Reviews:

PC Entertainment, March 1996

"Future Vision Multimedia's Pathways Through Jerusalem takes a multicultural view. You'll find interesting interactive timelines, hyperlinked databases, and multimedia maps covering the city, its history, and its significance. The comprehensive two-disc title also presents nine guided video tours throughout the city. Your guides include historical figures King David and Herod the Great, as well as modern Christian, Jewish, and Muslim residents. Each covers the same ground, but view it from a unique historical and cultural perspective. The guides' acting talent ranges from sincere to campy, but the experience captures the essence of an actual visit to the Holy City and reflects how different groups regard this important place."

Computer Shopper, March 1996

"There's an excellent database for researching specific sites and topics, as well as a cool map that lets you take in the city one site at a time. You also can access period texts, check in on related archaeological discoveries, learn about the myths associated with various places, and get different historical perspectives from other guides about the same structure or landmark.

Technically, the title is brilliant. The producers make effective use of blue-screen filming techniques to superimpose the actors against the historical backdrops. The video clips are done extremely well, too, particularly those rleating to the modern era of the British Mandate and the founding of Israel."
