I loved CD-ROM encyclopedias, so I recreated one here on the web as faithfully to the original as I could on the web, complete with little delays for the disc to ‘seek’ or spin up.
I found this old CD-ROM for sale on ebay for less than a dollar and remembered that I had this exact one when I was a kid. Our family had gotten our first computer ever: A Packard Bell desktop with a 25ghz cpu and 16MB of RAM. This CD came with it and I got lost in it for hours at a time.
It took some work, but I think I’ve got it running pretty close to how it did originally.
