I know this was an "educational" title, basically just a showcase for what CD technology could do. It was still in its infancy, and therefore wasn't even intended to be anything mindblowing.
.... that said, I would've given tens of cents to go back in time and see the one person who rushed into a store, saw this on the shelf and said, "YES! The Flowers Of Robert Maplethorpe! I've been waiting for this forever! I can't believe they still have a copy left!"

"What the f@#! do you mean you don't have my copy of The Flowers Of Robert Maplethorpe!"

I see them as being someone who legitimately didn't know that video games could be fun and not at all educational.

Hank Scorpio
He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

Can they do Endless Ocean yet? I know that would involve actual gameplay but still.

Yeah, he's the one guy who returned "Donkey Kong Jr." to the store, saying "It's fun and all.... but where's the math?"

I had a friend I used to joke with about trying to combine the ideals of the fun game and the educational game. The two I can recall off the top are MLB Power Prose and Personal Finance Ogre.
