If you went to school anytime in the late 80's to early 90's, you probably participated in the heralded age of "edutainment." The age where computer software would combine entertainment with education and capture young minds, laying the crooked areas straight and the rough places plain. The power of interactive experiences would transform the educational setting, helping to turn repetitive tasks into games and facilitate exploration of complex subjects at the speed of the student. Instead, we got Math Munchers.
The revolution will not be televised.
But a new generation of post-modern students requires a new generation of educational software. For that we have the multi-genre title, Frog Fractions. Spanning fractions, interactive fiction, and text adventure, it explores the philosophy of educational software, as well as boxing, and like any good sci-fi, humanity itself. This game shines a light into your soul. But is it satire?
