This is a rare scan of the 1994 edition of the Italian 'Enciclopedia Elettronica Multimediale Grolier' on CD-i. Thanks to CD-i member Marco Parisio Java we can have a close look at this rare exclusive and regional CD-i release: Enciclopedia Elettronica Grolier. On the back it sais every year a new update will be published. We know at least of a 1994, 1995 and 1996 version on CD-i. After that the series continued on platforms like Commodore CDTV. On this CD-i disc, a total of 21 volumes of the Italian Grolier Encyclopedia are all inside. You'll find articles, shot movies, pictures, design and music. You can watch the history news on science, technology, arts, history, geography, contemporary life, sport, and many more. These encyclopedias were presented in a special CD-i case. The Enciclopedia Elettronica Grolier from 1994 was published inhouse at Digimail and produced by Grolier Hachette International, just like the 1995 and 1996 edition. We showed you the 1995 edition on CD-i here.
Interesting fact is that some USA CD-i catalogues mention a USA version of the Grolier encylopedia on CD-i, but unfortunately this version remain unreleased.
