Description

"Sesame Street: Big Bird's Hide & Speak" is a video game developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), released in 1990. Focused on children and educational gameplay, it was one of the first console games specifically designed to engage young players in interactive learning activities. The game features the beloved character Big Bird from the iconic Sesame Street TV series, and is aimed at helping young children develop early reading and recognition skills through fun and engaging mini-games.

In the game, players are greeted by an animated Big Bird who guides them through various challenges. The primary objective is to find characters from Sesame Street who are hiding on the screen. After identifying the correct character, children are then asked to match words to pictures, identify letters, and spell simple words, all voiced by Big Bird. The game uses a combination of visuals and speech—an innovative feature at the time, as it was one of the first NES games to include digitized speech. "Big Bird's Hide & Speak" was designed by RSP Inc. and published by Hi Tech Expressions, and stands out as an early example of educational gaming in an era dominated largely by more traditional video games.
