Both are Apogee’s only edutainment titles and are one of the last of the old style of educational titles. put out in 1992 and built with the same engine that powered the Duke Nukem games. The plot centers around the Gruzzles witch steal either all of the numbers or words. In Word Rescue you match words to pictures by jumping over rectangles along the level witch plays like any other platformer to exit each level you must correctly match all words to complete the key to the exit. the game keeps a non violent feel by having you slime the guzzles making them go away instead of killing them. Math Rescue plays much the same way you have to collect numbers and solve math problems to exit the level. Both allow you to play either as a boy or girl. both also split episodes in classic apogee fashion as separate exe files. The low system requirements make it a excellent game to install on to an older computer to give to a young child. Apogee sells both as download-able games bundled with dosbox
