^1 This  is  a  disk  full  of educational programs for the youngsters.
^1Subjects  covered include Geography, English and Maths, with games to
^1reward you for working well.

^2 The  idea is to play the educational games and earn money by getting
^2correct  answers,  after this you can pay 20p to play any one of four
^2games.

^1 A  geography  quiz  gives  you  a scrolling map of Britain.  You are
^1given  a  place  name  and  you  have  to  click on one of the marked
^1locations.  You lose a life each time you make a wrong guess, but you
^1do have plenty of lives to play with.

^2 Another Geography program asks you to pick out the name of a country
^2whose flag is displayed at the top of the screen.

^1 The  third Geography program asks you to choose the Capital city and
^1currency of a given country.

^2 Daisyagram  tests out your skill at anagrams.  The letters making up
^2the  word  rotate around a daisy while you try to make up the correct
^2solution.

^1 Word  Dunk is a cute version of Hangman where your character, Smiley
^1Smile gets dunked in a tub of water if you fail to guess the word.

^2 Word  Mix  gives you a string of letters from which you have to make
^2two  smaller  words.   The  only  thing  is  that  there  is only one
^2`correct'  solution  even if you can make up another set of two words
^2from  the  given letters.  I feel that this should have been covered.
^2(it also occurs in Daisyagram)

^1 The Maths program is set in a TV games show where you have to answer
^1the  sums  before your opponent, Frowny Frown.  A novel approach to a
^1straightforward question and answer maths program.

^2 After playing the educational games, you should have enough money to
^2play  the  four  fun  games  on the disk.  These are nice versions of
^2popular  games  featuring  Smiley  and  Frowny.  You have a choice of
^2versions  of Noughts & Crosses, Four in a Row, a Sliding puzzle and a
^2Bat and Ball game.

^1 There  is  a  chart  for you to watch your progress and see how much
^1cash you have accumulated.  The games are chosen by clicking on boxes
^1as they slide down the screen.

^2 The  presentation  is  very  good  - bright and colourful to catch a
^2child's  eye - and the graphics will hold a child's interest.  It's a
^2pity  that  a couple of minor mistakes have been left in as this suit
^2of programs must have taken a long time to plan and write.

^1 Overall though great value for your £3.50p.
