8-2. JumpStart 2nd Grade Classic Version - Welcome to the JumpStart Pen Pal Club!

The game takes place in a school setting, but begins after school hours when a giant anthropomorphic frog named CJ enters the classroom and frees a firefly named Edison. CJ and Edison form a double act of sorts with CJ being an ardent, self-styled "adventurer" while Edison is the more pragmatic straight man, who frequently makes sardonic comments in response to C.J.'s grandiosity.

CJ and Edison lead the user into a secret elevator hidden behind a bookcase. This elevator leads to several different floors, most of which are caverns beneath the school. The clubhouse and the classroom levels are the only ones to contain more than one activity.

The Pen Pals deliver mail and stamps around the United States. When the stamp is gone, it fills in a new state. The whole United States will be filled up. The map of the United States shows that there are 50. Click on a state to see the letter and it will flip.

Each activity has three difficulty levels: Scout (level 1), Explorer (level 2), and Trailblazer (level 3).

8-2. JumpStart 2nd Grade Classic Version - Secret Clubhouse

The clubhouse is apparently C.J. and Edison's headquarters and is located directly above the classroom. Activities include:
The jukebox = Players insert different coins and bills of U.S. currency into the jukebox to hear music.

A computer = A simple computer used to type. It is not required to win the game.
A tree branch = A tree branch leads to a game of Concentration in the fruit tree outside. (The kind of fruit the tree has changes from game to game. The exterior shot of the school from the beginning of the program shows apples, but the view of the tree from inside the clubhouse shows oranges.)

The lookout = The user uses a clue to determine which planet in the Solar System is being "invaded" by malevolent robotic aliens. After the user selects the correct planet, C.J. and Edison fly there in a rocket and the user then has to play an arcade-styled game to save the planet which includes Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto. (The aliens never invade Earth.)

The fish tank = The user must find which numbers and words fit into a specific category.

A post office has stamps to win 100 points.

There's 2 modes in JumpStart 2nd Grade:
Stamps Mode & Adventure Mode

In Stamps Mode, you can earn Stamps by playing games & earn points doing so. Every 100 Points gets you a new stamp which you can use in the Adventure Mode. Try to collect them all!

After you collect some Stamps, you can play the Adventure Mode. In Adventure Mode, your Pen Pals will send you letters from their home state. Each of their letters contain different tasks to complete. Once you solve them, you'll get postcards from their home state! Your progress is shown in the Map of the United States, can you solve all 50 challenges?

8-3. JumpStart 2nd Grade Classic Version - Classroom Activities

The classroom includes:
a painting activity (paint set) that includes two famous paintings to fill in as well as a sticker book to create a scene, the paint tubes has paint globs to change the colors and an eraser to undo;

Bone Vault = Here, the user solves math and spelling problems to open the mysterious Bone Vault, which, predictably, turns out to be filled with bones. Inside the vault are various objects the user can measure with, by means of a scale and a ruler.

Cave Writings = In this activity, players decode meaningless messages written in American Sign Language, Braille and "Larvaic" ("language of the larva") using a key. Before the game can be played, however, the user must get past a giant Blues-playing caterpillar by answering a biology question.

Cricket Band = In this game, the user creates music with a band of crickets who jump up and down on piano keys.

Log Ride = The user solves math or spelling problems to help 5 gophers make it across a subterranean river so they can guide C.J. and Edison through their tunnels. After the game is completed, C.J. and Edison are taken to a cave filled with traffic signs. There, C.J. and Edison explain the meaning of whichever signs the user clicks on.

Ice Cave = The user answers addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems to freeze ice bugs so that they will fill a sixteen unit grid. After the user completes the grid, the ice floor breaks which leads to an old pirate ship that is frozen in the ice. There the user will find a map with all seven continents on it. When clicking on a continent, C.J. will inform the user about an interesting fact regarding it. Also, on a pen pal challenge, the user has to pick the correct continent to complete the challenge.

Polly wants to alter history so her ridiculously wrong pop quiz answers become reality. Luckily, her father is a world famous inventor. Now Polly's taken over his laboratory and programmed 25 robots to go back in time.

If she has her way, the whole world as we know it will be turned upside down! You've got to stop her! One of the remaining robots, Botley, is your guide on this jam-packed adventure. Can you and Botley sneak into Polly's mysterious Mountain Mansion and stop each time-tinkering robot before it can do Polly's bidding? Watch out. Not all of Polly's robots went back in time. Many have remained, and Polly's programmed some of them to annoy you at every turn.




