Indeed he's the ideal choice to look at this fun-filled educational release from Gremlin. So put on your kinky boots and walk this way...\r\n\r\nGremlin\r\n£10.99, £15.99 disk\r\n\r\nWe at CRASH are usually far too busy to pop home for Childrens BBC (more's the pity). But whenever I get the chance to escape, there's nothing I like more than to settle down in front of The Shoe People.\r\n\r\nThis delightful cartoon for younger children (and regressive adults such as myself) stars a whole community of footwear. There's all kinds of boots and shoes bizzying around the place, from Sid Slipper to PC Boot, and all the favourite characters have survived computerisation in this educational collection of games for the 4-6 age group.\r\n\r\nPUT THE BOOT IN\r\n\r\nThe five games are watched over by PC Boot, who tells you if you're right or wrong and helps out in various ways. The first stars that scruffy old boot, Trampy.\r\n\r\nIt's a lovely day and he fancies visiting his pals. However, as he saunters along the lane, he finds some fool's scattered objects all over the place. Apparently they've fallen off the back of a lorry (officer). Unsurprisingly, PC Boot has a few questions to ask.\r\n\r\nIdentifying objects, spelling and counting are all part of the fun, and there's an easy/hard option for different ages. If you and Trampy get all the questions right (clever cloggs - hew haw!), Trampy'll see his friend in a cute graphic sequence. If he gets some wrong then his pal will probably have gone out by the time he turns up (altogether now, ehhh!).\r\n\r\nSNEAKY THIEF\r\n\r\nThe next activity involves Sgt-Major Boot. He's a bit cheesed off because Baby Bootee has knocked everything off his cupboard shelves. The good old Boot decides to make a game of it, though, and asks the little chap to sort out the mess. You select and match colours, shapes, patterns etc.\r\n\r\nThe Great Alphabet Robbery stars dastardly tea-leaf Sneaker, who's been stealing words. Fortunately, PC Boot nicks him. But when the words come out the SWAG bag, they're all mixed up! You've got to descramble the anagram to get Sneaker locked up.\r\n\r\nWellington Goes To The Park is a mathematical game, and consequently proved itself a serious challenge to the CRASH team. It's basically a case of balancing numbers on a see-saw.\r\n\r\nFinally, Charlie's Big Day stars Charlie the clown (no, not the CRASH arty person!) who's putting on a show for all of Shoe Town. You've got to watch his repealing sequence of circus tricks closely then predict which one he'll perform next.\r\n\r\nGRAPHICS GALORE\r\n\r\nAll the First Class challenges are very pretty and the characters look just like their TV counterparts. Each activity's intelligently put together to make learning easy. You usually only have to use two keys and the speed's about right for younger children.\r\n\r\nThe screen's never dull, the shoes are super cute and the reward sequences when a game's completed are impressive (and funny). Each activity becomes progressively difficult, ensuring a continued challenge for older children.\r\n\r\nAnd if you flip the disk/cassette over, there's Margot's Magic Colouring Book to add yet further fun! It's a very simple but enjoyable painting and drawing program, in the same clear and pretty style.\r\n\r\nThis collection's extremely well put together. Parents and teachers will find their kids love it - and learn from it.\r\n\r\nALAN 90%","ReviewerComments":["There weren't shoes plodding around on TV when I was a nipper, but then I had such classics as Mr Ben and Roobarb and Custard to take their place! Having seen a couple of Shoe People episodes on video, I can see what I was missing out on! The characters are great, with silly expressions and, oddly, all made out of shoes! Gremlin have made a great job of the computer version. Educational software has been around on the Spectrum for years, but it's appealing characters like the ones in First Class that keep the nippers interested. The programmers have hit the nail on the head with lots of brilliant graphics and animation, and even a simple graphic editor for the kids to have a bash at drawing themselves!

