Let's Play Encarta 96

[@bio2020]

Back in my early teens, I sat at the computer for hours upon hours absorbing everything I could from Encarta 95, 96, 97...

[@Primaeros]

**gasp** the sound of the CD drive winding up

[@Holgast]

This old laptop was on life support at this point. I was using an external CD drive because the inbuilt one died from trying to play a particularly bad bootleg DVD

[@xKARASx]

Encarta games, Dangerous creatures, and random all in one CD games were the pinnacle of my computer gaming as a child.Thanks for making this video.

[@SlightyDisturbedNBK]

When in my high school's 'only' two Macintosh Performas, I used the Mac version of 96. It was good stuff back then.

[@kylecucco]

I have been trying to remember this game's name for years, thanks for posting the video, brought me back

[@zachesherman]

PLEASE do a video just of the music game! I can still remember many of the songs some 11 years since I played it, but I would love to hear them again, thank you!

[@SodaGumX]

HE is running a virtual PC and windows 7 ultimate comes with its own virtual PC for windows XP.

[@Holgast]

@xKARASx Thanks a lot! I haven't gotten around to playing Dangerous Creatures yet, but I'll see what I can do.

[@DorimiPrism]

Wow I feel old all of the sudden...

[@saiyansnake]

Oh my Gawwwwd!! You just brought back a part of my childhood with this.

[@Holgast]

I was born 4 months premature, hence have the appearance and voice of a 13 year old until I get old and wrinkled enough to be noticable as otherwise.

[@Holgast]

Actually, I'm running this in a window on Windows 7, with the CD in the drive...without a virtual pc.

[@jtzproductions]

OMG I had this version as well, it was really fun back when I was a kid haha Thank you so much for the video!

[@germanjoya3679]

[@bucketsAMF]

wow I totally forgot about Encarta. Good time were had. It's really strange how I stumbled across this video, and I won't go into detail. But, thanks for uploading this.

[@Holgast]

@xKARASx Windows 7. I'm running it in Windows 95 compatability mode. I don't know if it works or not normally.

[@PluginEverything]

@damanwithdacam yes i used to love listening to that!

[@stormwatcher1299]

I landed here hoping to find the name of the Ravi Shankar song that used to be on the Encarta 96. Would love any help, thanks.

[@jackglossop4859]

Darude - Sandstorm

[@stormwatcher1299]

[@xKARASx]

Are you running these programs on windows 7/vista? If so, how? I'm just asking because I just noticed somewhere in the video that you had a vista or win7 menu bar pop up.

[@mballew32]

excellent video! is there anyway you can record the intro song?

[@joaov.5438]

Hi i just ran into your video looking for the music game (specifically the bluegrass music sample that is in there) i dont know if you can provide me with the name of the song (if it appears there) thanks in advance!

[@Chamomile369]

[@gothserch]

Dear video uploader, can you please tell me the name of that french musical instrument? the photo it's right under the cello and the harpichord. I was looking for that name for years. Thanks in advance.

[@Duvmasta]

Will Encarta96 play on a Vista?

[@wokangoman]

whenever I try to install this It says cannot access file AAMSTP32/EN96-32.DLL

[@JackPytko]

GET ME the Encarta 96 full version download please I've got Encarta 95 on a disk i really want to have Encarta 96 too please thanks!!! good video

[@Holgast]

It was pretty difficult to get this to record and Fraps only does full screen applications, so I don't think so, sorry.

[@Holgast]

@slartibartfarst I don't understand what you're implying. Are you riffing on my voice?

[@Holgast]

Unfortunately, I have no idea.

[@Holgast]

It's the hurdy gurdy.

[@intothewardrobe2013]

[@Holgast]

Does it really matter?

[@CanEHduh88]
