Description

Reading Galaxy is an updated version of a previous Brøderbund title, Alien Tales, with improved graphics; it was also made part of the Active Mind Series, alongside titles such as Logical Journey of the Zoombinis. The game features a game show called Alien Tales, in which the player answers questions about classic children's books to demonstrate that they were written by Earthling authors rather than the aliens laying claim to their creation.

It was later included as a bonus game in the Time Pilot's Gift Set edition of Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego?
