History

Four revisions of Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia were released.^[1] The first, bundled with the JVC X'Eye and internally dated May 1994, is the title's base release. The second, bundled with a later release of the X'Eye and internally dated September 1994, greatly expands upon the number of articles and adds an additional series of narrated slideshows. This second revision was also the base for a third revision, which was the version available for purchase separately. The fourth, also bundled with an even later release of the X'Eye and internally dated October 1994, is virtual identical to the previous revision spare an updated set of production credits and some minor programming changes.^[1]
