Leonardo da Vinci is a 1997 interactive CD-ROM game by Corbis, consisting of a "computerized viewing tool which permits the user to examine English translations of the Codex [Leicester] superimposed onto facsimiles of its pages".[1] The tool, known as Codescope, is licensed by Corbis.

Development

In 1994, Bill Gates acquired the Codex Leicester.[1] In 1997, Gates' privately held company Corbis released a CD-Rom version of the manuscript.[1] On October 25, 1996 it was announced the game would be ready for the holiday season (Microsoft Windows in November and Macintosh in December[2]), but this was ultimately postponed.[2] The game was one in a line of educational/entertainment CD-ROMs with subjects including Paul Cézanne, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the Manhattan Project.[3] The game's promotion was kick-started by being featured in a Da Vinci exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.[4]

Content

The title contains the Codex Leceister, as well as a virtual gallery of Leonardo’s major paintings, plus his drawings, manuscripts, and lost works.[5] Players can view the Codex in the original mirror-script Italian, a reversed “normal” view, a transcription of the original Italian, and a modern English translation.[6] Leonardo Da Vinci is a coffee-table-book type game.[7]

Critical reception

Lawyer Gary L. Wolfstone deemed the project "impressive" and "interpretive".[1] Computer Shopper praised the title's ease of use and slick production values.[8] The Economist felt the game "exemplif[ies] the strengths and weaknesses of multimedia at its current, immature state of development".[9] ATPM felt the game would hold the interest of both novice and scholar.[10] The New York Times deemed it one of the better art-history CD-ROMs, despite some oversights in features and interface.[11] Wired explained that the experience of playing the game was "as if Leonardo can suddenly speak".[12] De Volkskrant felt that the game supported Gates' thesis that computer technology could be a form of art.[13] The Wall Street Journal wrote that while Da Vinci is a popular subject for video games, this title "beats them all".[14]

Corbis did not earn a profit from the game.[7]
