Cheap Star Wars: Jar Jar's Journey Adventure Book (Video Games) (Macintosh, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 95) Price

This is one of the many games you can play in Jar Jar's Journey. Each one is clearly narrated and easy to follow. There are plenty of others, including Jar Jar's coloring center, where you can turn your cursor quickly into a paintbrush.

But, if you don't fancy playing any Star Wars-themed games, you can sit back and listen to a story. In his inimitable way, Jar Jar tells you how he was saved by a brave Jedi after the battle-droids tried to take over his planet. Click on underlined words and you hear amusing songs or reveal hidden characters who fly through the air.

As you would expect from George Lucas, this is a high-quality software title. The strong characters, special effects, and richly illustrated designs make this a highly enjoyable game for young Star Wars fans from 4 years up. It's entertaining for adults as well. At the start, Jar Jar sticks out his long tongue and eats an exclamation mark off the computer screen. "It tastes like chicken," he declares with a grin. The lovable creature from the planet Naboo is likely to become the undisputed star of children's CD-ROMs. --Justin Hunt
