Superb! If you have children that are learning the
alphabet or will be shortly this is an absolute must. Join Max as he
introduces you to the alphabet and tests your knowledge and
understanding. Max is a cute, loveable ball on legs, a bit like an
orange, with huge blue eyes, a couple of antennae and a great
personality. The kids will love him (and you will too!). Max will come
on stage to introduce you to the game which consists of four sections of
increasing difficulty. In the first Max will bring on each of the
letters of the alphabet in order and act out something to illustrate
them. He might dance, jump, close his eyes, wiggle his antenna or lots
of other things, each a joy to watch. In the next stage a copy of the
keyboard is shown and you have to match the letters on screen as Max
acts out a word. Next you have to find the letter yourself, no help this
time. Max will come on, pick a letter at random to bring on stage and
you have to match it on the keyboard. Finally comes the really hard one
as Max comes on to act out a word but doesn't give you any clue as to
the letter. You have to decide what Max is doing and choose the right
letter. This program is so cleverly designed and perfectly balanced that
children of alphabet learning age, and those much younger, will love it
for a long, long time. This is, without doubt, the best educational
program of its type ever on the Atari. Forget all the commercial
programs of long ago, Max is just the most loveable character ever to
appear on your Atari. The best educational program of all, bar none!
