Welcome to the World of EA*Kids

Dear Future Story Painting Fan:

The Story Painting Adventure series offers a revolutionary approach 
to storytelling. For the first time, technology enables you children to 
control the events in their favorite stories. IN Peter Pan, kids unite with 
a set of animated paint tool, "The Paintbox Pals, " and choose from a 
myriad of possibilities to help Peter Pan save Wendy from the evil 
Captain Hook.

This brief demo will give you a taste of how you would interact with the 
story. When Peter runs into a problem and gives you a glance, he needs 
your help. Look to the Paintbox Pals! When they turn around to face you, 
it means that they're ready to help. To use one, just click on a Pal with your 
mouse and apply his or her special talents to the area in the sparkling stars. 
Voila! you've helped Peter through another critical event. In this demo only 
one or two options are available per scene. In the real product you'll have 
an average of 7 different options to help Peter in each scene! With three 
Acts and over 30 different scenes, there are literally hundreds of ways you 
can help Peter through his adventures in Neverland. And at a suggested retail 
price of $49.95, Peter Pan is a real value for both children and parents. So 
far hundreds of kids, parents, educators and evaluators have enjoyed preview 
versions of Peter Pan.

Here's what a few of them had to say:

"The BEST educational game for kids yet."
Joyce Worley, Electronic Games Magazine.

"Wow. This game is really neat. I can really help Peter Pan."
Jimmy, age 7, playing Peter Pan.

"EA*Kids is doing something absolutely new with storytelling and giving 
real meaning to the phrase "Interactive Adventure"".
Peter Scisco, Editor, Kids and Computers.

We hope that you will enjoy Peter Pan too. If you would like any more
