Reception
Critical Path was praised for its superior graphics and computer-generated imagery, but criticized for being little more than a 30 minute movie whose puzzles mostly consisted of pushing the right button at the right time.
The game sold approximately 300,000 units; 125,000 retail sales and 175,000 bundled in other hardware and software packages.
Media Vision's rights to Critical Path were acquired by Virgin Interactive in 1994 when they purchased Media Vision's publishing group.

“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
