Schoolhouse Rock!: Grammar Rock

Developer: The Cute Company
Publisher: Creative Wonders
Platforms: Mac OS Classic, Windows
Released in US: October 1995

Unused Minigame

Hmmm...
To do:
See if the two errors can be fixed to make it playable.

An unused pinball minigame titled "Grammar Slammer" is present in /OFFSTAGE/GRAMSLAM.DIR. Loading it into the game by swapping its name with one of the used games will make its Game Over animation play and then only the background will be visible. Two errors will display:

Script error: XLib file not found
Script error: Handler not defined #ghandle

Development Text

Some of the game's code includes notes for developers.

A comment in START.DIR, which deals with the game's startup.

instpath is set in the start.dir. it is composed by using the 
the config.cfg file created during the installation on the
ibm. So don't expect it on the mac (besides, the mac tries to 
save to the system:preferences folder

IBMSTART.DIR, which deals with the startup on IBM machines. A comment for when the machine type is 256:

Do the Hoky Pokey

Comments for if the game is being played from a CD instead of an installed version:

we are using this off of the cd
assume save path = c:/cwonders/grammar
find that damn cd
