    I can't believe a full playthrough of the color version doesn't exist. I, like everybody else, have been trying to remember what game this was for YEARS. I'm in my thirties now, wtf happened? Thank you for the upload, though

    Man, I remember trying to fill that castle with as much crap as I could during the hour we had in the computer lab during my elementary school days. Would love to see a full game-play of this sometime, with all the maze-running characters.

      Same deal, this game was at least 10 years old when we were playing it in the early 2000s. Our computer lab had the color version of this game, along with the original KidPix, and this mouse practice game that took place in the ocean.

    I see the other comments are basically saying what I will, but: This is the first video game I played. Ever. At a Shelter for Women and Children, they had a few Macs and you got to go in there in the mornings. I have been on a kind of journey trying to recall the name for actual decades and finally found this video. Thank You for uploading this!

    So judging from the comments other then the Challenge version this version is not for Windows? I've been looking for a very long time I'm beginning to believe that is version of the game never exist for Windows? I can only ever find the Mac Version of this. If the Windows version does exist it's a real shame it's looking like lost media at this point since it can't be found any where's it seems?
    Also for people who don't possibly know this the Color version is on Mac as well. It wasn't just for the supposed Windows version that can't seem to be found any where's.
