Lore Check: Rocky’s Boots
My mom bought me Rocky’s Boots at the now dearly departed Egghead Software. I loved Egghead Software. I still get the feels when I pass the strip mall where it used to be.
In Rocky’s Boots, You took control of Rocky (a raccoon)(of course) to learn the basics of electrical engineering. You would string logic gates together (not, or, and) to solve puzzles.
It was made by Warren Robinett (who made Adventure) and Leslie Grimm (who is awesome). They, along with Ann McCormick, and Teri Perl founded The Learning Company, purveyors of fine educational software.
You can play Rocky’s Boots right now, and experience what it was like to be Baby Morgan.
I also enjoyed Robot Odyssey, where you had to program robots to help you escape the sewer. It was awesome. And very very hard.
