Best CD-ROMs of 1996
“The experience won’t even remotely remind you of high school foreign language classes.” -PC World, Dec. 1996
“Who is Oscar Lake?”, Awarded the Family Channel Seal of Quality, Your Assurance of Positive Family Entertainment “An ingenious interactive language game.” -Family Channel

“The game concept of Who Is Oscar Lake? represents a philosophical breakthrough in multimedia language instruction technology.” -Ted Pebbles, University of Richmond, Northeast Conference Newsletter 43

“It’s a fiendishly good idea, what? I mean there you are, immersed in this crime thriller (presented in the manner of your common or garden point-and-click adventure), having a good time, meeting people, finding clues, watching a story unfold, and all the time you’re being taught Spanish. I was thoroughly impressed.” -Tim Norris, CD-ROM Today UK
