Ha, I had this. It was pretty rubbish.

Old_Zircon - 2016-07-01 This definitely came free with my dad's Pentium 100 but we never installed it.
Anyone else remember the whole business in the mid 90s where NASA was sending out a new deep space problem and they included a bunch of information about Earth and human civilization just in case it ever reached some kind of alien intelligence.
And they put it on a Windows 95 CD-Rom authored in Macromedia Director.

Gypsy_Dildo_Factory - 2016-07-01 I remember how I was trying to strike up a conversation once, replying that my favorite bird was the Harpy Eagle [...]
--I realized something was wrong when she talked about looking Harpy Eagles up in her Encarta, with a CD and everything--she was all about her Encarta-- this was not on the internet, she may not really have known about using the internet.
This was in 2008, she was in her early 20's if even. I deduced that she had been institutionalized since maybe 1997. I guess I just patronized her and pretended to be curious about whether there was footage of a Harpy Eagle in Encarta (yeah right, but how else can you prove that?)

Gypsy_Dildo_Factory - 2016-07-01 ^^^ Oh, yeah, I remember that but didn't know it was in Director. I think the space sentients would figure out how the project may have got funding from Microsoft, also pushing Macromedia software

I used to go to the school library after school to avoid taking the same buses as the bullies (we took public transit, junior high). Browsing Encarta 95 & later and playing the little quiz game was a fun way to pass the time. We also had some Microsoft golf game.
I think this is why I find it fun and soothing to go on wikipedia hikes.

Fuck, I just had flashbacks to 1996 and my family's HP desktop.
I didn't really use Encarta that much, since my family had an actual set of encyclopedias. Since we didn't have cable, I would sometimes just start reading random entries in the encyclopedias.
I tried to do the same with Encarta, but it wasn't the same. Wikipedia actually comes close though.
