    kids... and you will get a kick out of it too!

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    SpaceKids is the story of a brother and sister who live on the
    Moon with their grandfather. One day Grandpa leaves to explore
    Earth. When he does not come back, the SpaceKids fly to Earth to
    search for him. Along the way, they discover a strange and wonderful
    world filled with fantastic characters.

    SpaceKids is an interactive cartoon where you help the kids find
    their grandfather.  The story changes depending on your actions and

    HOW TO PLAY:

    This preview is fully playable. When there are arrows
    on the screen, you can use them to make things
    happen.

    Keyboard:  Press the key on the keypad that matches
               the arrow. For example, to use the up arrow,
               press the 8 key on your keypad. To use the
               down-and-right arrow, press the 3 key on your
               keypad, and so on.

    Mouse:     Move the mouse until the arrow you want to
               use is bigger than the rest and then click
               the mouse button.

    Joystick:  Move the joystick in the direction of the
               arrow that you want to use.  If the joystick
               doesn't seem to be working right, center the
               joystick and press "J".

    The small picture by the arrows shows what the arrows will
    control. If you see a "?" by the arrows, it means that you
    need to solve a special challenge before moving on.

    Press "S" to skip a scene.

    Hold "F" down to fast forward at double speed.

    Press the spacebar to pause the game. Press any key to
    continue.

    Press the Esc key to quit.
