Alright, this one packs a lot of punch! The package has 4 areas of activities:
PAINT, MUSIC, GAMES, and STYLE. Here's a little summary of each from the box:

PAINT: Sketch, paint or design to your heart's content with a wild palette of
colors, patterns and special effects. The electronic coloring book lets you
bring black-and-white drawings to life. You can even use animated stamps to
liven up your masterpieces with motion!

MUSIC: Bring out the maestro in any budding Mozart with 27 musical
instruments, 18 rhythms and 7 tempos! Add wacky sound effects (including a zoo-
full of animal noises) to pre-written songs. Or compose your very own songs by
placing notes on the music staff.

GAMES: Choose from five captivating games of skill and action that will
sharpen both manual and mental acuity. Blast aliens in Space Cadet. Match
icons in Whereabouts. Run through mazes with Max & Maxine. Assemble pictures
in Sliding Puzzle. And dive into oceans of fun in Aquashark.

STYLE: In Mix N Match, combine, change and rearrange the heads, bodies and
legs of all sorts of different folks and critters in the most imaginative ways
possible. Then become a fashion designer when you choose clothes from a closet
full of outrageous wardrobes in Stylin' Stuff!

Alright, I'm back. Good stuff! Excellent graphics, great sound, and activities
and games are well-designed. And I think these guys had fun putting this one
together... ;) My only hangups on this one is that MUSIC section can be a
little faint during playback of songs, and the package itself could've used a
little more documentation. One other thing is that the GAMES section can get
pretty hard real quick -- some kind level play would've been nice. I'm going
to put a little added documentation down below for enlightenment and check out
the ώ INSTALLATION NOTES ώ section below for a few comments. See ya!

Oh, one more thing. Among other things, I couldn't get any bare-chested babes
to show up in the fashion doll activity, Stylin' Stuff (see Clothing Options
under Stylin' Stuff in the ώ ADDITIONAL DOCS ώ section below). Dammit, man!

God damn lawyers, I tell ya! What we're really trying to say is that we make
no claim or guarantee that this software has not been released before.
However, you will undoubtedly find that we package more information and offer
a higher degree of reliability than any other group in the scene. All of this
in one helluva tight package, too! And besides, consider what one of this
country's great founding fathers once stated:

      "All the world can puteth out a ware, but it does not do the common man
      a shiteth of good if he shall ne'er gaze upon them."

                                          Benjamin Franklin, 1787

Although "ware" took on a slightly different meaning back then... ;)

Everything is here but the intro, which was the BIG.WTV file that I zero-
byted. The SMALL.WTV file was the same thing with shoddier graphics. Don't ask
me what the fuck it was doing on the ROM; I had to rename it to BIG.WTV to
watch it! Oh, and the CD-ROM had some digital audio tracks, but you won't miss
it!

Ok, here's a few tidbits of additional information to help sort things out as
you play the game:


PAINT/PAINT JR.
In PAINT, you have a Major Icon Bar at top and a Minor Icon Bar at bottom. The
Minor Icons are options for Major Icons. There are eight Major Icons: Drawing
Tools, Stamps, Special FX, Coloring Book Scenes, Fill Can, Oh No, Trash Can,
Activities. If a spinwheel icon shows up along the Minor Icon Bar, then you
can click on it to scroll through more Minor Icons associated with the current
Major Icon. PAINT JR. is a less complicated version of PAINT for 3-5 year
olds. Read on...

1. Drawing Tools
Click on the crayon/pencil/brush icon. Lot's of stuff here. Not really enough
time here to explain their use but here's a list of each tool and it's
associated icon:

Tool                                Icon

Frames                              Frame (9 of them)

2. Stamps
Click on the rubber stamp icon. There are three kinds of stamps here and this
is controlled by another control icon along the left side of the Minor Icon
Bar. Kinda looks the lights from a three-colored Simon game, hehe. The upper
right one (pink) is for animated stamps, upper left (yellow) for jumbo stamps,
and the bottom one (blue) for mini stamps.

3. Special FX
Click on the FX icon. You can manipulate stamps with the FX icon. Again, I'll
simply list them here:

Tool                                Icon

4. Coloring Book Scenes
Click on the coloring book page icon. Use this Major Icon to bring in a
variety of ready-made scenes to color.

