DragonLord's Guide to NARA, Japan (version 1.0)

October 18, 1994 -- This title offers a comprehensive guided tour of all of
the main sights in Japan's first permanent capital, the beautiful city of
Nara. Your tour guide explains each scene to you while exotic koto music
plays in the background. The tour is cast in a "virtual reality"-style
format that allows you to explore the city yourself. You start at the
train station and choose left or right, forward or back at each scene, and
move accordingly-the software mirrors the actual topology of the city
itself. As you explore, you learn about Japanese culture and history. The
tour includes the world's largest bronze statue (the Daibutsu), and the
world's largest wooden building (the Daibutsu-den, 35' taller than Notre
Dame's roof), both dedicated in 752. An index, map, and table of contents
allow jumping to scenes directly. In addition to the tour, there are
Japanese pronunciation and vocabulary lessons for complete beginners;
sentence listening drills for 1st-year students; and paragraph listening
drills for advanced students. Pictures are 640x480 "full screen" color.
More than 1200 pictures, 200 tour explanations, and 100 language
explanations. More than 300 entries in the index. This comprehensive tour
takes a huge 3-5 hours to explore completely, in addition to the 45
minutes of language lessons.
