Mixed-Up Mother Goose Deluxe (1995) - MobyGames (2025)

Graphically, the game has a new set of graphics, and every bit of scenery does not look washed out like in the CD/Disk version. The interface is similar to the one in the previous game, only the icons are rearranged. The highlight is the world map which not only can be used for navigation, but you can even use it to hear different rhymes again. This map is more detailed instead of looking bland. It is “greener”, and each character is plastered onto it as soon as you complete their nursery rhyme. The character sprites remain the same.

In the sound department, a catchy theme tune replaces the one in the previous versions of Mother Goose, and this tune can be heard throughout the game. When you enter your name, the game treats it as if you are playing the xylophone. The nursery rhymes themselves are delivered in several styles rather than the standard melodies we got used to. I definitely love the rap version of “Little Bo Peep”. Voice actors were also reused for every character in the deluxe version. In fact, these voice actors are even credited!

The Bad
There are no bad points I had with the game.

The Bottom Line
In conclusion, Mother Goose Deluxe is a great game that Sierra released in the mid-Nineties. It is similar to the last version released, with most of the assets from that game reused here. There are some differences, and these lie in the music in the game. Each nursery rhyme is delivered in a certain style, and there is new theme music as well. The animations are brilliant, with each character performing the action as described in the rhyme. There are many versions of Mixed-Up Mother Goose, and if you played most of them, it won’t hurt to give this one a try.
