Mixed-Up Mother Goose is a great adventure game for toddlers that marks a departure for designer Roberta Williams, of King's Quest fame.

First released in 1987, the game's strong premise, great gameplay, and charming graphics propelled it to the top of children's title charts. Anyone who's familiar with nursery rhymes will be able to guess the plot from the game's title. In a dream, you are carried on gooseback to the fantasy land where nursery rhymes are true stories. Mother Goose has inadvertently mixed up all her rhymes, and it's up to you to fix it.

Gameplay is best described as the larger version of a typical card-matching game. In the case of Mother Goose, your goal is to match items and people (or people and people, or people and animals). When you meet a nursery rhyme character, he or she will tell you what they want or what they're missing. You have to scout Mother Goose's realm and find and remember the location of each item as you can only carry one object, or escort one person/animal at a time. You can only 'drop' an object or entity when you come into contact with another, or when you make a correct match.

True to the game's focus on preschoolers, there is no text parser - the game is played completely with either the keypad or joystick. Kids will have a lot of fun seeing their familiar nursery rhymes come to life, including Jack and Jill, Little Bo Peep, Humpty Dumpty, Little Miss Muffet, Old King Cole, Hey Diddle Diddle and many more, totaling 18 in all. Mother Goose is probably meant to be played by both parent and child together, as there is some text in the game that toddlers can't read, and older children who can read probably would have outgrown nursery rhymes.

Overall, Mother Goose is definitely one of the best titles ever designed for toddlers, and there's some educational value even for adults, I couldn't recognize some of the nursery rhymes in the game ;) Two thumbs up! Also be sure to check out the 1992 enhanced CD-ROM version of the game, which features excellent VGA graphics and music. The latest version of the game is 1996's Mixed-Up Mother Goose Deluxe, and upgrades the game even further with SVGA graphics and a bonus audio CD.

Can you make this for ios? I really want to play this on my phone.

Hey guys I figured out how to beat the whole game so it doesn't freeze out. Whatever you do, don't open the game fullscreen. I played it in the small screen and I got to complete everything!!!

This was my first favourite game! I remember playing it non-stop back in the 80s, but the game was stuck and I wasn't able to finish it. For some reason I keep thinking about it these few days and decided to google it. Can't believe I found it! Could you please consider putting it on iOS? I would love to play it again, and finish it this time round.

Erika2015-01-163 points DOS version

This was one of my first ever computer games and I still remember it fondly. Used to play it on floppy disk on my grandparent's ancient computer. The other day, a child I babysat asked me what a floppy disk was. Boy, does this make me feel old!

Good version updated thanks to Ewa ;)

Dug2011-07-200 point DOS version

You've uploaded the wrong SCI version, you first had the AGI version, and now you've uploaded the newer SCI version. Your screenshots are of the older SCI version which came inbetween the two aforementioned.

admin2011-05-230 point DOS version

Fixed !

Trisk2011-05-220 point DOS version

Thanks for showing images from the difficult to find SCI version of the game, while providing a download for the crappy AGI version. You suck.

Roberta Williams' Mixed-Up Mother Goose is a computer game first released by Sierra On-Line in 1987. It is, in essence, an edutainment title, directed specifically at young gamers, as well as an adventure game. It was the first multimedia game released on CD-ROM in 1991.^[1] A second game in the series, Mixed-Up Fairy Tales, was released in 1991.

The storyline of the game is very simple, as is common in games for children. One night, while preparing for bed, a child (which is the player's avatar) is sent into the dreamlike world of Mother Goose, who desperately needs his or her help. All the nursery rhymes in the land have gotten mixed up, with none of the inhabitants possessing the items necessary for their rhyme to exist. And so, the child will find themselves helping Humpty Dumpty find a ladder to scramble onto a wall, bringing the little lamb back to Mary and seeking out a pail for Jack and Jill, among others.

Gameplay[edit]

Gameplay is again rather simple. The AGI system, similar to the one used extensively in previous Sierra games (e.g. the Quest series: King's Quest, Police Quest, etc.), is utilized in the 1987 version. The player controls his or her characters using - almost exclusively - the four direction keys on the keyboard. When an item of interest comes into view, it is usually shown very clearly, so that younger gamers would not find it difficult to hunt it down. Walking close to an item is synonymous with picking it up and, as there is only one inventory window in the top-right corner of the screen, the character can only hold one object at a time. Inanimate objects can be found in houses or on the ground throughout the land, whereas living objects can only be found outdoors. In the case of living objects, the person or animal will follow behind the player so that they can be led back to the person or place they need to be to complete the rhyme. Human objects, such as Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater's wife, will also explain where they want to go in words and a 'thought bubble'. Some characters (namely Old King Cole) require several items brought to them in order to put their rhyme back together. All but one of the items are placed randomly throughout the land. There are 18 nursery rhymes to choose from, 20 items to recover, and many screens in which one can find the lost items. A point is awarded for each fixed rhyme. If a player finds it hard to match the objects with the rhymes, he or she can approach the characters who are in need of a specific part of their story and this item will be displayed above them in the form of a 'thought bubble'. At the beginning of the game, the player can select the character that will be used during the game, with 8 characters from which to choose. The game can be saved, or more precisely, bookmarked (a feature which became prominent - and somewhat infamous - in some later Sierra games, including Phantasmagoria and King's Quest VII), at any time.

Other versions[edit]

Mixed-Up Mother Goose was remade by Sierra three times, bringing the total up to four different versions.

• In 1990 (Mixed-Up Mother Goose Enhanced), it was remade using the SCI0 system, which meant improved graphics.
• In 1991 (Mixed-Up Mother Goose VGA/Multimedia CD), the game was remade, this time with more significant enhancements and changes. The first was the clearly visible change in graphics, resulting from Sierra's transition to VGA games. Second, the rhymes, whose tune was played in the previous versions, were given voices, each of them being sung separately, with the appropriate actions accompanying the music. Third, the interface was updated and became much easier and faster to navigate. Finally, the player was given a map of the land, if he or she should ever feel lost in the nursery rhyme world. This edition came out as a CD version with full digital speech, and as a floppy version in which only the rhymes were digitally recorded. The CD version used Sierra's SCI1 (early). The floppy version used Sierra's SCI1.1. The versions are not absolutely identical. For example, the CD version directly starts with the Mixed-Up Mother Goose main-menu. The floppy version starts with the animated Sierra logo. Main-menu button placements are also different.
• In 1995, the final remake was released, entitled Mixed-Up Mother Goose Deluxe. It featured further improved SVGA graphics and a bonus audio CD, as well as the introduction of different melodies and styles of music.

Reception[edit]

Compute! stated 'I can't think of a better way to teach kids the classical nursery rhymes'.^[2] It won the 1991 Software Publishers Association Excellence in Software Award for Best Early Education Program.^[3]

According to Sierra On-Line, Mixed-Up Mother Goose sold over 500,000 copies by 1995.^[4]

Trivia[edit]

• 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 1991 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 1991 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^[5] 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.
