Free Exploration of the World Wide Web (WWW)

Travel the world through hyperspace. A world map appears and lets you click anywhere you wish. You are eventually transported to the city of your choice where you can access the local WWW servers and gather information about the places you visit. The servers contain incredible amounts of information resources for you to explore. Visit towns in Latin America, read a Japanese newspaper and learn some Spanish jokes at the University of Madrid. You can also access a long list of languages here.
