...Peter Gabriel. The Genesis grad, whose music videos (Sledgehammer, Steam) have been pixilated eye-poppers, offers options galore in his CD-ROM Xplora 1: Peter Gabriel's Secret World.

"You'll know when you've got it," says Mr. Computer Potato Head while you give him a facial. This achieved, you must decide what to do next: Watch one of his music videos?

"As soon as we opened for business, gun enthusiasts jumped on us for what they saw as TIME's antigun bias," says technology editor Philip Elmer-DeWitt. "It has fallen largely to Tom to figure...
...dramatically misshapen: its most singing moments are in the first half. And audiences may be as weary of Stone's haranguing about Vietnam as they are afraid of people with AIDS. But if Stone simplifies and distorts, he often does so brilliantly, like a cartoonist with a Fauvist's eye for the drama in color and character...
