Blast Through Space And Learn the 'Net

  • 12/01/96

Internet Coach for Kids: Mission to Planet X is a CD-ROM adventure that takes young students on a challenging adventure while they master essential Internet skills.

Students "warp" through space in search of clues that will lead them to Planet X, facing challenging puzzles and brain teasers along the way. Kids outwit alien forces and devise strategies to save the earth, all while learning to browse the Web, search for specific items, and use e-mail and other Internet functions.

Integrated Help features make Mission to Planet X an easy way to learn the Internet. APTE, Inc., Evanston, IL, (847) 866-1872, www.apte.com. WM
