Crystal Rain Forest 2000 introduces the Logo programming language in a highly motivating way and provides your child with the opportunity to apply math to problem solving situations. Logo is a programming language developed to teach children how to program.

All the problems and puzzles are related to Logo and are encountered in a carefully structured manner so that users learn the many elements of Logo without even realizing it.

The planet Oglo is in big trouble... only your child can save its rain forests and its king by finding the magic crystals hidden in the rain forest.

Crystal Rain Forest is a Logo-oriented adventure game for students from 8 to 13. The story is exciting, the colors bright, the activities fun, all mixed with the right amount of clever animation and humor. A poisoned dart, a snake with a sweet tooth, and some friendly monsters all figure into the plot. The graphics and sound are superb - they'll bring forth a chuckle from kids and adults alike. An adventure that kids will want to explore again and again, Crystal Rain Forest is great for home or school!

Crystal Rain Forest creates an engaging environment which teaches Logo through a progression of mathematical activities, each a natural part of the plot. Students estimate distances and angles, repeat patterns, experiment with variables, and build procedures. They read maps as they explore Bridgetown, hunting for clues and helping local residents. They guide robots, mend bridges, and pack medicinal leaves into boxes to earn money for equipment. Then it's off to the river to find the rain forest crystals. Eventually, you learn to make crystal shapes with an easy-to-use version of Logo.

Start at any of 26 locations or save your position and begin from there later. Choose from two difficulty levels, and print or save any screen.

Crystal Rain Forest 2000 features stunning graphics, animation, sound effects and full narration.

For children with an affinity for computers, this could be a wonderful introduction to computer programming.
