The EUROPRIX 1998 Winners
EUROPRIX 1998 Overall Winner
Ceremony of Inocence
“Ceremony of Innocence” is a mysterious love story, told through an interactive correspondence of 70 postcards and letters, based upon the “Griffin and Sabine” trilogy by Nick Bantock. Internationally renowned actors and actresses such as Paul McGann, Isabella Rossellini and Ben Kingsley guide the user through the narrative. The CD-ROM enables the user to follow the narrative closely or to take a step back and experience locations that were particularly stimulating and moving. The programme is controlled with the mouse cursor, which will behave in many different ways depending on the given situation. At times, it will disappear completely and leave the user in control of an object or character.
The use of a film-like screen and sound design intensify the experience of “Ceremony of Innocence” and draw the user deep into its story

Winner in the Category First Steps in Multimedia
Snow White and the Seven Hansels
Snow White and the Seven Hansels - Every child knows the three famous fairy-tales “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Snow White” and “Hansel and Gretel”. This CD-ROM puts that kowledge to the test, as only those children who really know the fairy-tales will succeed in this game. Otherwise strange and peculiar things will happen: Snow White ends up eating the gingerbread cottage from “Hansel and Gretel” and gets into serious trouble with the witch for demolishing her house. The objective of the game is to find the correct ending to each fairy-tale. Whilst the game provides the player with numerous clues, it is also possible to ignore these and create completely new fairy-tales by combining the three classics with each other.
The designers paid particular attention to avoiding violence in this programme aimed at children aged 4 to 10. All of the characters survive the game unhurt.

Sokrates
Socrates is back from the Dead! He has returned to earth from Hades to study philosophy at university. Unfortunately, a member of the philosophy faculty has been murdered and Socrates is the prime suspect. Just as in his first life, Socrates is tried before court. The player now has the choice between proving Socrates’ innocence, or helping the prosecution and, ultimately, having Socrates executed. Once the decision of whether or not to help Socrates has been taken, the player will be contacted by either of two publishing companies wishing to publish the player’s Book of Aphorisms.
Museion, the philosophic database of Socrates, assists in the writing of this book. Daemonion, the inner voice of Socrates, gives further advice.
