Reader Rabbit 1

[OPL3music]

Whooaaaa reader rabbit looks scary in this version!! XD

[freepepsicola]

I remember playing the Windows version of this, good times! I was always rubbish at the word train game.

[jordanwarvideos]

I LOVED this game as a kid! Thank you!

[moccalou]

Oh my God... I played this in 1993 when I was 6... how the hell did you get a screen capture program to work on a computer that would play this game?

[BankaiIchigo12345]

@moccalou

DOSbox

Google it.

[Robloxgirl11]

@carebearnmbr46 Same! :D

[Strasburg1991]

@carebearnmbr46 i couldnt agree with you more

[MettaFTW]

SUCH MEMORIES!!! ^___^ I remember playing this on the old chunky 1993 type computer... XD I hated the train game lol..

Hey, can anybody help me figure this out? There was another spelling/reading game I played around that time.. It was a brother and sister who went through levels (some including a desert, a front yard, and a factory) picking up letters.. I remember the girl had black hair and the boy was blonde.. It seems like she wore a red dress, and he wore a white shirt and jeans.. Ideas?

[BankaiIchigo12345]

Now if any bonafide computer hackers are reading this post, please lend me your services in hacking the RR images. The letters are stored in the RRSHAPES.REL (as determined by systematically corrupting various graphics files and see which graphics got messed up).

If you are interested in helping me, send me a message in the Youtube message system.

Thanks in advance.

It would be easier if I knew the exact way the RLE data is stored. RLE compressed BMP, TGA, PCX, etc each have there own RLE compression method, and it is likely that The Learning Comapany developed there own RLE compression, so just taking the RLE compressed data and sticking a BMP, TGA, or PCX header on it is NOT likely to make it able to be loaded in graphics software. Even more, it seems to have it's own header and footer (I compared a couple similar RR files in a hex editor for similarity).

[BankaiIchigo12345]

I know my neigbor's son, who's 3 and doesn't know his lowercase alphabet yet. But RR is all in lowercase. I downloaded a copy of RR and DosBox but there's no way to make it uppercase unless, I can edit the graphics files that have the letters' shappes stored. I quickly loaded one of the files into Gimp in raw image data mode, but it appears to be RLE compressed, and from a couple other test I did it seems to be 1 bit per pixel, which will make editing it VERY hard.

man, i played this on a black-and-white terminal. those were the days!!!

[MrMikeyboy1002]

Kind of amazing Kevin O'Leary sold this to Mattel for 3.7 billion dollars.

[Ashloup]

Thanks for teaching me how to read, reader rabbit!! <3

[VollendJatara9Jenny]

I think I have the Windows 3.1 version (we ran it on windows 95... think it was released in 94)... I know it's this program... just a slightly younger one. Sound & graphics are a tad more advanced in the version I have. :D My first PC game. :) Good times ... Goodtimes.

[hunterhalo2]

WOW. I remember this from when I was 4 years old! I remember my dad teaching me DOS commands and how to use the 5 1/4 floppy... hahaha. Thanks, made my new years.

[chattychar]

had the 1986 version of "math rabbit" and this one. except it wasn't in color. it was in black and green. the computer was an at&t 6300 computer.

[jalenrose]

Reader Rabbit is a faggot

[llcdrdndgrbd]

Question: if you don't know how to read yet, how can you POSSIBLY read those instructions? :D

[tunalik]

@llcdrdndgrbd

I assume my mother explained and helped me with it. These games helped me learn to read way before other kids my age. I remember it being fun.

[Halo44327]

@sweetieJB520 You think you got it bad. I'm in my 20s and yeeeah. I still watch Teddy Ruxpin episodes. I also play a few childhood games too. :P

[SluGGz24]

@sweetieJB520 holy crap that IS old I use to play rabbit on a mac back in the day and i thot that was old looking. this is like nes graphics lol.

[samanthasue]

My childhood. I remember having being 5 and trying to remember the boot command to type in DOS so I could run my cd games at home.

[hunterhalo2]

@samanthasue HAHA ME TOO!

[Halo44327]

Oh god. I remember this game. Even though I was born in 1991 this was still a popular game. My whole school had this. Ah fond memories. I miss Reader Rabbit. I heard the series had ended way back in 2003 or something like that.

[Halo44327]

@Halo44327 Also....this game had those seizure dances. Like the (real-kind of) rabbit that has the seizure bounce when high. And Reader Rabbit doing the Russian dance.

[freepepsicola]

Had this for but Windows when I was little! Loved it!

[disneyfan85]

I used to have this game! I remember when it was loading, it would say "Hopping to it." And I liked that dance that the rabbit did in the sorter game, too.

[AAMLfan]

Played this when I was small, way back in the early 90s. Incredible how much games have changed in less than 20 years...

[1989gamemaster]

Damn, I forgot about this game. I played it at Elementary School. Ah, the memories. <)

[mhmrules]

DOOD! My old school had the Apple version of this along with the Apple II, and I was playing it in 1996/97!

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Wow, how retro is this!!

[DottyDotDitto]

=D !!!