But first you must Sign-In before you can save the world. Sign up for your adventure at the schoolhouse by Clicking on the School's Front Door.

To Sign In:
Use the keyboard to type your name. Type up to 10 letters.

To enter the JumpStart 3rd Grade Schoolhouse, click on the Enter button or press ENTER on the keyboard.

After you sign in for the first time, your name will appear on the list every time you enter JumpStart 3rd Grade.

To find your name, you may have to scroll up and down by clicking on the arrows next to the list. Then, click on your name and press the Enter button.

To delete your name, click on it and press ALT-Delete or ALT-D twice for Windows
(Command-D twice or Command-Del twice for the Macintosh).



After you sign in, you'll find yourself in the classroom. Just a typical day in a typical 3rd grade classroom, right? Well, yesterday was. Today? Uh, you'll see. Pick up the little computer-looking thing on one of the desks. It's called the TransQuizzer & for now, it's all you'll need to get started. Your teacher, Ms. Winkle, hasn't arrived yet. And that fellow who's come crashing through the window? That's Botley, a robot created by Polly's father, Professor Spark, to watch over Polly while he's gone to another one of his Famous Inventors conventions. Botley was created by Professor Spark to keep an eye on Polly when he's away, so he knows the territory and wants to protect Polly, and the world by foiling her plans. He's a good guy to have at your side, and right now, he needs your help. If you're up for the adventure, follow Botley to the entrance of Polly's Mountain Mansion. If not, click the Exit button to leave the game.

NOTE: If you prefer to skip the Prolouge, you can press ESC to skip ahead to the first QuizDisk. But if you want to get the Max Score for this game on the 3 Difficulty Levels, you'll need to play the prolouge.

9-4. JumpStart 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - Starting a Mission

Polly sent 25 robots back in time. You've got to capture each one. That's 25 missions. To capture each robot, you'll need to find the 4 hidden Mission Clues & earn Invention Points. Here's how you start:

Locate a Quiz Disk and insert it into your TransQuizzer.

Select a question on the TransQuizzer by clicking one of the Question buttons. (Doesn't matter which order you do them in.)

Press the Yellow Play button to hear the question.

Listen to the question. It's the first clue of your mission and will give you some idea about when and where in history Polly has sent back one of her father's robots. If it's the mission you want to start, click the Inventory button on your Utility Belt to put away the TransQuizzer. When you do, Polly will tell you about the robot she sent back, and which four Mission Clues you'll need to collect to rescue the robot.

Following Botley's directions, you'll then need to figure out where Polly hid the Mission Clues you need. It might not be so simple retrieving them though, because Polly's hidden them all in games and challenges and it's up to you to win them back. Each of the Clues are Randomized on Each Floor:
2 on 1st/2nd/3rd Floor
1 on the 1st/2nd/3rd Floor
None on the 1st/2nd/Floor (Ex. If there's 2 on the 1st & 2nd Floors, the 3rd Floor won't have any.)

Along the way, as you play games, you'll collect Invention Points. You'll need them to complete your mission. In Version 1.0, you'll need 1000 Points on the QuizDisk 1 and it increases by 500 Points for each new QuizDisk along with the Game Difficulty. On Version 1.1 & better, you'll only need 1000 Points for each QuizDisk.

9-5. JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - 1st Floor

When you enter the first floor of the Mountain Mansion, here's what you'll find:

1. The Robot Kitchen.
2. The Professor's Art Gallery.
3. The Jumbo Electro Generator.
4. The stairway to the 2nd Floor.
5. The Music Hall.

NOTE: The Front Door may be accessed by clicking in the lower right corner of the screen on the first floor.

9-6. JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - Kitchen

Where do hungry robots go? To the kitchen, of course. To get here, look for the door on the first floor of the Mountain Mansion. Here you might uncover a Mission Clue or a chance to earn Invention Points. You'll also find a very hungry robot named Mort, just waiting for you to feed him.



The Kitchen Door's locked. So you'll need to figure out the combinations. That will require some math: addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

Solve the problems by entering the correct numbers at the bottom of each equation.

Click on the arrows above or below each box to spin the numbers. Each time you click the Up Arrow, the number will increase by one. Each time you click the Down Arrow, the number will decrease by one.

