I got this on CD-ROM back in the 90's. It was really fun looking through stuff.

Yes, the Hugo-Nebula 1993 CD-ROM. That included some of the earliest (some say the earliest) examples of ebooks based on current fiction (rather than on out-of-copyright classic books). I have it myself still somewhere.

Yes, that was it! I haven't seen mine for a couple of decades. Too aggressive purging of stuff, so I think I won't see it ever again.
