As the foundations of knowledge increased in 15th century Europe, there arose a breed of men who were far from content to stay within the confines of their known world. Whether motivated by the desire for lasting fame and fortune, or perhaps to understand what lay beyond the western rim of the Atlantic, they pursued careers in the most exciting and dangerous profession of their day -- they became Explorers.
Now you can follow in the footsteps of three of history's most acclaimed travelers -- Columbus, Magellan and Cortes -- as they seek their destinies in the New World, plus learn more about 60 *additional* explorers, in EXPLORERS OF THE NEW WORLD.
Experience firsthand each of the triumphs and setbacks that Colubmus, Magellan, and Cortes faced in their long and perilous journeys. See how they arise from the dusty history books (through accurate video recreations), to become real people, with all the characteristics and quirks brought to life in this dazzling multimedia experience for the entire family.
Try your hand at piloting Columbus' ship using the tools of his time. Solve intricate puzzles in your attempt to assist Cortes in escaping Montezuma's castle. Uncover the tragic fate awaiting Magellan in the Philippines as you become one of only 18 survivors of his expedition. All this, plus detailed maps, photo-realistic backgrounds, and 3-D environments from the ships of their era await your discovery.
Your journey into the age of exploration does not end with Columbus, Magellan, and Cortes, for there is a complete multimedia database of 60 additional explorers who roamed the ancient seas between 1450-1600. Each entry includes a complete biography, an historical portrait and an outline of their famous explorations. EXPLORERS OF THE NEW WORLD exposes you to the trills, challenges, and rewards of mapping out uncharted waters and lands by introducing you to the real people behind the legends.
Character actors bring to life the historic journeys of the Explorers. Learn about their explorations through fully interactive, realistic 3-D environments. All details are based on historic facts, enriching your knowledge of the age of the explorers while entertaining you with lively, engaging narrations. User friendly point-and-click interface. An excellent companion piece to traditional text and video-based presentations of similar material.
