O!Kay! CD-ROMs 2000

About O!Kay! magazine:
O!Kay! is a monthly magazine for German students in grades 1 to 4 to learn English.
If ordered, every three months a CD-ROM is included.
Jule and Danny (both talk German, represented by the Player: the Player have to select either Jule or Danny to play) meets Sam, an English man and Kay, his blue parrot. Sam is only talking English. He owns a houseboat and offers a lot of experiences. You may get to know Sam and learn to talk English with him, like Jule and Danny do it already.

GUI elements used in these games:
If the mouse pointer becomes a hand, the object under the hand can be clicked.
The menu bar in the bottom area includes five symbols:

• Lighthouse: Click this to see what you've played so far
• Back arrow: Switch back to the previous sequence you've played
• Life-belt: Explains the GUI again
• Loudness modifier: Adjust loudness
• Anchor: Quit the game
• Sometimes appears a knot sign. If you click it, your fellow will explain the next steps to perform.

About 'Friends':
Jule and Danny are visiting New York, accompanied by Sam, their english-speaking companion. Sam wants to visit the musical band "Nice Guys". The "Nice Guys" and Sam wants to search for the sheet of a particular song, which has been lost. To find it is the task of this game, but there is a conflict about the "Nice Guys" between Jule and Danny. Will this conflict be solved, will this adventure be solved at all?

About 'Best Of 2000':
Are you already familiar with Jule and Danny? If not, now it's time to meet them, because with Jule, Danny, Sam and his funny parrot you can experience exciting adventures. Sam is only talking English, but Jule and Danny (who are talking German as native language, but on the way to learn to speak English) understands Sam very well. How is it working? Watch this CD-ROM, take a look at pictures taken from previous O!Kay! CD-ROMs and if you want to play along a bit using their previous adventures, just do.

About 'The pirates of Guernsey':
Our friends will meet a real pirate ship, where they'll explore some things.
Now, Jule, Danny, Sam and Kay take a travel to Guernsey, an old pirate island between England and France. Today, this island is inhabited by ordinary people, but the pirate ship seems to be still the same as it was at its time.

Attention: "Christmas in London" requires Virtual DVD/CD-ROM Utility to mount the CD-ROM. Elsewhere it'll ask for CD-ROM, even if mounted.

About 'Christmas in London':
It's Christmas and Jule, Danny and their fellow Sam plans to visit Sam's nephew Rupert who lives in London. When Sam's houseboat arrived at a pier at the Themse river, you all continue to travel by taking the bus. Your Xmas "gift" for Rupert's father is to invite his old friend Geoffrey. The goal of this CD-ROM is to find out Geoffrey's family name.

Baker game ("Backspiel"):
The Nanny wants you to help to create a dough. Click the cook book to oder she to read aloud the recipe written in the book. Now, give the ingredients to her. All the ingredients (correct ones and non-correct ones) are placed on the table. Move the mouse over an ingredients to let the Nanny tell the name of it. If you leave the mouse curser over the ingredient, the curser becomes a hand. Hold down the mouse button, drag the ingredient into the hands of the Nanny. If it is the correct ingredient, the Nanny will put it into the dough. The ingredients to put into the dough are flour, salt, sugar, eggs and butter. If all five ingredients has been merged into the dough, you'll reach the next sequence of the game.
Now you know the family name of Geoffrey, which is Pepper, and your next goal is to call him by phone (use an external telephone booth / call box to do so).

Telephone game:
Rupert orders you to open the telephone directory to find Pepper listed in. You'll find three entries and the goal of this game is to call all three Pepper's to find out who is the one they are looking for. Detailed instructions to play this game can be found in the file "LIESMICH" on the CD-ROM (in German. These game descriptions are taken from this file at all).
One of the three Peppers isn't at home. You decide to write him a letter. Rupert uses his computer to write the letter, but when the letter has been finished, the computer hangs.

Letter game:
A few words of the letter are vanished and are placed at the bottom of the screen, puzzled. Drag them back to the correct location within the letter. This is the correct order of the words:
December, 21, st, father, friend, Christmas, Rupert.
If the letter has been finished again, bring the letter to the letter box.

Final sequence:
A Christmas party in Rupert's house. Help to assign the Xmas gifts to the persons they belongs to. If you've assigned right, the Xmas gift will be un-boxed immediately!
