Lex the Bookworm is eating his breakfast, a bowl of letters, when suddenly a troubled Mother Goose appears, running and screaming for help while being chased by the Big Bad Wolf.

Bookworm Adventures Volume 2, like its predecessor, is a spelling game with light RPG elements.

Words have to be three-letter long at least, and Lex interjections like "Very Good" and "Excellent" indicate how powerful they are. [source : Mobygames]
