Marty And The Trouble With Cheese

Marty And The Trouble With Cheese is a video game in the educational genre developed by Elliott Portwood Productions and published by Maxis Software Inc. originally released in 1995. It is currently playable on Windows 3.x.

Marty And The Trouble With Cheese is an interactive storybook for preschoolers. The game is interactive, not because it has hot spots that the child can click on, but because it comes with a microphone and at various points in the story the child can speak/shout at the screen.

In a big old house, underneath the grandfather clock is a hole; that's where Marty and his family live in their little mouse house. The story is set on Marty's birthday, who volunteers to go to the big house kitchen to get some cheese. However, when he gets it a crow steals it, Marty hunts him down and from there the story unfolds. During the story, Marty will cross a river with the help of some frogs, meet a chameleon and try to avoid the house cat.

The main menu has three options for children: Tell the story: Here the story is played as a cartoon, with the narrator telling the story and the characters talking to each other, etc. Let's Play: This mode starts the same as 'Tell the story', but there are points where the child interacts through the microphone. One of the first is when Marty has to be woken up, if the microphone does not work the player cannot advance in the game.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