To make the numbers spin faster, hold down the mouse button.
When you see the number you want, click on the glowing red button.
You can also try entering numbers from the keyboard.

DELETED SCENE: Mort lampshades that he knows alot about of math to help the player out and explains the measurement system when you click on them at the Robot Feeder before turning it on. This scene was in the Initial version 1.0 release but not in the later releases.


Mort's not shy. He'll tell you just what he likes to eat. And the Professor's got lots of cool ways to measure the ingredients. You'll have to be quick though.

Click the Feeding Lever on the Robot Feeder to begin.
To measure the toppings, click on one of the instruments along the back wall, then click on one of the toppings moving along the conveyor belt.

To add the measured ingredient, click on the bowl.

If you put in the wrong amount (such as too much), empty the bowl by clicking on the Feeding Lever and the topping will be removed from the dish. In Version 1.0, Mort states that if too much or too little is in his bowl, he may get an upset stomach.

Make sure you don't add anything Mort doesn't want, because then you'll have to start over on Levels 2-3.

When you think you've got the recipe correct, let the bowl run right into Mort's mouth.

In Version 1.0, when you have all the correct toppings & stop the feeder, Botley will inform you that you're not finished yet. This was fixed in later versions.

9-7. JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - Art Gallery

Every mansion needs an art gallery, some place to store those 3D art treasures, entrancing sculptures, Invention Points, maybe a hidden Mission Clue or two, oh, and Mrs. Beasley, of course. She's the resident art expert. Look for the entrance to the Professor's Art Gallery on the first floor of the Mountain Mansion.


= Virtual Collection

If you want to view any of the art in the Professor's collection, you'll first have to get by Polly each time you click on the Virtual Collection, she'll give you a clue related to one of the Professor's works of art. She's hidden either a Mission Clue or some of those precious Invention Points there, and it's your challenge to find them!

Use Polly's clue and Mrs. Beasley's hints to select the right category of art from the rotating drum.
To change the category, click on the lever.
Click once on the tiny picture to learn more about that particular piece of art.
Click on the tiny picture again to display the art inside the Virtual Viewer.
If Polly's hidden a Mission Clue or Invention Points in the artwork, she'll scramble it into a puzzle.

Put the pieces in the right order. Click on any puzzle piece to lift it off the display, then click on another piece to switch them.

To turn a piece right-side-up, click the Rotate button or press the spacebar on your keyboard.


= Painting Gallery


Create your own paintings to hang in the gallery! The Professor's got all the latest drawing tools, animated stickers, even glowing paint! Since Polly's in charge here, when you enter the Painting Gallery, she'll demand that you illustrate a story she's written. Please her lopsided sensibility, and she'll give you a Mission Clue or Invention Points.

Click on an empty frame to begin a new painting.
To finish a painting you began earlier, just click on it.
If you've filled up the gallery, click on any painting and erase it.


When you are close to the canvas, you can:
Choose any tool by clicking on it.
Choose colors from the bottom of the frame.

Click on the Background button and add your own touches to one of the Professor's own paintings.

Click on the Sticker button to add stickers to your painting. Some of them even animate! Just select an animated sticker from the sticker menu, hold down the mouse button while you drag the sticker around your painting, then release the button and watch it move!

Add sound or music to your artwork by clicking the Sound button.
Click on the New button to start over with a fresh canvas.
Print your work by clicking on the Print button.

Save your picture and hang it in the gallery by clicking on the Back button on the Utility Belt and saving your work. You can save up to eight pictures.

Dopefish Lives!

9-8. JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - Generator Room

The machines and devices you'll use in the Mountain run on electricity. To play them, you'll have to supply the power. To get the energy points you need, you'll sometimes have to return to the Professor's generator. To get here, take the stairway down from the first floor.

NOTE: When entering the Generator Room for the first time, use the Valve Door on the Right, it has an Atomic Icon.



The generator runs on batteries, and only you have the "power" to put the batteries in the right combination! But you'll have to work fast, before the batteries lose their spark. Botley Lampshades that these aren't the kind of flashlight batteries at home.

Each monitor displays a specific battery requirement.
Find two batteries that, when combined in the required math operation, equal the number on the monitors.

Click on a battery and drag it to one of the magnets sitting on top of the generator.
When you get all the batteries in place, your energy level will increase to 100% (and your Energy Indicator turns back to its Clear White Color).

