Arthur's Computer Adventure

Arthur's Computer Adventure is an interactive, animated adaptation of Marc Brown’s storybook Arthur's Computer Disaster. Arthur is excited to play Deep Dark Sea, a computer game about sunken ships, skeletons, ghosts and sharks. Although his mother tells him she needs the computer and that he must not touch it, Arthur and his friend Buster play while she is at work. They argue over whose turn it is and accidentally break the computer; Arthur must find a way to fix the mess before his mother gets home.
