The World of Animals

About

The World of Animals is a trivia game where you help solve a mystery about an eggshell's origin. Playing as a helper to characters like a farmer and a bee, you answer questions and follow clues to uncover which animal hatched from the shell. Each choice advances the story, introducing farm and wild animals along the way. The gameplay mixes basic multiple-choice quizzes with narrative moments, guiding you through a series of educational tidbits about different species. What stands out is the interactive storytelling approach for its era. The inclusion of "phone calls" from characters via the Video Phone hardware adds a gimmicky but engaging layer. While the 1989 release date shows its age, the focus on animal facts and simple problem solving makes it a quaint example of early edutainment. Its charm lies in the lighthearted mystery and the novelty of characters reaching out through the system's unique features.
