Description:

Join the two-headed dragon, Devon and Cornwall, for fun and games in Quest for Camelot Dragon Games. There are seven activities, from video clips and sing alongs to games and storyteling. Use backgrounds and characters from the movie to tell your own story of Camelot.

Features:

  • Dragon Tales - write, illustrate, print!
  • Raise a virtual pet dragon.
  • Create mixed up creatures with magic potion.
  • Play Ruber's Barricade - 12 levels of action
  • Make a Minion - create and print an animated minion.
  • Watch video clips from the movie.
  • Learn new songs inspired by the movie.

Technical Aspects:

We experienced no problems running this program on our Pentium 200 MMX or on our Pentium II 300 machine. The graphics are bright and engaging, and the box design will give an excellent idea of what this program is really like.

Report and Conclusions:

My son (4 years) was thrilled to raise a baby dragon! He played with it off and on and still asks for it. What I like about this as opposed to Tamagotchi for the PC is that 1) there's no way to "kill" it and 2) it runs only when you run this program and click on that section! No popping up to beg and carry on (there's enough of that at our house already!)

If your kids enjoyed the movie, they will have a blast with this program. There isn't anything too scary here, just silliness and fun throughout.
