I remember borrowing this game from a friend and playing it, and the main thing that struck me about it was the writing. At times, it's silly and loves a groan-inducing pun, but the characters feel oddly grounded (which is saying something when some of them are, for example, vampires and alien cyborgs), and there's so much heart and empathy for them. The puzzles are also challenging enough to keep you engaged as you work through the story and interact with the world, and the graphics, though not crafted to impress, have a handmade style that feels as charming and laid back as a well-executed painting of dogs playing poker. Playing this game has the vibe of hanging out with your friends at your favorite cozy bar during a particularly challenging trivia night.
I bought this game in the 90s in Switzerland from a shop that had all the cool games imported from the US. By cool I mean the ones that had the ridiculous big boxes. I still have a image of that CD-ROM on my pc thirty years later but it would be nice to have a version that I can get to run without having to jump through a dozen hoops.

Mixed-Up Mother GooseThis is an updated version of Roberta Williams' Mixed-Up Mother Goose. This version utilizes Sierra's SCI game interpreter and features enhanced graphics and sound.
The gameplay remains the same as the previous version; all of the nursery rhymes in Mother Goose Land have become mixed up! Your goal is to set things straight by locating missing items for each of the fairy tale characters in the land. When wandering around the land you can talk to the different characters (each from a different nursery rhyme) to find out what item it is they need; for example, Little Bo Peep is looking for her sheep and Jack Be Nimble lost his candle stick. The items are scattered about the land, and when you locate one pick it up and return it to the appropriate character. When successful, the complete nursery rhyme will play with the lyrics appearing on screen. You can only carry one item at a time, so you may need to remember where you spotted or dropped items not being carried! Also, each time the game is played objects will be in a new location. Included with the game is a map of Mother Goose Land which may help you locate the different fairy tale characters.Kids

The game consists of six pyramids each with its own wall engravings and color pattern; every pyramid contains 10 levels.
