CrashBangWallop!3 CrashBangWallop!3 is the third entry in a series of cause-and-effect games which are specifically designed for the youngest of users out there. Its very simplified game play allows children who didn't even celebrate their first birthday to play it, because being able to sit and having the power to somehow hit the keyboard is enough to have fun with this game. Older children can also play this game and practice a little reading, though.

The basic game play hasn't changed much when compared to its predecessors. A colorful picture with a one word caption is assigned to every alphabet key of the keyboard, the picture showing something that starts with the letter it is assigned to. If a character key is pressed, the related picture will be shown and an appropriate sound will be played. If other keys than the alphabet ones are hit, the game will only play a funny sound effect - and not change the color of the picture's frame any more like the previous game did. And that's about it.

The most notable change within this incarnation of the series is the addition of four new languages beside the English one: German, French, Spanish and Italian. The language can be switched at any time during game play. The author couldn't fill the whole alphabet in each language with pictures, sounds and words, but created a place holder asking for suggestions of the audience instead. [source:mobygames]
