Talk:Living Books

I personally handled the localization of Living Books when I worked there as an Art Technician. Tortoise and the Hare was indeed localized, but the localized versions were never sold in the U.S. as far as I know. We did them in German, French, and British English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.23.39 (talk) 07:21, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

NOTES: † = Only English is available as a language for that Living Books Program. Just Grandma and Me is the only Living Books Program to have more than 2 languages. Many Living books were converted into Japanese as well and they sold very well in Japan.

LIES! I have The Tortoise and The Hare in English and Spanish, and it includes demos in the CD for other Living Books games which are all in more than three languages.

I'm not sure if anyone keeps this page up to date, but I swear on my own grave that there was a system (a video game system) made exclusively for point-'n-click games. In fact, we even had the game "My Grandma and Me" for this system. But I cannot seem to find ANYTHING on the Internet that says there was such a system. It also had other point-'n-click games, like a Haunting game (something about going around a house, checking under the bed for clues, etc), a camera game (taking pictures of the zoo wildlife)...

Someone HAS to know what I'm talking about. This system took CDs and the controllers were wireless (you had to aim them just right at the receiver or else your input wouldn't go through)... I think it's mascot was some kind of hero Chicken or something...

Please. Please. PLEASE someone help me out and we can update Wikipedia with our information. I can't even find the system's listing on GameFAQs.com... My family couldn't have been hallucinating, there had to be more than one of these around!

Are you talking about the VIS system? I remember having one in the mid-90's, and the mascot was an owl locked in a cage, and you had to push a button to let him out, and if you didn't, a worm would show up and do it.

It featyred a lot of previews of other things, with Sam the owl getting in on it inbetween.

It also came with a bonus game called "SpaceNuts," which was a shooter that you had to fire at this huge mouth/vulva thing at the end.

Is this what you're referring to? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.206.69.158 (talk) 20:52, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I've never heard of a game system designed specifically for point and click adventures, but you can take a look at this list if you haven't.

So, about The Art Lesson... I can now confirm it, it's definitely not a Living Book: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Mohawk/Games#Not_Living_Books

It makes it all the more puzzling as to why it was even part of that compilation to begin with.

Proposed merge of Wanderful Interactive Storybooks into Living Books
I have written a comprehensive article for Living Books which I believe makes this article redundant. Coin945 (talk) 01:12, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I think it's fair to say that you can be bold and complete this merge. – Rhain  ☔ 06:40, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

As the Founder of Wanderful Interactive Storybooks, I think you have created a wonderful page for Living Books that fully captures their history.

And while you incorporated much of the content on our (copyrighted) Wanderfulstorybooks.com website, you have NOT incorporated all of the information and believe that having BOTH entries on Widipedia will help avoid confusion about the Wanderful products and history.

 * Hi Mickey, nice to meet you! Thank you for your kind words on my 'wanderful' (haha) page. If there's any other info you think I should include in the Living Books article, let me know.--Coin945 (talk) 23:20, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
