JumpStart Activity CD is a sampler disc originally released in 2000. It showcases many of the JumpStart software products that were available at the time, and contains demos for most of the games featured. It is similar to the JumpStart Previews.
In 2002, it was re-released with new content as part of a promotional campaign by The Hershey Company.
Description[]
From the main menu screen, a game can be selected to view some screenshots and information pertaining it. Some of the games include a demo, which consists of one activity from that game.
The original release mainly promotes the "Deluxe" releases of full grade products, and the supplementary discs included with those releases such as JumpStart Around the World. The re-release mainly added more demos for games that previously had none, but also featured a few newer products such as JumpStart Animal Adventures. The re-release also included a trailer for the then-upcoming JumpStart Advanced series.
