MATH RESCUE
 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.
