Word Rescue and Math Rescue


Both are Apogee's only edutainment titles and are one of the last of the old style of educational titles. put out in 1992 and built with the same engine that powered the Duke Nukem games. The plot centers around the Gruzzles witch steal either all of the numbers or words. In Word Rescue you match words to pictures by jumping over rectangles along the level witch plays like any other platformer to exit each level you must correctly match all words to complete the key to the exit. the game keeps a non violent feel by haveing you slime the guzzles makeing them go away instead of killing them.
Math Rescue plays much the same way you have to collect numbers and solve math problems to exit the level. Both alow you to play either as a boy or girl. both also split episodes in classic apogee fashion as seperate exe files. The low system requirements make it a exclent game to install on to an older computer to kive to a young child. the shareware episodes can be downloaded here
