Kenner Movie Projector

Produced in 1969, the Kenner Battery Operated Real Sound Movie Projector showed actual movies. This set has 3 film cartridges ... the Flintstones, Jonny Quest and Herculoids. A close examination of the lower right corner of the box top in the picture shows what appears to be Jonny Quest (top row) and Dr. Quest (bottom row).

A separately-purchasable Jonny Quest film cartridge was also available. Does anyone know any details regarding its contents? Was this the same film that came with some versions of the movie projector (as shown above), or was it a second, different one?

Jonny Quest: Curse of the Mayan Warriors

Released by Hollyware in 1993.

An MS-DOS role-playing computer game in which Jonny, Hadji, and Bandit must penetrate the mysteries of a Central American jungle to stop a gang of thugs from looting archaeological sites and stealing precious Mayan artifacts. The player controls Jonny's movements and actions; Jonny can interact with the people he meets and use the various objects they discover. While Hadji and Bandit mostly follow Jonny in his travels, they also at times act on their own to help Jonny when he needs it. And when they run up against the bad guys, help is most definitely needed ...


Here are some comments from David Jennings, the game's original developer!

There was also a German version, see images of box and part of the German instructions.

You may be able to play the game in your browser or download it to your PC from myabandonware.com (you can at least look at some good screenshots). While the site looks legit as we write this, there's always a risk that a file is infected. Make sure you've got good anti-virus software and check for reports of malware on the Internet, like on Norton.com.

Mike writes: "You can also find the Hollyware JQ game @ underdogs.cjb.net, but it's sometimes hard to get in as his collection of games is very large, dealing with 'abandonware,' older games that the industry has forgotten." (Thanks, Mike!)

Jonny Quest: "Dr. Zin's Underworld"

A 1991 offering from Hi-Tec Software. It was sold in the U.S. for Commodore-64 computers and released in Europe for the Amstrad CPC and the Sinclair Spectrum (shown here).

Mike writes: "The game comes up with some credits and the official title screen 'Dr. Zin's Underworld'. It runs fine with the PC64win emulator,version 2.14. The share version can be found all over the web (one place that has it is www.vg-network.com, that has emulators for just about any system)." (Thanks for this info, Mike!
