THE GIDDY GAME SHOW
===================

If you and your children are already fans of Yorkshire Television’s The Giddy Game Show, then you’ll need no 
introduction to the characters who appear in it.

If you haven’t discovered it, here they are:

Giddy is a lovable little space visitor who rides on a magic wand.
Gus is a very clever professor who teaches Giddy about our world.
Gorilla is a large and greedy fellow who helps with the teaching.
Princess Galaxzena is a fellow space traveller with a taste for adventure!

The four games in this computer program are designed to help your children learn to recognise letters of the 
alphabet and associate them with simple, everyday objects. Giddy’s written a little storybook to help you talk your 
children through the games, too. Have fun!


This program runs on the Spectrum 48K computer. Games 1 and 2 are on Side A of the tape, and Games 3 and 4 are on 
Side B.
