Options do not include sub-titles but you can choose your gender (didn't notice anywhere it mattered), adjust the volume, and choose whether hints are on or off. It comes on two CDs and you always need to start with the first CD. But this is an optional part of the game and you can treat it just as entertainment. This is the kind of history that really appeals to me - understanding the hidden connections that have made our world the way it is. As you find the missing links James Burke will be ready to comment on them and bring history to life. Connections can count as edutainment, but friendly unobtrusive edutainment. Most of the puzzles are inventory based, and you will grow attached to the way the game tells you "Not yet" when you try something that doesn't work. There is also a good in-game hint system which will do the puzzles for you if required. There is a maze so have pen and paper to hand. There's a slider puzzle which is a little dubious.

The second series of Connections done for The Learning Channel was followed by a CD-ROM game in 1996, which this review is about. Each programme took a series of apparently unrelated events and situations and wove them together to show the often bewildering way social and technological change happens. He did two series of "Connections", a science-history series. James Burke is an acclaimed broadcaster with thought-provoking programmes on society and technology. The stirrup, the water closet, the transistor these have changed the way we live forever. Arguably the name of the ruler doesn't affect most folk that much - we're more affected by technological changes. ![]() History in schools nowadays focuses on how did the ordinary people live, what was their life like, rather than who was on the throne. In my mind's eye I saw a noble king with a diamond studded crown on his head, and a trowel in his hand. So one had to learn facts like in 1184 King Nosmo built Brighton Pavilion.
