Heh. The first "product" I was ever technical lead on was a phonics based reading education "interactive CDROM" for children, a teaching course created by an educational psychologist as a reaction against the then-fashionable "holistic" method of teaching kids to read: https://www.phonicsalive.com.au https://www.phonicsalive.com.au We launched that in late 1995 scrambling to get it into shops for the xmas market and before schools closed for the year. We were significantly screwed over by changes in the multi track audio capabilities between Win3.3 and Windows95. I'm inordinately proud that (at least some of them) are still for sale, and I break out into a huge smile every time I see a shelf full of them at a bricks and mortar retailer. Last time I checked (maybe 5 years back now) my name (and those of my team) were still printed around the edge of the CDROM. (I'm also astounded it still works at all, and impressed by Microsoft's dedication to backwards compatibility. That was largely developed in MacOS9 and Windows 3.3 using Macromind (later Macromedia) Director. It stopped working on Mac back when Apple gave up on supporting running legacy MacOS9 apps and the owner/client didn't want to pay to upgrade for Mac. Now it's sold as "Windows only", but I'd bet pretty good money if you bought a copy and resurrected a MacOS9 machine, it'd still run just fine...)
