Story
Hi! I am Rascal the Raccoon. I need your help. Can you get me to the places I have to get to? It really isn't so hard. All you have to do is follow the right letters of the alphabet. If you can do that, then I can get home. I never learned my alphabet (raccoons don't have to go to school), so I need your help. Just follow the right order of letters, and I'll be home in time for supper. Thanks.
Instructions
This game will help your child to learn the alphabet. Rascal the Raccoon starts the adventure in his neighborhood. By following the correct order of letters (A to B to C, etc.), you will find the happy star that takes you to the next level.
Each level has five to six of the letters of the alphabet. When the right letter is the path taken, the chimes will sound. When the wrong letter is chosen, the other sound is heard, and the path turns into a dead end.
Controlling Rascal is done by using the appropriate arrow key or joystick.
Each section of the game is in a different area: Rascal's Neighborhood, the Forest, the Carnival, etc., and each area has items and people that are representative of the letters of that area, to help teach the the children the letters.
Please note this is the shareware version of the game. The shareware version only goes up to the letter "J". The registered version has the whole complete alphabet.
