Targeted at children ages four to six, Star Wars Early Learning Activity Center incorporates animated educational activities and characters from Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Included are Jar Jar Binks, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Queen Amidala and Boss Nass. Before hopping into the festive worlds of Theed and Otoh Gunga, Queen Amidala asks you to create a character, or sign in with an existing one. Each world features various activities and games. While in the bustling metropolis of Theed, for example, you can participate in Gungan Sling Painting or the Naboo Puppet Theater, and create and interact with rhythm in Music Droids.

Gungan Sling Painting involves coloring various droids to match the given pattern. There are ten droids per pattern that pop out of the ground. Because some droids are already painted, you must decide which colors to apply to those that need painting. Building language and vocabulary skills, the Naboo Puppet Theater features incomplete stories (based on characters from the movie) and various words. Your mission is to fill in the blanks, using the given words, so the puppet show can be performed. The show and storyline is riding on your shoulders!

Afterwards, head over to the Theed Music Hall and participate in the Music Droids activity. Using the Melody Map, you can select various tunes including background music, notes and instruments (violins, pianos and saxophones). This musical session teaches the foundations of basic music concepts and familiarizes you with instrumental sounds.

The educational fun doesn't end there. Otoh Gunga features three activities including the Gungan Deesco Dance, Dunk Boss Nass and a treasure hunt. Using various icons representing different functions, the Gungan Deesco Dance lets you create dance sequences with Jar Jar Binks. You can choreograph seven dance steps in a single sequence. Icons represent various moves, music patterns, and erasers to undo previous steps. Once a sequence is complete, Binks will perform your dancing creation!

Dunk Boss Nass requires you to throw different types of critters into various tubes. Some Timas feature varying colors, tails and horns and you must match and place them into the corresponding tubes. Tubes are labeled with matching flags representing these discrepancies. After correctly sorting out the critters, Boss Nass splashes into the water tank! Finally, the treasure hunt has you seeking out hidden clams with Obi-Wan Kenobi. As he is swimming around, you click on various items and overturn rocks as the announcer offers hints and clues as to where the clams are hidden. Spanning five caves, there is one clam per level and their locations differ each time the activity is played.

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.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
