## Description

The _Alarm f ur Cobra 11: Die Autobahnpolizei_ CD-ROM is a multimedia
reference and interactive making-of about the successful German action TV
series of the same name. The series revolves around cases of the fictitious
highway police department 11 and its two main investigators, handling cases
from smuggling to kidnapping, extortion and murder. The show is known for
featuring high-speed car chases, massive pile-up crashes and explosions in
most episodes.

This Apple Media Kit-based CD-ROM mainly features a reference section on the
first 15 episodes of the show, including plot summaries, snapshots, actor and
character biographies, and background information on the production process
and stunts. Numerous video clips serve as illustrations.

Two games are also included:

* The _Cobra-Quiz_ is a timed trivia game that tests the player’s knowledge of the series. There are two stages of 12 randomly selected multiple-choice questions each. If at least half of the questions are answered correctly in both stages, the player is rewarded with an outtake video. The answers to the questions can be learned from the other sections of the CD-ROM.
* The _Action Game_ allows players to try their hand at stunt coordination. Given a wind speed, they have to adjust the angle of a ramp, and the speed of the car that will drive onto it, to try and have it clear a certain distance. Depending on whether the car will clear the obstacle, or overshoot or undershoot the target, one of two different outcomes is shown in a video clip.

Other interactive sections of the CD-ROM include the _Trailer Director_
screen, where a trailer for the TV show can be assembled from nine given
clips, and the _Foley Stage_ where a sequence of action scenes without sound
can be enhanced by playing sound effects from a selection of seven samples.
Both of these screens allow saving the created sequence in order to play it
back again later.
