The irrepressible Scooby Doo and the gang deserve outstanding
treatment on CD-ROM. This mystery adventure, along with the other
title in the series Phantom of the Knight, do the
series justice. In Showdown in Ghost Town, kids join
Scooby and friends in Los Burritos,  a
"haunted" ghost town. By the looks of it, there is a
Faceless Rider haunting the town, and kids must collect clues in
order to solve this mystery. Any fan of the show knows that
appearances can be deceiving, of course. In order to get to the
bottom of all the spookiness, kids must perform a number of fun
tasks. First things first, where are those moaning sounds coming
from? It seems that none other than the Faceless Rider has tied up
Parents will enjoy the nostalgia as the television show is
captured in all its groovy glory on the computer screen, and,
because Scooby Doo is almost as popular now as it was a couple
decades ago, their children will simply enjoy plunking themselves
right in the middle of a popular show. The Learning Company has
thoughtfully added three difficulty levels that will take care of
the different skill levels of a wide age range of children. Though
entertaining from start to finish, there’s just the right amount
of brain-building exercises interspersed throughout the program to
keep parents pleased. Fun, though challenging. A little bonus is
included on the CD-ROM and shouldn’t be missed – a video that
shows the making of the software title will give children an idea
of some of the effort that goes into the final product.
