Grimm days in Simsala: thanks to her father's brainless boasting, Sissi has to spin whole warehouses full of straw into gold. An impossible task? Well, not when an ugly little gnome appears and offers his help--but at a very high price indeed. Can you save Sissi from a gruesome fate? In this version of the Brothers Grimm's famous fairytale, the progress and plot of the tale depend on your abilities and quickness in the many, many games and tasks you have to master. Can you make a golden spindle? Can you remember the troll's magic tune? And most of all, will you be able to discover his secret? But don't worry: Yoyo and Doc Croc are here to help and spur you on. Rumpelstiltskin is a fun and entertaining adventure story for children aged between three and seven years. The cartoon-like quality of the graphics is impressive and the CD-ROM manages to successfully strike the right balance between telling the story in an entertaining way and introducing interactive games to keep youngsters hooked. A poor struggling miller has had a terrible harvest and he cannot afford to pay his taxes to the king. But the cruel Sir Randolph has no time for his excuses and decides to take the miller's beloved daughter in exchange. To add insult to injury, as Sir Randolph is leaving, he turns around and snatches the poor miller's last sack of grain. However you are given a chance to intervene and save the miller's daughter, Sissi. Using the arrows on your keyboard you are invited to play a game to try to hide the two brave fun-loving characters, Yoyo and Doc Croc, in the sack so that they may attempt to rescue the poor miller's beautiful daughter. You have to guide them across moving bales of hay and safely into the sack.
