God damn lawyers, I tell ya! What we're really trying to say is that
we make no claim or guarantee that this software has not been released
before. However, you will undoubtedly find that we package more
information and offer a higher degree of reliability than any other
group in the scene. All of this in one helluva tight package, too! And
besides, consider what one of this country's great founding fathers once
stated:

"All the world can puteth out a ware, but it does not do the common
man a shiteth of good if he shall ne'er gaze upon them."

Benjamin Franklin, 1787

Although "ware" took on a slightly different meaning back then... ;)

RELEASE INFO

Explore the land down under with your new friend Kevin. Kevin is a
kangaroo, but you probably already knew that. Anyway, hop along with
Kevin and have fun learning about Australia. Get it -- hop along?
AHAHAHHAHAHAHHHHAHAHHA. Ok, here's what the box says:

Meet Kevin the Kangaroo and learn all about his family and the land
down under. In this multimedia adventure you explore the Australian
Bush, see wild animals, and play six fun activities and games along
the way. You will also meet Namatjira, the young aborigine who joins
you as you learn and play.

Features Include:
. 6 exciting games and activities for learning and fun
. Easy to use; reading skills not required
. Interactive design lets kids explore at their own pace
. Colorful animation and state-of-the-art sound

Each time "Namatjira" the young aborigine tells you something
interesting about the life of the Kangaroos.

Icons:
. Footprint. Click this icon to return to the previous screen.
. Pointing Hand (up). If your mouse pointer turns into a hand that
points up, click the object and it will come to life.
. Pointing Hand (to the right). If the hand points to the right, click
the object and you will go to another scene. A spinning globe means

RIP NOTES

I really RIP'ped the shit out of this one! The game had a lot of
foreign language files...French and maybe some Japanese -- can't
remember. Anyways, I nuked them all with my TruncIt! utility and
they're all included in the RIP. The funny thing being that the game
provided no facility for playing it in an alternate language. It
appears that that was the way it was intended to be, for I blew away
some foreign language selection screens as well, but the manual made no
mention of them and they never came up during play...

Anyways, if I fucked up somewhere (which I very much highly doubt), and
the game starts bombing because of a bad .MOV file, then just copy one
on top of it. Probably won't happen... ;)
