What is Midnight Play?

Midnight Play is what Simon & Schuster calls “a spontaneous interactive fantasy.” Fantasy? Perhaps, Spontaneous and interactive? That description is somewhat loose.

Based on art by Kveta Pacovska, a Czechoslovakian children’s book illustrator, Midnight Play incorporates but a crumb of interactivity into a large series of pictures. The CD takes kids through images, allowing them the opportunity to use each as a digital playground. However, unlike the Jungle Gym, which provides hours of fun, Midnight Play will have kids bored to tears.

For instance, one screen displays the head and torso of a giant clown lying on its side. By clicking and dragging with their mouse, kids can pull the clown back and forth to view the rest of his body. Whoop-de-doo. Activities like these are fascinating for about eight seconds. The program presents scenarios one after the other without offering the player a choice about where to go next — a moot point anyway, since the game is such a yawn. If clowns amuse your kids, take them to the circus. If Pacovska’s colorful artwork fascinates them, buy the books. Just don’t bother with this CD.
