This was Sierra's first ever CD-ROM title. It's a totally rewritten version
of the original Mixed Up Mother Goose, featuring enhanced MIDI soundtrack, VGA
graphics, complete digitized speech along with improved animations and a few other
goodies. The rhymes, whose tune was played in the previous versions, were given voices,
each of them being sung separately, with the appropriate actions accompanying the music.
The interface was updated and became much easier and faster to navigate. The player was
also given a map of the land, if he or she should ever feel lost in the nursery rhyme
world. You can use it to instantly "warp" to any location previously visited, and
there's also an autosave function. This edition came out as a CD version with full
digital speech, and as a floppy version in which only the rhymes were digitally recorded.
It was one of the very first games ever made specifically for CD-ROM distribution,
although the whole game is only a few dozen megabytes long (most CD-ROM titles at the
time were simply re-releases of floppy titles, with no enhancements). |
