Thomas & Friends CD ROM lets players from as young as three, set up a Festival on the Island of Sodor. Children are invited to travel around the Island with Thomas to their favourite locations including the Engine Shed, Quarry and Main Staion, to help him prepare for the Festival. Well known and popular characters join in on the way including Thomas, Percy, James, Harold, Toby, Clarabel, Annie, Cranky the Crane, Bertie the Bus and Sir Topham Hatt
As they arrive at each designated stop, children can print off lots of pictures to colour in and will be rewarded with a certificate and postcards, enabling them to build up a personalised Drivers Logbook.
The game takes the form of a linear journey. Players work their way through one activity at a time around the Island and each activity can be accessed by clicking on the 3D Island of Sodor at any time. With seven traditional pre-school play patterns including colour matching, shape sorting and counting, combined with strong 3D animated graphics, Thomas & Friends will capture the imagination of Thomas the Tank Engine fans everywhere.
