...soon, dreams may be the only place where tigers roam freely. Already the Nagarahole tigress is not free. If she hunts during the day, she may run into a carload of tourists, cameras clicking. At night, it may be poachers, guns blazing. Once the rulers of their forest home, she and the park's 50 other tigers are now prisoners of human intruders. More than 6,000 Indians live inside the 250-sq.-mi. refuge. And crowding the borders are 250 villages teeming with tens of thousands more people who covet not only the animals that the cats need...

Due out this summer, the Crunch Media disk allows users to roam freely through Presley's haunted mansion, room by room, in 360 degrees shots. Wander into the TV room and play Elvis' hits on his personal phonograph. Noodle on Elvis' piano, strum his guitar, open drawers by clicking on them. Just don't try peeking into Elvis' medicine chest; the bathroom is not open to the public...
