Complete Guide Special Interest Videos Quanta Press 1993 VTG PC Mac CD-ROM Rare
Rare vintage The Complete Guide to Special Interest Videos CD-ROM published by Quanta Press, documented as a 1993 PC and Macintosh CD-ROM release.
This unusual multimedia reference title was designed to help users locate the enormous variety of specialty and non-theatrical videos available before internet search engines and online video databases made this type of information readily accessible.
Special-interest video guides of the period covered thousands of titles outside conventional Hollywood movies, including how-to and instructional programs, hobbies, travel, sports, exercise, education, music, pets, home improvement and numerous other specialized subjects.
The Complete Guide to Special Interest Videos represents a fascinating snapshot of the home-video marketplace during the VHS era and an equally interesting artifact from the early development of searchable CD-ROM databases.
Published by Quanta Press during the early 1990s multimedia boom, when CD-ROM technology was beginning to replace massive printed reference directories with electronically searchable databases.
