McGee

Описание: "McGee" for DOS refers to a series of simple, wordless educational games for preschoolers (ages 2-6), featuring a child protagonist exploring his home or a funfair, interacting with objects via mouse clicks for discovery, with titles like the original McGee and McGee at the Fun Fair, contrasting with the later, darker platformer American McGee's Alice. The core McGee games focused on computer literacy, featuring charming animations and no specific goals, making them accessible for solo play.
