An educational game designed to help children recognize and name objects. The game has several famous characters from the Sesame Street show, including Big Bird, Elmo, Oscar the Grouch, The two headed Monster and Guy Smiley as your host.

It's formatted as a game show with mini games that encourage spelling, reading and identifying words. Several of the characters provide instructions on the mini game and provide assistance when needed. As with many educational games aimed at preschoolers, every object performs a nifty little animation when clicked on.

The cast from the TV series performs most of the voices. Kermit is missing, possibly due to the unfortunate loss of Jim Henson in 1990. [source:mobygames]
