Word Rescue is an educational platform DOS game written by Karen Crowther (Chun) of Redwood Games and released by Apogee Software in March 1992. It was re-released in 2015 for Steam with support for Windows and Mac OS. The game can also allow the player interact with a pair of Stereoscopic Vision Glasses.[1]
Like many Apogee games of the time, Word Rescue includes three episodes, with only the first episode playable in the shareware version.
Apogee still sells the registered version of this game.[1]
A companion game with similar gameplay, Math Rescue, was released in October 1992, while a sequel, Word Rescue Plus, was released in 1993.