Now you have the power to run the machines and complete your mission! Come back here when you start to run out again.

NOTE: In earlier Versions of JumpStart 3rd Grade, there was no Music for the Generator Room but in Version 1.2 and later, there's 2 Music Tracks for the Generator Room.

9-9. JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - Music Hall

Polly wants to hear music, and she wants it now! If you can play what she wants to hear, she just might give you the Mission Clue you've been looking for. That doesn't sound too difficult, does it? Look for the door to the Music Hall on the first floor of the Mountain Mansion.

Is the door to the Music Hall locked? You'll have to decode the secret password by unscrambling words.

Click on a letter on the top row of buttons, then click on the button on the bottom row where you want to place it.

Click on the button next to each scrambled word for a hint. Bothoven, the door-knocker robot, will help you along the way.

Each word you unscramble on the left side of the door will win you letters of the password on the right side. Once you have all the letters, unscramble the password and the door will open.

HINT: The password is related to the words you've already unscrambled.
1. Rain, Wind, Sleet, Heat = Weather
2. Nose, Eyes, Head, Elbow = Body
3. Land, Ocean, Dessert, Water = World
4. Dollar, Nickel, Penny, Dime = Money
5. Father, Mother, Child, Baby = Family
6. Red, Brown, Yellow, Black = Color
7. Park, Lake, City, State = Places
8. Draw, Color, Story, Funny = Cartoon
9. Truck, Yoyo, Skate, Doll = Toys
10. Lake, Tree, Pond, Grass = Park
11. Read, Write, Stamp, Mail = Letter



Now that you've made it inside the Music Hall, it looks like something's wrong with the organ. All the music is scrambled, and Polly wants to hear something; fast! Maestro, the Professor's personal robot conductor, might help.

Maestro will play the piece that Polly wants to hear, all the way through. Click on him to hear it again.

Click on the button next to each Music Chip to hear the music programmed in that chip.
Click on Maestro to hear the piece again, then click and drag the chips into the right order.

When you arrange the Music Chips in the right order, you'll earn Invention Points, and maybe even one of those Mission Clues you've been looking for!

Unused Music:
The MODULE.INI file details all the possible puzzles that can be found in each of the games. In the music hall section, three entries are skipped over -- #6, #13, and #16. The first two still have their staves left over in the game, but no associated music files to actually hear them. Even though the last one has the timing data written in the INI file, it is missing its staves, so attempting to add it back in the game crashes it

#6, is the Bridal Chorus is not actually in the game & The other one, #13, is Mendelssohn's Wedding March are cut.

9-10. JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - 2nd Floor

When you get to the Mountain Mansion's second floor landing (by taking the stairway from the first floor), here's what you'll find:

1. The door to the Biosphere.
2. The door to the Professor's Shrinking Room.
3. A precarious tram to take you up to the third floor.
4. Stairs to take you back to the first floor.

9-11. JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - The Shrink-O-Matic

It seems that Polly's hidden some Mission Clues and Invention Points inside her father's scientific specimens. When you enter the Shrinking Room from the second floor of the Mountain Mansion, Polly will give you a clue that can help you identify the right specimen. There's also Egbert the resident egghead to help you. He knows just about everything about anything in this room and will tell you if you just ask!


=Analyzer
To begin your work in the Shrinking Room, click on the Analyzer in Egbert's hand.
To find out about any specimen in the specimen case, click on it.

When you think you've got the specimen you want, hand the analyzer back to Egbert.
He's kind of a neat freak.

Now move the specimen to the platform in front of the Shrink-O-Matic.

Click on the microscope to shrink Botley and get him ready for his fantastic voyage inside the specimen.

Pro Tip: Make sure you examine each specimen until you find the one that matches the hint you're given. To hear the hint again, just click on Botley.

=Fantastic Voyager
Now that you've miniaturized Botley in the Shrink-O-Matic, the real fun begins! You're peering down to the molecular level of the specimen now. You've got to break away the molecules to find the object. And a shrunken Botley is your tool in a Breakout-like Minigame. But be careful, you only have a limited amount of lives to get through.

Click your mouse to launch Botley. Use your mouse to move the electromagnet back and forth. You've got to aim Botley so he breaks away all the round molecules and reveals Polly's hidden Mission Clue or Invention Points. After you've released the prize, click on it. You can now store it in your Inventory.

