NEW YORK--Pixel Multimedia Ltd. has launched a line of CD-ROM software products, ranging from children's entertainment to ancient history.
With development studios in Tel Aviv, Israel, the Pixel Group includes Pixel Multimedia, Pixel Animation Ltd. and Pixel Technologies Ltd.
"Our multi-discipline company structure is in place to grow with the emerging union of television, computers and telecommunications that will be delivering exciting multimedia entertainment to America's homes," said Guy Poran, vice president of marketing for Pixel Multimedia, which showed off its new products at Winter CES, which ends today in Las Vegas.
The shining star in Pixel's product line is its Wonder Movies children's series, designed for kids ages 6 to 12.
Follow That Sleigh, the first title in the series, is a musical Christmas journey that includes a paint program for holiday cards, a karaoke machine and a game chest. It has been available since early December, with a suggested retail price of $24.99.
Two sports titles, The Official '94-'95 NFL Interactive Year-book, and an NFL 75th anniversary CD-ROM titled 75 Seasons--The History of The NFL, are a result of Pixel's joint venture with New York-based Nederlander Communications Inc. and Bertelsmann Music Group.
Both titles feature narration by Pat Summerall as well as functions to download statistics and previews of upcoming games.
Co-published with Future Vision and Virtual Arts, Pixel's Martial Arts collection includes three separate titles: Explorer, an introduction to martial arts, and two Cybertutor titles for Karate and Tai-Chi.
Dead Sea Scrolls Revealed is the first title in Pixel's ancient history reference series. Based on material provided by the Israel Antiquities Authority, the title depicts the significant discovery in 3-D reconstruction and the original Hebrew text.
Dead Sea Scrolls Revealed was published jointly with London-based Witkin Associates and Logos Research Systems, a Seattle-based publisher that specializes in religious content.
