Slideshow E -pd- Rom — Neon Genesis Evangelion

This prompt refers to a specific, somewhat obscure piece of media from the late 90s: the Neon Genesis Evangelion: Addition

The Legacy: Was It Worth It?

Critically, the Neon Genesis Evangelion Slideshow E-PD-ROM is a terrible piece of software. It is not a game. It is not a reference. It is a slideshow. It has no ending. It has no unlockables beyond a wallpaper that is 640x480.

Contents of the Disc: A Time Capsule

If you were to find an original, un-scratched copy of this E-PD-ROM today, what would you find? Based on surviving ISO rips and forum discussions from 2003-era 2channel archives, the disc contains the following:

Mini-Games: Small "desk accessories" like a Pen² (Pen-Pen) sprite that followed the mouse cursor or a shutdown timer. Technical Specifications

1. The "P" Stands for Perfect (and Production)

Released in June 1997 for Windows 95, the title is deceptive. While called a "slideshow," the "-PD-" stands for Perfect Draft (or sometimes interpreted as Production Data).

If you are looking for legitimate, interactive video games based on the franchise, consider exploring its rich official catalog instead. There is a complete chronicle of licensed releases listed on the community-driven Evangelion Wiki.

Then the slideshow ended.
