Description:

>Wishbone and the Amazing Odyssey is this dog's first foray into the computer world - and as always, Wishbone gets in over his head very quickly! Familiar to PBS viewers, Wishbone's Emmy Award winning series introduces children to important literary works in a fresh, amusing manner. In this title, Wishbone gets zapped into ancient Greece as an animated pooch! To get back home, he needs your help. Help him make important decisions as he follows the only way out - the path of Odyssseus. A paperback edition of Homer's classic tale, The Odyssey is included with the CD-ROM.

Features:

• * A library with clues and information, information on ancient Greece. * A good basis to begin a study of mythology. * Familiar character - Wishbone! * Video clips from the "Homer Sweet Homer" episode of Wishbone. * Nicely constructed role-playing game. What's the story, Wishbone? Notes: Wishbone and the Amazing Odyssey installed and ran with no problems, although it was slow. It would run much smoother on a P100 or greater, so consider yourself warned. Careful... Reactions: From the first episode, Wishbone was a hit at our house! Now that Palladium Interactive has released this title, it's very popular as well. The kids think it's great, and my 12 year old daughter has not only read Homer's The Odyssey, she actually understood the storyline!
