Hey so I mounted the mdf. Any help would be awesome! Help 1 point. Help please. I have it mounted, but now what? It says "this app can't run on your PC" when I try to run the setup.
Next you're on the trip of your life traveling in three dimensions through Arnold's body With twelve body parts to explore, 12 science experiments, 12 games, and dozens of fact sheets and reports, this is a learning experience the traveler will enjoy immensely. The wild and wacky animations are superb. The young user although fully involved and immersed will never feel insecure as "Liz" an adorable animated lizard sits somewhere at the edge of the screen and just has to be clicked on for help.
The Body Map kept in the glove compartment informs the user what body parts they have discovered, so they can see which parts they need to visit in order to escape from Arnold's innards. Morphing the bus and the splat pages are enthralling, body parts float around and when clicked onto the splat page made various splatters, each with it's own gurgling squelching noise. The arcade style games available at each major organ will spur the interest of most young users. This game is aimed at the age group, however I felt that the younger child would need substantial parental help, whilst children of a few years older than 10 would find this game fascinating, even though they would progress through the adventure much quicker.
Some of the games are surprisingly challenging, considering they were developed for children. Any adult could actually have a whale of a time when attempting to perfectly land an upright school bus on Mars.
Not so much when you are just hopping between space holiday snaps, maybe. As a wholesome game, however, The Magic School Bus actually stands up. Any learning medium that this game tries on seems to be completely redundant. Apart from the cognitive skills - the game teaches and the giggles it delivers when you travel to Uranus, you get the feeling you haven't learned a whole lot. That's perfectly OK, though. The Magic School Bus' difficulty curve actually makes for a fun game to play.
It's a game that simply forces its players to use their intuition and skill to beat each of its oddly similar missions. This was the early 90s - no hand-holding or tutorials here. You were simply expected to be seasoned in classic arcade games like Space Invaders or Outrun.
There is nothing remarkably different or unique about gameplay and by no means revolutionary. The wholesomeness of the game's theme and the nostalgia of mechanics deliver an experience that you can easily invest hours into. The game is well-made and polished, with nothing overly frustrating about it besides some of the more tedious mini-games presented to you. Why not dive back into The Magic School Bus and its first-ever game in the franchise?
It certainly sets the tone for future games, and the nostalgia of early Saturday television will hit you in waves.
