Production and content
Production and content
Isaac Asimov died in April 1992, and this collaboration between his works and the developers behind the program was one of his last projects before he passed. The game's articles were based on Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery. The game teaches topics ranging from roller coaster acceleration to planetary orbit to pulleys. The central hub of the program is a reference screen, which displays text panels, pictures, and timeline, and a globe. The designers described the program as an educational software toy - a sort of intellectual playground, to encourage curiosity but with no agenda. The virtual science museum has over 150 rooms, and over 1000 illustrated, interactive, and interlinked articles by Isaac Asimov.