HINT: On the Higher Difficulty Levels, you'll have less lives and a faster game speed to complete the Fantastic Voyager. Make sure you have good reflexes! Some Color Molecules take more than one hit to break.

Difficulty Levels:
Level 1 = 10 Lives, Slow Speed
Level 2 = 9 Lives, Medium Speed
Level 3 = 8 Lives, Fast Speed

Molecules:
Color = Breakable in 1 hit
Solid Color = Breakable in 2 Hits
Black Molecules (Starts Appearing in Stage 2 & Onward) = Indestructable
Teleporter Sprials = Teleports Botley from one area of the Specimen to another
Switch = Hit this to have an effect on the Black Molcecules. You might go right through them.

Core Molecule = Break this to complete the Stage or Collect the Mission Clue/Invention Points if you choose the Right Specimen.

9-12. JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - BioSphere

The Professor's Biosphere is a grand, growing maze of plants and animals in 5 different environments: the Desert, the tropical Rainforest, the Mountains, the Grasslands, or the Ocean. You'll find the door to the Biosphere on the second floor of the Mountain Mansion. This is just the place for Polly to hide Mission Clues and Invention Points. You've got to check this out. But you can't just walk around in there. You need to use a Biosphere Explorer.


To launch a Biosphere Explorer, click on the Launch button in front of the Biosphere Viewer under the window to the Biosphere. Then the monitor to begin.




Unfortunately for you or fortunately, depending on how much you like challenges, your Biosphere Explorer emerges way beneath the Biosphere, in a giant underground maze. To get to the top, you'll have to fly the explorer through narrow passages and avoid dead ends. Also, Polly is up to her old tricks, and sometimes she'll interrupt your trip and ask you a question. Listen carefully and answer correctly, because each answer will lead you closer to where a Mission Clue or Invention Points are hidden!

Maneuver through the maze using the arrow keys on your keyboard. The Up Arrow blasts the explorer's thrusters, while the Left and Right Arrows rotate the explorer. But be careful, on Higher Levels, the explorer's speed gets faster.

Difficulty Levels:
Level 1 = Slow Speed
Level 2 = Medium Speed
Level 3 = Fast Speed

Be on the look-out for twinkling Force Shields, located throughout the maze. Fly over them to pick them up, because they'll help keep the explorer in one piece if you happen to crash into a wall!

When you enter an airlock, Polly will appear to ask you a question. Answer correctly and she'll give you a hint and let you pass through the airlock.

Use Polly's hints to select the right environment and land on the designated landing pad. You can use the spacebar to launch a probe in an environment to see what you can match, it'll light up yellow once it matches but use them wisely as you only have 15 of them per Explorer!

Click on the key on your console to open Polly's hiding place and see what's there! When you start your trip, you'll have two keys to unlock the Mission Clue or Invention Points that Polly has hidden inside the Biosphere. Use them carefuly! You only get 2 keys per BioSphere Explorer!

If you run out of keys before selecting the correct site, you'll have to go back to the Launching Pad to select another explorer.

9-13. JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - 3rd Floor

When you get to the Mountain Mansion's third floor landing (by taking the tram up from the second floor), here's what you'll find:

1. The Observatory.
2. A passageway to Time Machine Mission Control.
3. The Robot Obstacle Course.
4. From the third floor, you can take the tram back down to the second floor.

DELETED SCENE: Botley Lampshades that Polly once used the Observatory to spy on the neighbors & he went through the Robot Maze himeslf before.

9-14. JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - Observatory

When Polly hid the Mission Clues, she didn't run out of space, she ran into outer space! That's right. Polly blasted some Mission Clues and Invention Points into the heart of several constellations. There is a hint, but Polly's transmitted it as a radio wave and sent it heading straight into a black hole. You've got your work cut out for you, here. You'll find the observatory on the third floor of the Mountain Mansion.



= Black Hole Blaster
Now that you're in the Observatory, you can use one of the Professor's deep space probes to shoot at the radio waves and knock them out of the black hole.

Warning: Asteroids and comets are common in this area of the universe!

To start, click on the Telescope.
To spin your probe, use the arrow keys on your keyboard.
To shoot, hit the space bar on your keyboard or click the Shoot button on the Utility Belt.
Destroy the asteroids before they hit you. Get hit too many times and your spaceship is history. Asteroids will appear more in Level 2.

