THREE TIMES THE THOMAS

The game now departing Mindscape studios is the much-anticipated release of Thomas and Friends: Triple Pack, destination PC. Please note that bicycles cannot be conveyed on this service.

Legendary children's favourite, Thomas The Tank Engine, is back in three new adventures to educate and entertain young Fat Controllers, and the thin ones too. The Thomas and Friends: Triple Pack features Building the New Line, a challenge to prepare the new train line in time for its grand opening by laying the new tracks, cleaning and decorating the engines, completing the mini games, then watching your hard work unfold as your creation comes to life before you.

The second title, Trouble on The Tracks, sees James derailed and crashed on his side while going to fetch a delivery of coal. Can he be recovered and repaired in time for the evening passenger run? Eight different early learning tasks must be completed in order to rescue him, all of which have printable certificates of achievement.

Finally, in The Great Festival Adventure, players can help Thomas and his friends prepare for the big festival on the Island of Sodor. The title features seven engaging activities, each with printable certificates of achievement, designed to offer entertainment and basic pre-school learning to young players, as well as exclusively filmed video footage of Thomas and the rest of his steam powered gang in action.

Thomas and Friends: Triple Pack is available now from www.mindscape.co.uk and all good PC software outlets, priced £14.99.
