[DOS][1980-1995] Shapes and colors game for kids
Posted: Mon May 27, 2024 10:08 pm
Platform: We had a Windows 95 or 98 computer, I think the game was DOS.
Genre: For children
Estimated year of release: 1980-1995?
Notable characters: none
The game was on a black background. You had to reproduce a colored shape by selecting a shape among several on one side of the screen, and a color among several on the other side. Once selected, the colored shape dropped from the top in the middle of the screen and assembled with other colored shapes to make a drawing. Once complete, the drawing animated and left the screen, and you started another drawing.
Some animations I remember: a boat pulling a water skier, a car with something (an animal?) inside, a bathtub whose tap turned on and filled it, some makeup that transformed into a minigame.
I thought the name of the game was "Shapes", but I didn't find anything under that name. I looked through some abandonware catalogs without luck. It's definitely not Ernie's Magic Shapes, Mickey's Colors and Shapes, Shape Shop or Shapes and Patterns.
I know it's a long shot, but I really hope someone remembers that game, I've been trying to remember for years.
