Thomas and
Friends CD ROMs
2005 Marks the 60th Anniversary of the
Thomas & Friends Brand. Mindscape UK Ltd is
pleased to announce the release of four re-published Thomas & Friends CD-ROMs to
celebrate this. With an RRP of £9.99 each and many activities featuring
favourite characters on each, The Great Festival Adventure, Thomas Saves the
Day, Building the new Line and Trouble on the Tracks, are sure to be
a hit with children and parents alike!

Kids and Parents can work together in these four previously
successful educational CD-ROMs. They encourage learning and development in 4-6
year olds through stories and interactive activities, with the all-time
favourite characters and locations from the Thomas & Friends series. These fun
packages will amuse and challenge first time PC users, as they learn mouse
control, hand to eye coordination as well as other PC skills (clicking, moving,
cause-and-effect of onscreen activities). Rich 3-D animated graphics and
printable certificates of completion through varying difficulty levels are
designed to keep little Thomas fans interested.
It’s classic pre-school play, perfect for young Thomas
fans! Kids will love helping Thomas and his friends get ready for the big
festival on the Island of Sodor in The Great Festival Adventure, then
helping Thomas, James, Edward or Percy lay down new tracks to keep things
running smoothly in Building the New Line. Trouble on the Tracks
contains activities, with three levels, and clickable surprises interspersed
throughout each activity. There’s lots to see, and plenty to do, at every stop
in Thomas Saves the Day, including colour matching, shape sorting and
counting.
Features:
- Rich 3-D Graphics and animations
- Favourite characters and locations
- Certificates of completion for each activity
- Specially created video footage featuring Thomas and his
friends
All four CD-ROMs are now available to purchase from
www.mindscape.co.uk. Don’t forget to look out for our other great childrens’
CD-ROMs, including our Garfield, Disney and Noddy titles. And keep a watch for
two brand new Thomas & Friends titles due out around Christmas!
