-
- This is by far one of the best
-
- interactive educational games to come
-
- down the road for the C-64. It even
-
- talks!!!
-
- Your child has several options at the
-
- start. He can choose the level of
-
- difficulty and pick a word list. He
-
- can also choose his character to move
-
- about the cave (either a boy named
-
- Mark or a girl named Becky).
-
- Once into the cave, he must avoid
-
- dangerous cave creatures such as
-
- spiders, snakes, scorpions, etc.
-
- There are rocks and holes to jump
-
- over, ladders to climb, and crystals
-
- to find. Of course, there is the
-
- Wizard.
-
- When the Wizard appears, he asks your
-
- child to spell a word. If he spells
-
- it correctly, more energy is added to
-
- his flashlight, and he can continue
-
- exploring the cave.
-
- The speech is top notch and easy to
-
- understand. If you are not sure of
-
- a word, pressing F7 repeats the word
-
- for you.
-
-
- At $39.95, it is well worth the price.
