THE CARTOON HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE (Putnam New Media, CD-ROM for PC/Windows and Mac, $35) The first seven volumes of graphic artist Larry Gonick's ongoing project (taking readers from the big bang to Alexander the Great) have been poured onto two CD-ROMs and spiced up with rudimentary animation and 18 puzzles, turning what was an informatively silly book series into a hugely amusing world-history slide show. Your kids will probably be glued to the monitor, especially during the game in which they try to get the mummy's brain out through his nose. B+ -TB
