EXPLORE THE ERA THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
The Atomic Age(tm): The History, Science and Consequences of the Nuclear Age


CARLSBAD, California-April 3, 1995- AJ Software announced today that its first
commercial CD-ROM, The Atomic Age(tm), has been published by SoftKey
International. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the dawn of the nuclear
age. The invention of the atom bomb marks a crucial turning point in the
history of mankind. As the world reexamines the bombings of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, The Atomic Age(tm) is the definitive multimedia CD-ROM chronicling
mankind's race for nuclear weapons.

The historical footage, photographs, interactive maps, and biographies in The
Atomic Age(tm) bring the dawn of the nuclear era to life. Witness the first
mushroom cloud rise over the New Mexico desert. Discover how nuclear weapons
work, from their basic physics to their massive and destructive effects. Learn
about topics such as arms control efforts and treaties, the delivery systems
of the deadly nuclear triad, the physics of nuclear fission and fusion, and
the potential consequences of the use of nuclear weapons on three major U.S.
cities.

"We are very proud of the depth of the content that is assembled on this
CD-ROM," explains Chris Griffith, AJ Software & Multimedia' s founder and
senior producer. "It brings together many different and related topics for the
user to better understand the atomic age. Over three years of research was
spent developing this title."

The easy to use interface allows you to explore the more than 150 photographs,
over 30 minutes of QuickTime(tm) video, an interactive timeline of the nuclear
age, as well as a glossary of more than 200 key terms. The Atomic Age(tm) also
features in-depth biographies of key figures and numerous maps and original
documents.

The Atomic Age(tm) is the ideal program in nuclear age education for both
students and adults. It is available for both Macintosh and Windows platforms
at software and electronic stores for about $19.95 (US anticipated street
price).
