KinderVentures - The Wanderoos Go To Town

The Wanderoos are at it again, this time in town. Pocket and Tails, two
ever-so-lovable, ever-so-curious Wanderoos, first debuted in The Wanderoos
Go Exploring. This time Pocket and Tails lead users, young and old, into
Wanderooville, where a whole new set of learning adventures await
discovery. Once again the sights and sounds of the world are brought to
life in interactive CD-ROM. And those wily Wanderoos are still demanding
popcorn and still challenging users to beat them at a game of educational
hide-and-seek.
