'Tweenies
- Messy Time Magic' to be published on CD-ROM
大象传媒
Multimedia, the Best Children's Software Company 2001*, is publishing
a Tweenies PC CD-ROM, based on the 'Messy Time' section of the leading
children's TV show.
The
new PC CD-ROM title, now confirmed as Tweenies - Messy Time Magic,
focuses on creative play and 'make & do' activities that are
featured during Messy Time in the TV programme. Unlike traditional
'Art Pack' software, the CD-ROM's activities allow children to experience,
through their computer, some of the messier moments of the show
they can't do in the home. Children are guaranteed to have lots
of fun!
These
fun and educational activities include:
- Jungle
Maker: Make a jungle collage and match the sounds to the animals,
then watch the whole scene animate and even turn to night!
- Colourful
windows: Judy is admiring stained glass windows. Make pictures
and shapes for the Tweenies' (its many windows in various houses)
then see the lovely patterns as the light shines through.
- Baking:
Learn to make bread with special Tweenie ingredients and you might
end up with some messy and funny results!
- Dot
to Dot: Join up the dots on the little pictures and watch as the
whole scene comes to life when you've finished.
- Recycling:
Put things in the recycling machine and see what comes out! Can
you make the things the Tweenies ask for out of the old junk?

All
these activities play differently depending on which Tweenie you
choose to be your playmate. A video clip from the TV programme giving
background to the task in hand precedes each task.
There
is also a gallery for your creations and a series of activities
to do away from the computer.
The
new software builds on 大象传媒 Multimedia's highly successful portfolio
of Tweenies titles. The BIMA and Right Start Best Toy Award winning
Tweenies - Ready to Play on PC dominated the children's software
charts throughout 2000 and 2001, having been the biggest selling
children's CD-ROM in 2000 [Chart Track].
The
sing-a-long follow up CD-ROM, Tweenies - Play to the Music, has
recently been recognised with a 2002 IVCA Gold Award in the Interactive
Multimedia Publishing category.

Multimedia has also taken the colourful foursome to other platforms
- with the PlayStation title Tweenies - Game Time and Doodles' Bones
on Game Boy Color.
The
Tweenies TV programme has been sold to 45 countries around the world
and is centred around the bright and colourful world of Bella, Milo,
Fizz and Jake.
Each
of the characters, aged between 3 and 5 have a distinctive look,
are full of imaginative ideas and enthusiasm and exhibit all the
characteristics of the young audience watching at home.
As
well as the Tweenies characters, the series includes two loveable
pets, adult characters Judy and Max, and Doodles and Izzles - both
of which are featured in the latest interactive product.
