That club remix needs to get to Spotify! Would make top trending songs world wide within a day or two!

That's not one that I own, so it's unlikely. However, I'm pretty sure that's the one PushingUpRoses owns and played as a kid, she's talked about covering it

I don't suppose you could make a review on the VGA remake of Reader Rabbit for MS-DOS? I know you've already covered the original, but it's the remake I used to play fondly as a child.

That box art is kind of terrifying to me. That one single eye bores into my soul. Also, that one second picture of you was totally necessary for the well-being of this video. Did you make that remix yourself? Pretty sweet groove, I must say! :)

Heh. Though I have to say, the box looks pretty nice overall, and there is something about just opening it to get to the cassette is really pleasing.

Well I mean they weren't going to get any worse at least. But yeah, this seems almost PRE-Educational. Like the rarely-used Early Childhood ESRB rating.

It's a pretty bad port, but the others really don't offer any more substance beyond "better" graphics

It really is pretty bad, especially for a Sierra game

Good thing this wasn't teaching spelling, hah

I really wish I had games on cassettes back then! Sort of. It would've blown my tiny brain.

I'm glad you think so :P

The title screen refers to it as "Seirra" On-Line's. I'm hoping this is just a really poor Spectrum port. I know the console version at least had way more detailed animation for Leeper.

jesus, man. this is one of the most garbage game you have ever reviewed hahaha

So, this game teaches pattern recognition, shape matching, and nothing else. Splendid.
Also, can we get a download of that Leeper remix Clint?

An educational game that has a spelling error right in the title screen? I'm sold!

Wow. It's interesting to see such shovelware 'edutainment' make an appearance so early on. Especially on the Spectrum of all things.
It feels like there'd be very little gameplay in there tops. But it's such a weird release on so many levels. So glad I'd never have been exposed to this (at least in its other forms)…
The rave track was easily the highlight of this one :D

Well, that was um, err, yeah, really it was. Great review though Clint. :)

This makes me glad I wasn't alive to in 83 to play educational games like these ha ha

Wow, that really lacked anything actually educational. o.o
Some counting was about it, but wow.
Best part was the music you made for it though! Hehe
