A game which was advertised by The Learning Company in the manual for Bumble Plot, which was released.
Described as “In the electronic version of a classic 14th century game of chance, children learn to add and subtract and also develop abstract reasoning and strategic thinking skills. Ages 6-10.”
This educational game seems to be missing – but was it ever actually released, or did The Learning Company go under before it could make it?
Thanks to Anonymous Contributor, we learn that the game was advertised in Family Computing issue 16 in 1984, twice – and only mentioning Apple and IBM versions. The Apple version was released too. As a result, it could be that a C64 version was never on the cards – the original advert found may have just been a general advert for the game.
Could be a case closed very soon for this one!
