Reviews:

Multimedia World, December 1994.

"Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time is the best example I've seen of existing content being successfully adapted to multimedia."

Can you spot the loony in the Loonatorium?"Gilliam's animations dominate the CD-ROM, as it contains only a few hours of video. The result is less a retrospective of skits than a way to participate in the sketches themselves."

"Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time is a great multimedia title that will set standards, spawn imitators, and keep you laughing for a long time. It succeeds partially because of the quality of the content, but ultimately shines for the ability to improve on how that content was presented in the first place."
