Let’s Play Mixed Up Mother Goose! Let’s Play Mixed Up Mother GooseI was about 3 or 4 when we got this game, so yeah, I loved it. Developed by Roberta Williams of King’s Quest game with I believe the specific intent being of creating a game which her kids could play.

Let’s Play Mixed Up Mother Goose:

This game was great for any kids really, because unlike with other more challenging Sierra games which required a lot more deduction and reasoning deciding how to use different items in different ways, here you just had to match the right nursery rhyme item with its corresponding nursery rhyme characters/setting.

You didn’t have an inventory really, you could just only carry one item at a time. This taught kids their nursery rhymes which I guess is important on some level and made for some good clean and safe fun. Plus when you reunited items with their corresponding nursery rhymes, you got to enjoy a musical version of the rhyme and some of the treatments were pretty darn catchy.

Hey Diddle Diddle was always my favorite; i really dug the night/moon setting and thought a cat who played the fiddle was pretty cool. What was your favorite while we’re on the subject?

The only thing which bummed me out was that I couldn’t get the original version I grew up with to work on my computer so i had to play the remake. The music was a lot better in the original, particularly with Hey Diddle Diddle, but I guess the game is still teaching me valuable lessons decades later even as an adult, this time in that you can’t always get what you want.
