                               Search and Find
                               
Even the littlest computer kids will be able to use Search and Find. The
Atari computer mixes up 15 different pictures on the screen and then asks
your child, in a real human voice, to find one of the pictures.

                            "Find the strawberry"
 
If the child points to the correct picture, the human voice congratulates
the child and then moves on to a different picture jumble. If the child chooses
wrong, he/she is told in a soothing human voice,

                "No ... that's the apple, find the strawberry"

Animals, household items, boats, planes, ships, food, all sorts of pictures are
available. Each time the program is run it's a different game. There
are more than 40 assorted pictures! The child wins the game after choosing 14
different pictures correctly (there are no penalties for wrong answers).

There has not been another program for the Atari ST that interacts with 
your child the same way, using real digitized human speech! All the child must
learn is how to slide the mouse and click the mouse button.

                                Talking Jumble

This program jumbles up the ABC's. It's up to your child to put them back in 
the correct order by pointing and clicking with the mouse.  

So what's new? This program talks! Your child can point and click on any 
letter to hear what it sounds like. A real human voice speaks the ABC's 
and shows your child the correct order, even when they are jumbled! 

______________________________________________________________________________ 

                             The Alphabet Monkey
  
This program helps little ones learn the letters of the alphabet and the keys 
on the Atari keyboard. This simple program displays a funny animated monkey 
that talks! In a squeaky voice the monkey asks the child to "press a key"! 

Every time your child touches a key, the monkey squeaks out the correct
letter. Kids can type all day while the monkey squeaks out the ABC's!

                            Mathematics with Sasha

Sasha is a Siberian Husky dog. She will help your kids practice multiplication,
addition and subtraction. Every time they answer correctly, an animated Sasha
barks and gives them a "cat". If they answer wrong, Sasha whines.

Six cats equal one level and every five levels a new surprize animation and
digitized song appear. There are five surprizes and then the winner gets to see
Sasha's puppy!

This happy dog does not penalize your child for wrong answers. After three
incorrect answers Sasha will let your child peek at the correct number. 
Parents can also configure numbers used in the times tables.

Your kids will love learning math with Sasha!

                                 Sound Search

Sound Search is just like Concentration but with sound. Kids press buttons and
hear sounds. There are twenty buttons, ten matching sounds. When kids choose 
two buttons that sound the same, they disappear! There are over 60 different
sampled sounds! Each time the program is run, it's a different game!

This memorization game is fun for adults too. I've also included a special 
utility that allows parents to choose sounds, turn some on and some off.

                                 Super Jumble

Super Jumble takes ABC jumble to the limit! Imagine a custom jumble program 
where you can design your own jumbles. Alphabets, numbers, stories, clocks,
foreign languages ... the sky's the limit!

Save and import jumbles into you favorite paint program or design them 
within Super Jumble. I've included: 

                              Upper Case Jumble
                              Lower Case Jumble
                                Number Jumble
                           Time with Clocks Jumble
                                Hebrew Jumble
                           and Sign Language Jumble

Use your imagination, share jumbles with other Atari users. Add you own 
custom typefaces. Even your kids can design and draw their own jumble screens!

                             Extra Bonus Programs

I've included JiffyDraw, a simple, full featured paint program with this
set of disks and also Frustration! a word creation game that's a little 
like Boggle and Scrabble.

             IF YOU OWN A MONOCHROME MONITOR, AND YOU HAVE KIDS,
               THIS SUPER SHAREWARE DISK SET IS A MUST HAVE!

               YOU WON'T FIND A BETTER BARGAIN FOR YOUR ATARI!

                                            I hope to hear from you,
