Imagine what would happen if a giant meteorite hit the earth and the planet stopped rotating with one side freezing to death and the other side scorched to death by the sun.

Humankind's only hope is to generate enough electricity to cause a power surge that will spin the planet back to normality.

You are tasked with creating the surge and need to use the giant Physicus database to find out how to do it!

This and many other exciting science-based adventures form one of the most fascinating pieces of educational software I have seen.

The 3D images jump out from the screen.

The content is excellent with many physics-related puzzles including a close look at electricity, soundwaves, light and shadow, lenses, hot air balloons and much more.

Suitable for ages ten upwards, Physicus will run on a Pentium 133 with 32 MB Ram, 8x CD Drive and Win 95 and above or a MAC Power PC 166Mhz with 16 Mb RAM and an 8x speed CD Drive.
