3Sad about the res but get it anyhow...  Feb 12, 2010
Regarding the low resolution: to think I almost "upgraded" from my Broderbund cd-roms. Glad I read the negatives here.

Considering that the main draw for me with MAD is the stunning art by Wally Wood in the first hundred or so issues, it makes no sense to have less resolution. I truly pity the latecomers who missed out on the cd-rom set and will not get the full impact of each issue.

However, I was introduced to my dad's stack of twenty year old MADs when I was a tyke in the 1970s - it included most of the issues from 37-125 (lost in a housefire, darnit) and were not simply funny but an introduction to recent history. I supppose I was the only eight year old who knew all the jokes about Richard Nixon and Nikita Khruschev.

The very best issues were 35-85 (1957-1962), be sure to check them out.

SO - if you have little guys and a PC, by all means get this for them and get them interested in their social studies classes from a smart-ass angle. It's always been a great help to me.

On the serious side, for a younger generation that seems to have trouble questioning authority, this is essential in developing an over-all sense of humor regarding the world and how it works.

4Mad is Back!  Feb 09, 2010
Excellent quality copies of all or mostly all the original Mad issues through the years. It's great to have all this stuff on one DVD.

There was a problem getting the DVD to open on my Vista machine, but I managed to get it to work by uninstalling the latest Adobe .pdf program, and installing the version that comes with the DVD. Then I copied the .pdf files to an external hard drive for more convenience next time.

Very fun, to look back through all those years, and remember what a bonehead I was as a kid!National Lampoon Magazine & Mad Magazine Complete Collectors Comic Books Collection Bundle

5Absolutely Mad Review  Feb 06, 2010
I think it's great. You can look at all of the old Mad Magazines that you grew up with and even the ones before you were born which are a totally different format. All in all it is worth the money.

1How do you get this DVD to run on a Vista platform.  Feb 03, 2010
I can't get either this or the National Lampoon anthology to play; I have a Vista operating system and the latest Adobe Reader, but when I inert the disc in my player, which works well otherwise, nothing happens.

I tried E-mailing the custmer support address I found on the box, but all I got back was an e mail saying they had received my message and would be contacting me soon. That was three weeks ago. What's up?

4Not absolutely complete, but amazing nonetheless  Dec 27, 2009
First of all, this played perfectly on a Windows 7 machine, so it will work on Vista. Yep, all of the first 6 editions are here, fairly nicely accessible through the Adobe PDF interface. And the MAD fold-ins are clickable - click once and it shows you the folded up version (kinda cute). BUT - having said all this, while it does indeed show the covers of the various special editions and compilations that came out over the years, it doesn't have the bonuses that came with them; no sound files, no cutouts (pity, they could've been printed out), no stickers, etc. But a ton of this stuff isn't available anywhere else, including the books. All in all, it's worth every penny of 25 bucks!
