Mixed-Up Mother Goose - Trivia

Trivia

  • Two versions of Mixed-Up Mother Goose are included in The Roberta Williams' Anthology, a collection of games designed by Roberta Williams. Those are the original 1987 version and the 1992 multimedia CD remake.
  • The picture of Mother Goose on the original game box is actually Roberta Williams herself, with two children (not hers) reading a book of nursery rhymes, accompanied by several characters from the rhymes. The only other box cover she would star in would be the cover for Softporn Adventure.
  • The 1992 version of the game was Sierra's first CD-ROM game, as well as one of the first computer games to be released exclusively on CD.
  • In a later Sierra game, Space Quest V, one of the messages displayed upon dying was "Looks like you've been spreading yourself a bit thin lately. Perhaps you'd like to try one of our less challenging games like "Mixed Up Mother Goose?"
  • The "Classic's Reillustrated" version was also planned and announced for the Atari ST line of computers but was later cancelled. No word on whether a beta version exists or how far development went although it was announced via Sierra Online's magazine: Sierra News Magazine (Spring 1991) and owners were instructed to send disk #1 or the front cover of the manual along with a check or money order for $15 to upgrade their copy to the "Classic's Reillustrated" version.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:

    “The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
    —J.G. (James Graham)
