Zap! Zap! is an educational game in which kids experiment with lasers, electrical gadgets and sound waves. Their goal is to learn all they can about sound, light and electricity to help restore a concert hall called the WonderDome. Three wacky characters, Riff, Surge and Blaze, run the three labs and are always telling puns while they guide the activities. In each lab, kids can play in an open-ended fashion and experiment with things like sound activated robots, circuits and lasers. As they play they earn parts for the WonderDome?s concert hall. The more problems they solve in the labs the more parts they have for the WonderDome. In the WonderDome they can program a show with dancing robots, music and a laser light show. [source:mobygames]
