SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE GOES POLITICAL (Berkeley Systems, CD-ROM for PC and Mac, $29.99) For SNL, politics is the art of the laughable, and this CD-ROM, chronicling 20 years of the show's political humor (1975-95), is proof positive. Enter the Voting Booth to navigate the skits and games; even Chevy Chase's bumbling Gerald Ford could find his way through nearly 300 video clips ranging from Dan Aykroyd's paranoid Nixon to Phil Hartman's burger-craving Clinton. The clips display seamlessly and make instant comic sense, and you can switch in midstream without crashing. While the five games' attempts at interactivity are a bit clumsy, the Clinton Pac-Man trying to gulp fries while avoiding a Secret Service agent wins by a landslide. B+
