 Apogee enters the
educational arena with a program that teaches spelling, logic, word meanings and
reading--yet is as compelling to play as our other top games! Built with a similar system
that we used to create Duke Nukem, Word Rescue is an incredible adventure for kids who
want to rescue all the stolen words from the mean ol' Gruzzles. The Gruzzles can't read,
and they don't want anyone else to read. So, they've stolen the words out of all of our
books!
Benny Bookworm needs your help to stop the Gruzzles. He needs you to reunite the stolen
words with their meanings. Once you join all the words with their pictures, Benny will put
them back into the books.
This is an engrossing educational game with vivid EGA/VGA graphics and support for Adlib
and Sound Blaster. Using the Duke Nukem graphical system, Word Rescue has state-of-the-art
dual-screen scrolling graphics similar to what's seen on the Super Nintendo and Sega
Genesis home gaming systems. Even "grown-ups" will like Word Rescue!
Word Rescue is designed for a range of players of all ages:
-
Easy level: Ages 4 - 7 (Even pre readers can play the game.)
-
Medium level: Ages 7 - 10
-
Hard level: Ages 10 and up (A challenge for adults, too!)
Play as either a girl, or a boy! You get to choose which
character you wish to play, either male or female. Either way, you'll visit amazing
locations on your word finding adventure. As you hunt for all the missing words you'll
visit dark caves, rocky cliffs, deserts, happy towns, scary haunted houses, funny
factories, creepy dungeons, and many others.
