Well if anyone is taking requests, I’ve been looking for something from a 1990s British Mac magazine coverdisc or coverdisk (suspect the latter): it was an advert for a Canon Bubblejet printer - I don’t think it was a video as such, more of an animation. It explained the bubble mechanism of the printer and played a cool song throughout.

Were those the ones in jewel cases?

If I knew the cover art for that issue it wouldn't be hard to look through my parent's stacks of Mac Magazine cds.

Possibly although the more I think about it, I think it was on a floppy disk rather than a CD.

This by any chance? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccEpeuqdHGM

No, it was an animation, like an early Flash animation. No voiceover (that would have been too advanced).

Thank you for looking though :)
