Each of the 40 games include state-of-the-art animation and vivid color illustrations that keep kids captivated for hours while other cognitive elements help develop listening and memory skills. With variable difficulty levels and multiple games, this package offers children a fun new experience each time they sit down to play.

Fractured Fairy Tales®: The Frog Prince follows the trials and tribulations of an unfortunate amphibian who has been turned into a handsome prince by a meddling witch. Before he can return to his (water lily) pad, the prince must track down the witch and have her reverse the magic spell. Based on the classic Rocky® and Bullwinkle® & Friends® cartoon series from Jay Ward Productions, this hilarious education/adventure title includes cameo appearances by the world's most famous moose and squirrel team and several of their friends.

Both titles are published by Trampoline, a SegaSoft brand of education and entertainment software for children ages pre-school to 12.(NAPSI)
