Two great titles based on the television series; Blue's Clues; Blue's Birthday Adventure and Blue's ABC Time Activities. In a breakthrough in CD-ROM technology, Blues Clues incorporates a live-action host. Move the collage puppy Blue and a video image of the real-life host chases her. Just how they have created this I'm still researching but we're bound to see a lot more of this amazing technique in future. The games offer plenty of items to explore, discover and entertain.