Of course comets are too big to destroy so easily, but if you turn the probe's back to it, you just might deflect it without sustaining too much damage which start appearing on Level 3.

If your probe is destroyed, another will replace it; until you run out. You only have 4 Space Probes, so be carfeul!

When you've collected all the radio waves, you're ready to unscramble the clues in the Alien Signal Decoder. 4 on Easy and 6 for Normal to Hard.



= The Alien Signal Decoder
Professor Spark loves to search the sky for signs of life in outer space, and just in case he finds it, he's built this Alien Signal Decoder to help him communicate. Luckily, it will also help you decode the scrambled radio waves of Polly's hint that you blasted out of the black hole and put the words into the right order.

Click on a piece of Polly's hint. Drag it to any other part of the unscrambling window.
Click again to release the piece.

In Level 3, the hint will include words you don't need.

Click on the word or set of words you don't want and move it to the Space Disposal Unit located on the right side of the Decoder.

When you've unscrambled the hint, you're ready to identify the constellation.



= Star Chart

Once you've unscrambled Polly's hint using the Alien Signal Decoder, move on to the Professor's star chart to locate the correct constellation.

Click on the round star chart on the left side of the Observatory.

To change the star chart display from the northern to the southern hemisphere, click on the Globe.

Move your pointer over the stars to see the lines of different constellations appear.
Click on any constellation to hear something about it.

When you think you've identified the constellation where Polly sent her father's spaceship, click on it.

If you're right, the space ship will come zooming back to the Observatory and its robot pilot will present you with the Mission Clue or Invention Points.

9-15. JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - Robot Maze

Now you've entered the most dangerous part of the mountain. You'll find the Robot Obstacle Course on the third floor of the Mountain Mansion. It's not safe for humans to enter, but one robot can. His name's Buster, and he's a bit of a stone face. Unfortunately, Polly programmed Buster to leave a box filled with a Mission Clue or Invention Points in the maze, then she scrambled the program to make it difficult on you and Botley. Luckily, Buster will follow every one of your commands, too. So it's up to you to reassemble the program using the Remote Programmer:

To move a command, click on it and drag it to where you want it to go.

To test your program, press the Run button at the bottom of the Remote Programmer.
Buster will follow your commands to a T or over the edge.

If you put the commands in the wrong order, try again.

HINT: Try tracing a complete path as you put the commands in order.

There's a REALLY NASTY Bug here in which you can lose all your power by pressing the Spacebar, so don't do it.

9-16. JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain - Completing a Mission

You'll need to collect Polly's four Mission Clues and a bunch of Invention Points to rescue a robot. When you've collected all four objects & enough Invention Points, head for Time Machine Mission Control at the very top of the mountain. Look for the passageway on the third floor of the Mountain Mansion. Every time you complete a Mission, the next one gets Harder.

Key:
QuizDisk = Difficulty Level

13. KnowledgeLand

https://archive.org/details/KnowledgeLand_Knowledge_Adventure_1996

KnowledgeLand is a game released by Knowledge Adventure in the fall of 1996. It was included as a bonus disc with the original 1996 releases of JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain and JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island.

It is not explicitly labeled as a JumpStart game, but contains demos for JumpStart games. It is an example of an early massively-multiplayer online game, though it can also be played single-player.

The game's setting is an island called KnowledgeLand, which contains the JumpStart Grade School campus and the Brain Blast amusement park. The player selects an avatar character and explores the different locations in KnowledgeLand. The main object of the game is to collect Knowledge Cards. Knowledge Cards contain information relating to various school subjects, such as science, history, and geography. They can be traded or exchanged for points by matching cards with the same categories. As the player earns points, they can unlock new avatars.

The player can move their avatar around by clicking on the location or direction they would like to go to. The player's avatar can perform five animations: wave, jump, spin, fall down, and get up. The player can also chat with other players by using the Kidchat feature. The player can create dialogue boxes by selecting words or phrases from a list, which are then spoken aloud by a synthetic voice. Kidchat also includes a set of voice clips and sound effects.

Great guide, brings back tons of memories. Do you know where the save files are stored? I'd love to edit them so I can witness the ending of the games.

[Allanah_16]

if one could explain part 2, number 5 in a bit more words as I'm not seeing the option for 8. Or I'm not doing 8 right. for part 2, step 8 does one go to the DOSBox folder in the Zombie war folder or in the new folder.
