When the new medium of CDROMs emerged, industry figures and critics alike proclaimed their virtually unlimited potential. Adapting material from wellestablished media like television and film, CDROMs have quickly transformed genres such as science fiction and horror. At the same time, the realities of actual CDROMs often fall short of their utopian visions.On a Silver Platter marks a 'coming of age' for CDROMs as a commercially and aesthetically significant medium demanding critical attention. Greg Smith brings together media scholars such as Lisa Cartwright, Henry Jenkins, Janet Murray, and Scott Bukatman to analyze how CDROMs offer alternatives to familiar placesto museums, to cities, and especially to classrooms. Examining specific CDROM titles, including, Sim City, Civilization, and Phantasmagoria, the contributors argue that CDROMs are complex texts worthy of close consideration, both for how they have changed our understanding of space and genre, and for how they will impact the development of future media.By examining particular CDROM texts and contexts, On a Silver Platter probes this new medium for insight and understanding into the current state of multimedia and into the future of technology.
