Production[edit]
A Bangor Daily News article hinted that a new series of Arthur video games would be released in fall 1999.[9] In February 1999, The Learning Company announced that it had 'signed an exclusive, multi-year contract with Marc Brown to develop and publish interactive software worldwide'. The aim was to utilise Arthur's equity by 'broadening his visibility in the interactive software category', specifically within the core curriculum areas.[10] The Learning Company announced Arthur's Reading, the first game in the series, in a news release on July 13, 1999. The subject was chosen because 'reading is a natural subject for this lovable character whose nationally televised adventures have become so popular with young children', according to The Learning Company.[11]
The series was 'developed with the help of educators'.[12] Most games have an auto-levelling feature to cater to each player's own skill.
A kid-friendly website was also available for players to seek further activities that supplemented the games' content.[13]
Spyware concerns[edit]
The Congressional Record, V. 146, Pt. 15 wrote that a spyware expert found that educational software such as Reader Rabbit and Arthur's Thinking Games may contain spyware.[14]U.S. News & World Report noted that a cause could be the free Arthur screensaver that players of Arthur's Thinking Games have the option to download.[15]The New York Times reported that the Broadcast program, which ran in the background as an application called DSS Agent, used to be included on the installation discs of many software titles made by The Learning Company, including the Arthur video games; while Arthur's Reading Race 'was billed as a product updater and communications tool'; online privacy groups put it in the category of spyware for this reason.[16]

SuperKids deemed Arthur's Kindergarten an underwhelming entry in the kindergarten edutainment space, due to having 'tedious and overly repetitious' activities.[19]Math and Science for Young Children and Experiences in Math for Young Children suggested that the game could be used within schools.[20][21]Discovery Education said that Arthur's Kindergarten was 'packed with 'smart' features and excellent educational content'.[22]

Teaching Reading in Today's Elementary Schools said that Arthur's 1st Grade was not limited to its target market, but that it could also be adapted for children in higher grades who had special needs.[25] MacWorld said that while Arthur's 1st Grade could be initially overwhelming, it was ultimately rewarding.[26]
Discovery Education deemed Arthur's 2nd Grade 'edutainment at its best'.[27]
The Eugene Register-Guard gave Arthur's Reading four out of four, deeming all of the activities 'well designed, educational, and fun'.[5] The Bangor Daily News said that the game would challenge and engage players of all ages.[9]SuperKids said that the game would leave veteran video gamers 'unimpressed' and 'disappointed'.[28]
MacWorld deemed Arthur's Reading Games an 'amusing, interactive product'.[29]
In 1999, Forbes wrote a piece questioning if wrapping up educational content under the guise of video games featuring children's characters such as Arthur and Dr. Seuss was enough to 'entice parents with the promise of easy learning for their kids'.[30]

12 Angry Men is an American drama film produced in 1957 by first time director Sidney Lumet based on the play 12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose. It is about a jury member who must try to persuade the other 11 members to acquit the suspect on trial on the basis of reasonable doubt. The film is notable for its use of a single set: with the exception of three minutes of screen-time split between the beginning and the end and two short scenes in an adjoining washroom, the entire movie takes place in the jury room.
