Volcanoes: Life on the Edge is a 1996 interactive CD-ROM published by Corbis.[1] It recounts the expeditions by photojournalist Roger Russmeyer to volcanoes around the world.[2]
Discover Magazine deemed it a satisfying title about Earth science.[3] Technology Review deemed the title both the most conventional and arresting of Corbis' output.[4] Newsweek described the project as "well-wrought".[5] The The Washington Post deemed it a first-rate CD-ROM documentary.[6] The Sydney Morning Herald disliked the "humdrum photo-essays about low-key eruptions".[7]
MacUser praised the well-organised interface[8] while Popular Science enjoyed the "stunning" photographs.[9] MacWorld gave the game 7.2/10.[10]
Development
The game was announced in December 1995.[11]
