Put Cinderella: Until the Stroke of Midnight next to the history of fashion and style and a few unexpected connections appear. Barbie Fashion Designer became a major software hit in 1996, selling more than 500,000 copies in two months and proving there was a large audience for fashion-focused computer play.

Not bad for a few facts hiding behind a Play button.
