I.M. Meen
The eponymous villain of the game I.M. Meen has a serious pet peeve– he can’t
stand it when children study. Thus, he creates a magical book that, when read,
traps children in Meen’s evil labyrinth. As the player, you assume the role of
one of 2 new children trapped in the maze. Your mission is to free the other
children imprisoned in this dungeon and find a way out for yourself. As you
walk around the first-person perspective maze, you will encounter a number of
fearsome monsters to make your quest difficult. However, you have the ability
to punch the enemies. There are also other magical offensive weapons that you
find throughout the game. Plus, I.M. Meen’s sidekick gnome, Gnick, has
betrayed his master and is offering you assistance where possible.
The educational aspect of this game involves completing miniature assignments
in order to free imprisoned children. For example, a letter from Gnick to Meen
is displayed along with the instructions to correct the 2 punctuation errors
contained in the text. Once the player successfully completes the task, a
fellow captured child is freed.
