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

[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.

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

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?

@carebearnmbr46 Same! :D

[Strasburg1991]

@carebearnmbr46 i couldnt agree with you more

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?

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).
