A combination adventure, strategy, and arcade game, In Search Of The Most Ainazing Thing, has been released by Spinnaker Software. The game is designed to create an environment in which children are encouraged to experiment and discover, to negotiate with aliens, not destroy them.
The user begins his quest for The Most Amazing Thing by seeking the advice of Old Smoke Bailey, who explains the rules and outlines the hazards ahead. As the game progresses, the child learns decision making, note taking, map reading, trading and bargaining, music writing, and drawing in his search for The Most Amazing Thing.
The game, written by Tom Snyder, comes with Jim Morrow's novel, The Adventures of Smoke Bailey, which was written as an accompaniment.
The $39.95 program is available for the Apple, Atari, and Commodore 64 computers.
