Microsoft home The Magic School Bus Explores the Solar System
Windows 3.1 and 95
Ms. Frizzle takes her class, and Arnold's cousin, Janet, on a field trip to the planetarium. But it turns out to instead be a field trip up into outer space to explore the solar system. However, after blasting off, Ms. Frizzle goes missing after the bus gets hit by a meteor shower. She then contacts her class and tells them how to find her. They'll have to play the games on the planets and moons and win tokens. For each token they find, she will give them a clue. After getting three, the player will have to try to guess which planet or moon she's on.
he Magic School Bus Explores the Solar System is the first installment in The Magic School Bus series of PC games.
The Magic School Bus video game series (both original titles and activity centers) are targeted for children ages 5-10.
From Wikipedia:
The Magic School Bus Explores the Solar System
This game is based on both the book The Magic School Bus Lost in the Solar System and episode "The Magic School Bus Gets Lost in Space". The user can fly the bus to any planet he or she chooses and play experiments and click on things there. To win the game, the user has to discover the whereabouts of Ms. Frizzle. To do so they have to play a "whatsit" game to earn a token (for a total of three missing tokens in order to find Ms. Frizzle) which gives them a clue as to which planet Ms. Frizzle is on. Once Ms. Frizzle is found, the bus will return to the classroom and the game begins again. All nine planets, plus the moon can be visited. When the gas giants are visited, the bus lands on one of their moons. The game was one of the chosen few "highly visual scholastic programs" in the Citrus Country library System's new youth CD-ROM station in 1997. The Spokesman-Review deemed it a "fact-and-fun filled ride".
