Description

"Baba Yaga and the Magic Geese" is the second part of the "Magic Tales" series. It is based on Russian folklore and tells the story of a girl, Tasha, whose little brother Niki is kidnapped by magic geese for the evil witch Baba Yaga. When Tasha gets him out of Baba Yaga's hut, they receive magical help from a stream of milk, an apple tree and an oven, which allows them to escape and safely return home, while the evil witch lands on a lonely island.

The "Magic Tales" series includes six interactive storybooks, based on fairy tales from different parts of the world. They are all framed as stories read by Grandpa Mouse to his grandchildren. Each story consists of twelve pages and if "Play" mode is selected, the player can also click on different parts of the scenery to see what will happen.

Screenshots

Magic Tales: Baba Yaga and the Magic Geese Windows Tasha has found Baba Yaga's hut. The scenery reminds me a little of "King's Quest 7" - hmm, unless I'm mistaken, Animation Magic had something to do with that game as well...

Magic Tales: Baba Yaga and the Magic Geese Windows The screenshot with the oven was the least interesting one. Anyway, the oven actively deceived Baba Yaga and here's where it made her go...

Magic Tales: Baba Yaga and the Magic Geese Windows Baba Yaga is too lazy to walk long distances and insists that her geese carry her. Given the size difference, it's not a particularly good idea...

Magic Tales: Baba Yaga and the Magic Geese Windows The games are supposed to teach children a moral. How about this: "Provided that everything ends well, you will be excused for any disobedient and simply dangerous behaviour!"?
