Retreading Water

The Titanic truly was unsinkable: Eighty-four years after the luxury liner's doomed maiden voyage, the now-mythic tragedy continues to pique curiosity, with a just-aired miniseries, a handful of new books, James Cameron's upcoming movie, and a Broadway musical due this spring. Three new CD-ROM titles revisit the fateful event as well: A Night to Remember features the 1958 movie based on Walter Lord's book, and footage of the author, while Titanic: Adventure Out of Time puts players in a replica of the giant ship, where they become tangled in a spy plot. And look for Philips Media's Titanic reference title to piggyback on the feature film.