I just put them away in my wardrobe and completely forget about them. I might take more notice of them if they spoke and did sums. Which, as it happens, is what the Shoe People are dead good at.\r\n\r\nThe Shoe People is Gremlin's first release on First Class, their new educational label which is aimed at four to six year olds. And its a bit of a beauty. There are six separate programs here, and each one has two or more sub-sections. The programs are fun and colourful, yet incredibly educational as each one fits in with National Curriculum guidelines. Let's take a look at the games...\r\n\r\nTRAMPY VISITS HIS FRIENDS\r\n\r\nTrampy comes across loads of strange things lying in the road. At the easiest level children nave to match the first letter of the object with one of the letters at the bottom of the screen. At the hardest level, the word appears on screen for a few seconds and then disappears and the child then has to spell the word.\r\n\r\nSGT MAJOR SORTS IT OUT\r\n\r\nNaughty Baby Bootee has messed up Sgt Major's shell. His coloured shapes are scattered all over the floor and the child has to tell Sgt Major where to put the shapes. The idea is to have all one shape on one shelf and all of another on another shelf.\r\n\r\nTHE GREAT ALPHABET ROBBERY\r\n\r\nThere's a nasty thief trying to steal the alphabet, to help PC Boot the child has to work out what letters the words begin with and, on later levels unscramble simple anagrams.\r\n\r\nWELLINGTON GOES TO THE PARK\r\n\r\nOn one end of the see saw there are a number of blocks. Count the blocks and choose the right number to balance the two ends of the see-saw. At the more difficult level the child has to add up the values of two dice and balance the see-saw with the right number. Get it right and Wellington jumps in a puddle.\r\n\r\nCHARLIE'S BIG DAY\r\n\r\nCharlie has a whole caboodle of tricks and the child has to remember what order he does his tricks in and, on the later levels, follow the pattern and predict what trick comes next. Each time the child gets it right, Charlie will add another trick\r\n\r\nMARGOT'S MAGIC COLOURING BOOK\r\n\r\nThere are two options here - drawing or colouring in. On the latter, there's a choice of pictures and using the menu bar at the side the child can colour them in. Using the drawing book all manner Of patterns, doodles and complete messes can now be transported onto the TV screen.\r\n\r\nNow I'm quite a lot older than six, but even I had fun with these programs - especially the drawing one. I've been laughed out of the office for my lush and gorge designs, but hey! I think they're ace. Mind you, I did get a bit lost whenever Charlie did more than four tricks. For the recommended age group, The Shoe People make letters and numbers seem like a good way of passing the time.

They're a problem, aren't they, readers? Take the manual for The Shoe People for example. Filled with errors, it is - and most of them involving apostrophes. Education, eh? It's a marvel. (And yet the authors of the manual manage to spell correctly the fantastically obscure 'artefact'. It's a mystery.)\r\n\r\nFive games (and a drawing program) go to make up Shoe Peeps. Cunningly designed to teach you about shape-recognition, spelling and maths without you quite realising it, the games have a very high standard of graphics. Hurrah, eh? in the first game, Trampy Visits His Friends, you play the lovable, rascally down-and-out who has a cheery word for everyone (spot the lack of social realism). It's an all-sorts sort of game (of sorts) - you have to match shapes and spell words depending on which Shoe Person you want to visit. Good fun, but it drags on a little. Sgt Major Sorts it Out has you putting various coloured boxes on to various coloured shelves as dictated by a loony baby, and lacks variety. (When you've seen one box, you seen 'em all.)\r\n\r\nThe Great Alphabet Robbery is brilliant. You have to solve anagrams to prevent Sneaker from making off with the alphabet. (It took me ages to realise 'pehse' was 'sheep'so that's the end of my junior school career.) Ha! Love it. The next game features Wellington (the chap from The Perishers) (Erm, no it isn't. Ed) who's jumping in a puddle. Lots of maths here, but fortunately no expressions in terms of 'n' which were always my problem. Finally (and best of all) there's Charlies Big Day. (Those apostrophes, eh?)You have to watch Charlie perform some feats of manual dexterity and stuff, then copy him. It's Simon, basically, and although it starts slowly, once you've got more than four tricks to keep track of things get incredibly hectic. (Far better than Triv for destroying disastrous parties anyway.)\r\n\r\nOn the flip-side of the tape (or the disk) is Margot's Colouring Book, a basic paint prog. You can draw loads of straight lines or colour in some pre-drawn pics. The latter option's the most impressive as they're all craftily designed to avoid colour clash. It's not that much of a grand finale, but more of a gentle reintroduction to reality (or something of that ilk).\r\n\r\nThe Shoe People is a staggeringly good collection of educational games, with a so-so paint prog chucked in as well. The only prob I had was that the bits when you fail are as good (if not better) than the animations when you win. For example, when Charlie completes a trick he bows but when he fails, a huge bucket of water gets emptied over him. (Come on. which one would you rather see?) Apart from that, it's just about perfect. Roll on Return of the Shoe People (or Revenge, or whatever).","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"","Page":"45","Denied":false,"Award":"Not Awarded","Reviewers":[{"Name":"Jonathan Nash","Score":"88","ScoreSuffix":"%"}],"ScreenshotText":[{"Text":"Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
