Great summary!

As for useless trivia, Director actually even predates it's main use of producing multimedia CD-ROMs. When it was still a MacroMind product, it was used for stuff like the "getting started" floppy disk for early Macs (the tutorial where you learned how to use a mouse by feeding fish and stuff)

Right, I suppose it's not fair to say it was originally meant for "creating CD-ROM games," that's an oversimplification. It's more like it was meant as a way to make applications without needing to learn a more advanced language like C++.
