Comparison of the 1992 Mac Edition & 2011 Polish Web Edition of afternoon

 

These video clips demonstrate the differences and similarities in the visual presentation between the 1992 edition of Michael Joyce's afternoon. a story and its Polish edition from 2011. Although the Polish edition was rebuilt in the enviromnent of modern browsers, it aimed to retain the spirit of the original both on the functional and visual levels. From the opening screen readers of both the original and the Web Edition can chose either to click on "yes" / "no" buttons and links or to navigate the default path by pressing down the enter/return key. Also, a link menu with path names and destinations has been reconstructed in the Polish version. The toolbar icons in the 2011 Edition are borrowed directly from the 1992 edition.
