Playtime is coming on CD-ROM
BBC Multimedia is publishing a PC games collection based on a range of high profile children's TV characters.
The Fimbles, Tweenies, Pingu, and Engie Benjy, join the characters from Balamory and Tiny Planets on the PC CD-ROM.
The title, available from February 27, brings together mini-games from some of BBC Multimedia's award-winning children's software under the Playtime umbrella brand.
As well as featuring games for children aged two to six, the software incorporates a print package and a video browser, giving children the chance to enjoy a range of clips from each of the featured TV shows.
Andy Johnson, BBC Multimedia's Director of Sales & Marketing, said: "This compilation brings together some of our best children's products. It's attracted great interest from our retail partners - software chains, independents and supermarkets alike - and I expect it to be popular with consumers in the run up to Easter and beyond."
