There is something magical about these intros. Like you have the knowledge of the entire world at hand for the first time and experiencing everything you wanted to know from your home. That's something that the Internet and Wikipedia can't imitate: the magic of discovering the unknown.
@@Spyonclear @pezconsombrero A fact about Encarta, it that you remember where read it. In Internet/Wikipedia, this data is corruptible and maybe loose. ¿Se entiende mi ingles?.

I truly miss Encarta. I had the 99 version and I can still remember just spending hours browsing on it while re-runs of The Mummy played in the background on my tv (and I was a big weather nerd so sometimes I’d watch the weather channel lol). It’s what made me love the process of learning new things ❤️
Nya! I remember that video! :D Now I'm not sure what which was the first video I saw in Encarta. I have a feeling it could be this one about the Berlin Wall (th-cam.com/video/KildRgW9j2Q/w-d-xo.html), but it could very well have been someone about music or animals, like this about leopards (th-cam.com/video/KHqXyAuccJ4/w-d-xo.html), but the ones I saw the most times were this one from Mutt and Jeff (th-cam.com/video/q5s8BDmFdNU/w-d-xo.html&list= PLLVC3kSCKMZsjKeUD1lXLg-f585b8q0y1 & index = 19) and that of Charlie Chaplin (th-cam.com/video/So7-AbnNcYE/w-d-xo.html). This one from Houdini is mythical too (th-cam.com/video/vA6riwNMKrs/w-d-xo.html)
Omg this is a throwback, I remember browsing through this hours and hours just learning things. I love going through the temples and different kind of music Encarta introduce me to Aretha Franklin lol
Encarta 98 Intro sounds nice and calming Even the 99’ Version of Encarta in the first part of the the jingle will be remade in the 2002-2009 version. Man I wish Microsoft can revive this series of software.
Mi primer PC en 1998 y mi primer enciclopedia encarta fue de 1999, que recuerdos con estos intros, lastima que desapareció ante la llegada de Wikipedia, mi última edición de encarta fue hasta 2002.
The intros varied depending where in the world you lived and what version of encarta you bought. Encarta 96 in the uk had quotes fro. Shakespeare and Nehru's " India will awake to light and freedom" speech
It first appeared when you installed the Internet Starter Kit for IE 3.0. The Iteration you just heard appears when choosing japan in World Atlas 98's Flight Mode. I honestly didn't know it also played at the start of World Atlas 97. The original one reappears in XP's Out of Box Fresh Install Experience. According to the composer of the piece, Stan LePard, yes it appeared in all 4 of these products one way or another.
Encarta 97 was one of the greatest investments my parents ever made in to my education outside of school. We had the hardcover print encyclopedia collection for some years. I remember a young white guy coming to my grandparents house and sold a set to my mother. I loved reading those books. But Encarta took learning to a whole new level with the interactive games, multimedia clips, pictures and more.
Encarta 98 was amazing. Before it, I mostly researched in books. After it, I used mostly electronic research. The links in Encarta’s text pointed to the internet and helped teach internet research.
Im fairly new to the world of Computer, and to think that in the past, you get to have a Full-On Encyclopedia on your PC is truly awesome on me. Sure, we had Wikipedia and Online videos and such, but i'd certainly love to have this Fully-Fledged Encyclopedia that you can read anytime you want.
I still remember my first encounter with Microsoft Encarta when I was but a mere knowledge hungry tadpole at the age of 11. It was the '97 edition and to this day the music from the intro still sends shivers through my body! It's so darn good! And the way you can spin the whole world around at the start kinda makes you feel like God lol. The next year's edition '98 appears to have sadly lost it's way and the cool music was replaced by some sort of weird lounge jazz ensemble that emphatically fails to impress. *sighs* Oh well, at least I will always fondly look back and remember the '97 edition as the very cream of the PC CD-ROM encyclopedic crop! The year 2000/2001 drum n bass edition was kinda edgy and cool with the intro but still not as cool as the golden year of 97! God I miss the 90s!
5:50 and 6:22 God bless you for this! It made me smile with hope in my heart and soul like you wouldn't believe. I don't know where you found it but thank you very much! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was so nostalgic for me as a kid. I always used computers and one of my favorite programs I used back then was Microsoft Encarta, playing around with the world and clicking on various things to provide me information my little mind was fascinated by and could barely comprehend at the time. I had thought about it last night and couldn’t remember the name of it until now. Good times.
Oh lordy, I've been looking for the encarta 2000 intro for years and I finally can hear it again. Bring me back old memories! Thank you so much for your research and video!
I remember using Encarta 2006 kids and the 2009 student's premium version. Always enjoyed playing those quizzes and searching up random stuff. Imo it made me feel powerful, because it was the first time I knew I could know anything with a click. When I first heard of the internet, which is in 2012 (I was 11 at the time) my mind was blown given how my sister told me it's bigger than Encarta encyclopedia, but still I don't feel about Google and the internet in general the same as Encarta.
*Please help me anyone 😲 which Encarta Virtual Globe was it where you could click on photos from different countries and these photos had songs, I remember this cossack song if you clicked on a photo of the Red Square in Moscow, and different photos from around the world who had their song, I'm looking for a photo from Chile, It was a gathering of people in a restaurant and there was this typical song played along the photo, please anyone help* 🙏🏻 *I have a feeling it was Encarta '97 , but I'm not quite sure, If anyone knows what I'm talking about please help me* ✌
If anyone knows where the audio at 1:19 with the reading of, "Do not go gentle into that good night," comes from, I'd love to hear the rest. That line was burned into my brain from a young age from this intro. Edit: turns out it's Dylan Thomas himself reading it.
So I've been on a hunt for something. This definitely scratched an itch, but we had a program on CD-ROM back in the latter half of the 90s. It was like "something media Library" and it was a lot like Encarta from the looks of it. The background picture was like an old library or something and it had a section where you could play through sample music. Sort of a lexicon of genres. Hip hop, heavy metal, acid rock..and stuff like that. Does anyone remember this at all?
The pride is reducing with every version. From 2006 onward even the UI presentation looks boring. I think I prefer the Ecarta 2000 looks. Moden looking and still full of pride for the knowledge it offers.
Ah yes, Microsoft made a "pocket Wikipedia" in thee 90s. Also most music was composed by Stan LePard, who later composed the Windows XP OOBE music. And Windows XP was released the same year as the launch of Wikipedia. Interesting, huh? Also, I can't imagine if Microsoft remake this old piece of software in the UWP form, which is Windows 11's design language.

