Microsoft Cinemania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Microsoft Cinemania was a reference and educational application produced by Microsoft. The software was mainly a database of films, in a similar fashion to the Internet Movie Database, and gave brief descriptions of the films and who starred in them. The program also included still images and full-motion video clips for some of the movies it featured.
The last edition of Cinemania was released in 1997. This version was available for Microsoft Windows PCs running Windows 95 or Windows NT with an Intel 80486 processor, or Apple Macintoshes running System 7. Cinemania 97 also had guided tours from numerous celebrities and online features which made use of an associated MSN website. [ 1 ]
