If you have EGA or VGA - don't discount the programs in the CGA section. Many
support several graphics modes and will display in the best graphics
available. For example - the very popular "Electric Crayon at the Zoo"
displays in 4 colours (if you have CGA), 16 (if you have EGA) and 256 colours
if you have VGA or sVGA.

║ *** BERTS COLOURING PROGRAMS *** ║
╚════════════════════════════════════╝
This series is highly recommended for teaching young children basic mouse and
keyboard skills. Suitable for about ages 3-8, all titles have the following
format: Select a background scene, then pick various creatures from a picture
menu (each in four sizes) to place on the scenery. The animals "speak" their
names when selected (soundblaster or PC speaker), as many as you wish can be
arranged in the picture which can then be coloured with a mouse (30 colours).
Finally older children can add "storylines" to their pictures before printing
or saving to disk. Printers supported include Epsom/IBM 9/24pin d.matrix, HP
Laserjet and Paintjet/deskjet (colour). One very nice extra feature is that
if you install more than one colouring book program they can all be stored in
one directory. A pick list of all installed titles automatically appears for
your child. All require a hard disk (≈700K each), 512K RAM, VGA and a
Microsoft compatible mouse. Registration is $30 for one (further titles at $5
each) and brings additional pictures plus a manual.
[all on 3½"DD (£2.00) or 5¼"HD (£3.00) disks only]
NOTE: Pictures saved in one program can be loaded into another. For example,
a picture saved in Berts Dinosaurs can be loaded into Berts Prehistoric
Animals and embellished further! This leads to many interesting combinations!
