  • 12/01/96

Amazon II, from MECC, is a rainforest adventure CD-ROM that places users in a 3D setting. The CD features approximately 70 live actors who play characters in the story.

Sixteen suspenseful missions present players with many opportunities to make choices, solve problems -- finding and interviewing a tribe, negotiating a river maze, locating injured people, etc. -- and direct mission outcomes. Three levels of difficulty, four guides and thousands of challenges have been included to ensure a high level of replay ability.

Amazon II suits students grade three and up. MECC, Minneapolis, MN, (800) 685-6322, www.mecc.com/. WM
