Sesame Street ABC 12-04-15 02:41 AM

Sesame Street A-B-C
In 1989, Hi-Tech took a quarto of previously released Sesame Street computer games and ported them as two-packs for the NES; Sesame Street 1-2-3, which includes Astro Grover (counting game) and Ernie's Magic Shapes (shapes & color game), and Sesame Street A-B-C, which includes Letter-Go-Round (ABC's) and Ernie's Big Splash (um... spatial reasoning?). They later released all four games on a single cartridge, but the games we'll be looking at today are those included on the Sesame Street A-B-C cartridge.
Now, I'm not afraid to give an educational game a good score, but Sesame Street A-B-C sadly just isn't all that educational. Letter-Go-Round is meant to teach letters, but it does this by either matching letters (matching capital A to capital A teaches matching skills, sure, but not letter recognition) or by having you spell words. The problem with the world spelling portion of the game is, you're meant to fill in the blanks by picking from the letters they give you... Only they often give you more then one letter that fits (for example, _AR, with the choices C, F, T, and X). Not only is their no indication of what letter you're suppose to pick, but spelling a perfectly valid (but incorrect) word gives you the same response as picking a ludicrously wrong choice (like the X).
The other game, Ernie's Big Splash, scores slightly better in that you can at least have fun with it. The basic premises is the same as Pipe Dreams or Loopz - you have to put down tiles to guide Rubber Duckie to Ernie's bathtub. There's no time limit or limit on which tiles you can use, so it's no stress, and cute little animations play as Rubber Duckie makes his trek. It's charming, but I'm not exactly sure what children are suppose to be learning from it... basic reasoning skills, I suppose.
I feel bad being so hard on this game... I loved Sesame Street growing up, and my kids love it now. But for an educational game ... Read the rest of this Review
