Based on the I Can Read children's book by Syd Hoff, Danny and the Dinosaur is a fun-filled activity center designed to help children improve early reading skills, including vocabulary development, understanding relative concepts, vowel recognition, spelling, letter and case recognition and rhyming. Children can interact with the characters Danny, the Dinosaur and their friends on 5 adventures with three levels of difficulty to challenge them.
From the main menu, you can go directly to any of the five activities: Downtown Fun, Hide-and-Seek, Toot! Toot!, Play Ball! and Zany Zoo. Danny and the Dinosaur give you a short introduction to each, and the difficulty level can be set before beginning the selected activity.
The activities available are:
Downtown Fun: Danny and the Dinosaur are shopping downtown and need your help! Danny has list of items he must buy and several stores to choose from. Using word clues from Danny you can help find and purchase all the things that he and the Dinosaur need.
Hide-and-Seek: Danny, the Dinosaur and their friends are all playing hide-and-seek. Their friends are hidden in the campground, the playground or in the backyard with various objects. Your help is needed to find them! The Dinosaur will give you word clues about the objects he is looking for, and you will need to find the friends who have those objects.
Toot! Toot!: An open drawbridge is causing a noisy traffic jam and Danny and the Dinosaur need your help to load all the boats in the harbor so the bridge can close. Crates with different letters on them must be correctly loaded into different boats to win.
Play Ball!: Danny and the Dinosaur are at a baseball game, and Danny desperately wants to catch a home run ball. You can help Danny by playing this word game. You will identify initial letter and vowel sounds and complete simple words. With each correct answer, the players run the bases and Danny gets closer to catching his first home run ball!
Zany Zoo: You will visit the zoo with Danny and the Dinosaur. Listen to the descriptions of the animals and match the correct animal to the word clues. When you find the right animal, you can feed them!
This game is designed for children ages three to six.
For Windows (32-bit Systems) / Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