Same experience with me, except I tinkered around with the encarta 2006 kids version
Felt very fancy putting a multimedia CD in the computer and this application coming up with sound and art.
Ah, when people were allowed to feel proud about humanity's greatest achievements and science was seen as progress.
Encarta 94. Wow that brings back memories. I spent so much time on that as a young kid.
This felt so cutting edge, the HIndenburg disaster the first video I watched on a computer.

For me Encarta 95's into is just so iconic. Nostalgia aside Encarta 95 had the best intro by far.
98 was the best. It's like the apex-ed in 98 with their intro and then just stopped trying after that
1999 is the one we had. The good old days of the Family Computer and all the software CDs
I would live the 90's again.
The intros varied depending where in the world you lived and what version of encarta you bought.

Yes that's the quote I remember! I was starting to doubt myself watching this video
Encarta 97 World Atlas Intro sounds a lot like the Windows XP’s secret song/installation music.
i'd like to know is it an prequel that we needed it.

The 1999-2000 melody is what I'm familiar with. Takes me back to my year 5 classroom.
My favorite startup sounds are the 1996 and 1998 ones, along with the each of the World Atlases from the 90s (the best being the 98 Virtual Globe).
The 96 intro is so hauntingly beautiful
Oh lordy, I've been looking for the encarta 2000 intro for years and I finally can hear it again. Bring me back old memories! Thank you so much for your research and video!
I’m so happy this exists
Still, that Africana was something I did not expect at all, but I like it. Wish we could get the full theme
I'm looking for the name everywhere
Omg I’ve been looking for the 2000’s one FOREVER. Thank you!
I miss ms student encarta so much. I got introduced to the software by my social study teacher.
I loved intro the encarta 2000 💕
i like Encarta 99 more because of it being animated. Encarta 2000 is static.
Encarta 2000 my first encycloped used 💕 in cds pirates haha
Encarta made me🥺
Our computer didnt have internet back then for a good 3 years and only had Encarta installed ☠️ 😂
Encarta Encyclopedia 2000 Deluxe came with my Dell PC in high school and after that intro I was hooked.
8:40 My childhood summed up in one melody.
Every time I listen to it I want to cry.😭
Encarta 99 me trae muy buenos recuerdos.
encarta 94 intro took me right back to being a small child messing around on our first computer.
7:41 Dead from nostalgia
The 99 intro is my fav.
Encarta '96 and '97 - CHILDHOOD RIGHT THERE!! I'm 36 now, omgggg

My childhood 😭👌❤ the normies should know when in my days of elementary shcool a computer was a heatly knowledge for aquire.
99 looks modern af
Just because Win8 being released on 2012.
Something about that 2001 intro man!!!
A primeira e única que eu tive foi a de 2000, eu amava
omg where did you get all thee ISOs? ive been searching for an iso of Encarta 2001 SO BADLY!
Looks Aesthetic
encarta was already rocking the metro style back in the day
One of few. The other is Microsoft Money 2000 and Windows Codename "Neptune".
06:07 - my childhood is back! :) :) :)
Encarta was fun, I used it in 2007 or 06. While I was in class 7 of school.
7:41 Nostalgie 😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you for this
Encarta kids 2006 was the one I used before and really like to play on quizzes there.
Dang Encarta 95 gave me shivers
5:50, that takes me back!
Always felt something is short I me till I found out I missed seeing Encarta
I miss using encarta kids.
Mi favorito siempre será 2001
So what is the best equivalent to encarta? Offline to just have it and use it wherever

Wasn't Encarta as an whole dead since 2011?