5. Fill Can
Click on the paint can icon. Use this Major Icon to fill in areas with solid
colors or patterns. You cannot fill over black lines from any pre-drawn
artwork such as Coloring Book Scenes and Stamps.

6. Oh No
Click on the OH NO icon. This will undo your last action.

7. Trash Can
Click on the trash can icon. This provides 10 wacky ways to clear your
picture.

8. Activities
Click on the opened door icon. Here are several shortcuts for jumping to other
parts of the program. Or, you can exit to the Main Menu.


MUSIC
Same kind of deal here, Major and Minor Icons. There are seven Major Icons:
Piano, Groove Disk, Jukebox, Instruments and Sounds, Pitch Picker, Trash
Can/Oh no!, and Exit. Read on...

1. Piano
Click on the piano icon. Click notes on the piano to have them entered on the
staff. Notice that you can also place notes directly on the staff with your
mouse, and you can put up to four notes in each chord (i.e, point in time, or
vertical along the staff).

2. Groove Disk
Click on the compact disc icon. Add pre-programmed drum rhythms to songs.
There are 18 to choose from. The next time you play the song, you will hear
the groove you selected. Note that you will never see notes on the staff
associated with grooves.

3. Jukebox
Click on the jukebox icon. Here there are 36 pre-programmed songs that you can
listen to or modify. Change them around by adding in sounds such as dog barks
or cat meows (see Instruments and Sounds below).

4. Instruments and Sounds
Click on the musical note icon. 27 instruments and 36 wacky sound effects to
choose from. Once you select one, you can place it in your song.

5. Pitch Picker
Click on the sharp note icon (kinda looks like a fence). This allows you to
change the pitch of a note. There are three settings: Natural, Flat, and
Sharp. Natural (fence) notes have no pitch changes; this is the regular
setting. Flat (b) notes sound lower than natural notes. Sharp (pound sign)
notes sound higher than natural notes.

6. Trash Can/Oh No!
Click on the trash can icon. This will erase your song and the trash can icon
will turn into an OH NO icon. If you change your mind, click on this.
Otherwise, as soon as you start entering notes for a new song, this icon will
revert to the trash can icon. Got it?

7. Exit.
Click on the EXIT icon to return to previous menu.


STYLE
Two funky activities for creating outrageous characters! The two activities
are Stylin' Stuff and Mix 'N Match. Read on...

1. ACTIVITY: Stylin' Stuff
Click on Stylin' Stuff. This is kind of like a computerized fashion doll game.
I'll describe the icons here, some of which may utilized both left and right
mouse buttons:

a. Solve
Click on the light bulb icon. This will automatically dress your doll for the
appropriate scene (see Scene Globe below). I suppose, for a challenge, your
child could attempt to correctly clothe his/her fashion doll for the current
background scene. Clicking this icon would present the "solution".

b. Clothing Options
Click on hair, hat, tops, bottoms, accessories, or shoes icon. Use these icons
to fashion your doll. Remember, there is a "blank option" for each icon. So if
you want a bald fashion model, cycle through all the choices until you don't
see any hair. Now, can someone please tell me why in the fuck this doesn't
seem to work for tops and bottoms? Dammit, man!

c. Exit
Click on the EXIT icon to return to the previous menu.

d. Boy/Girl Button
Click on the paper doll icon. Now you can dress up a doll of the opposite
gender.

e. Skin Tone Button
Click on the doll head icon. Use this icon to do just what it implies: change
the fashion doll's skin color.

f. Scene Globe
Click on the planet Earth icon. Use this icon alter the current background
scene for your fashion doll.

2. ACTIVITY: Mix 'N Match
Click on Mix 'N Match. Create wacky characters. This one's pretty self-
explanatory. This activity also has a "Solve" icon, and it's solution will be
based on the current head of your character.

Remember, you can import into PAINT either of the two figures you last created
in Stylin' Stuff or Mix 'N Match. Look at the first two Minor Icons under
Major Icon Special FX in PAINT.


GAMES
Three arcade action games and two skill games to keep you busy for hours.
Again, these are all pretty much self-explanatory. F1 help may be available on
some of them.

Whew!

ProAudio Spectrum -- had to use Sound Blaster. And, the game WILL run in a
Windows 95 DOS box. For additional help, contact GT Interactive Software
