Description

This is the educational software Fun School 2 (For them Over-8s) by Europress Software for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum home computer.

This software includes six programs to help entertain and educate children - including cleverly animated rewards and stunning graphics, combined with essential elements of the National Curriculum.

Programs are:

  • Build a Bridge - Shape-fitting challenge.
  • Passage of Guardians - Enjoy anagrams
  • Unicorn - A test of logical thought
  • Logic Doors - Mapping made easy
  • Souvenirs - An introduction to travel
  • Code Boxes - Discover binary arithmetic.
  • Mystery Machine - Code breaking fund
  • Escape - A final check on progress

More of a collector's item now - as the world has moved on a lot since the 1980s, so I daresay that some of the information is woefully out of date unless you look on them in historical context.  Still these educational titles have become more sought after now, as they did not sell in huge numbers in the 80s - kids just wanted to pretend the computer was to help them with school work, when in reality it was initially for playing Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy, and later for teaching about computers and breeding a whole generation of computer programmers!

In good condition, this is supplied in its original oversize case, complete with cassette and manual.
