - "see mankind's harmful effects on the oceans of the world" intones the narrator. "Pretty cool," according to our nine year-old reviewer. Each clip can be heard with its real sound, then the user is given a palette of 10 sound effects to create their own version. In the Sound Game, the user is given the role of sound effects director for four different cartoon/video clips. Our kid reviewers found the first two especially interesting.
In addition to these vignettes's, the program includes three or four interactive activities: the Monster Sound Game, Oceans of the World, a Quiz Challenge, and a find the hidden hats game. After the short description, the user may return to the main map, click to learn some related trivia about the site, or additional backround information. Using a "TinkerBell" cursor, the user can scroll the map or see labels of all the main attractions, from AdventureLand to Epcot.Īfter clicking on a desired site, the scene shifts to that location where the user is presented with a video clip or a slide show highlighting the attraction.
The scene then shifts to a clickable aerial drawing of DisneyWorld that functions as the main menu screen for the program. WDW begins with a short audio clip of Walt Disney himself, talking about his plans for the park. The Walt Disney World Explorer undertakes a difficult task: to try and capture the excitement and sense of wonder that accompanies a visit to one of the greatest tourist attractions in the world.
