HIDDEN TRUTH CD-ROM Sadeness Software (based in the UK) This CD is an amazing production...overflowing with documentation, graphics, photos, videos, music, links, and virtual and actual Websites dealing with many fascinating subjects. For starters the subject of UFOs and extraterrestrials is a popular topic and here the viewer is overwhelmed with material of all sorts. There are pictures of UFOs, there are documents and reports, and articles, and more pictures including some taken by astronauts. Also there is data on Roswell and the so-called "alien autopsy" and other related subjects. And this is just the tip of the iceberg on just these subjects which include EBE scientific reports, SETI, and NASA reports, which even include information on the life found on Mars. There is also a section on whether the moon landing was staged [faked]. On the subject of science fiction there is an abundance of good stuff on many popular programs and movies. There are publicity photos from favorite shows, fan's reviews on the best Sci-Fi. Here is background info, character profiles, etc. Lots of interesting things to see and read and hear. For instance I went to ALIEN and listened to some famous lines. Just a blast for the science fiction buff. One of the best parts of this massive CD-ROM program is the data on conspiracies and government coverups. From the JFK assassination to Majic [Majestic 12], to military UFO photos, this is the place for some research, exploration, and fun, not to mention getting one's mind opened or blown! There is even material for the crime buff or reader of true crime. Material on serial killers and mass murderers is included covering some of the most evil characters in history. I have only skimmed the surface though. There is stuff on crop circles, space, the Hale Bopp comet, "Black" government projects, paranormal, and so much more. One needs a current Web browser that supports the newer HTML coding as well as various plug-ins. I surfed the CD with an older MS-Internet Explorer version and some of the newer HTML stuff was not supported [by my Browser] but even with an older browser you will be able to access most of the text files and other materials. With a newer browser and helper apps, and good hardware like an MPEG card as well as a high resolution card and monitor, will make this a fantastic journey. If one is on-line then you can actually go to sites from the CD depending on your configuration. Even as a stand-alone program it will deliver hours (or days) of great fun and education. This is one of the best CDs I've ever used. One reason is that many CDs actually only use a few hundred megs of the CD-ROM space available or even less. I've seen some programs that used only 80 megs or less of the CD [CDs can hold 800 to 900 megs of some kinds of data]. The HIDDEN TRUTH doesn't skimp. It packs over 650 megs of walloping material on it. This is an esoteric tour-de- force. The CD supports many platforms. Of course the IBM PC compatibles as well as the MacIntosh. I found it surprising that it also supports the Amiga and Acorns! I did not try this on the Windows 3.1 platform that is still very popular, so I don't know if it will run on it. Windows 95 is recommended in the instructions. This program is one of the year's Best Finds. Every person interested in the UFO phenomena or the Mars explorations should have this CD-ROM. Those interested in researching conspiracies must get this CD. It is almost a library, right at your finger-tips. While it is scholarly it is also very cool. About this program I can only say that I highly, highly recommend it. [As to the price, it is 29.95 in British POUNDS.
