- The best Amiga program for 2-6 year olds I have seen is Amy's Fun-2-3
- Adventure from Devasoft (408-927-9645). It requires 1Meg of ram to run
- though. There is a demo avialable from any Aminet ftp site. It's named
- Fun-2-3-demo.lha. Sorry I can't remember the path.
-
- The following is a clip from one of the ReadMe files which comes with the
- demo:
-
- Devasoft is unleashing the first in its lineup of new educational programs
- for young minds. AMY'S FUN-2-3 ADVENTURE is the premier title to be
- released in a planned series of programs whose target audience is in the
- 2 to 6 year old age group. Each title will star a cute, playful little
- puppy named Amy, who helps make learning more fun and exciting.
-
- In Amy's Fun-2-3 Adventure, Amy introduces children to numbers and
- counting by taking them through a variety of entertaining activities. In
- much the same way as a quality video game is presented, each activity
- employs great graphics and smooth, detailed animation to get its point
- across. Digitized speech and sound effects further enhance learning and
- play action, making the program a joy for children to use.
