About The Jetsons' Ways with Words
Learn spelling and reading in Hanna-Barbera's "Jetsons" universe! Fly George Jetson's spacecraft around a network of platforms to collect up letters that form a word. The letters drift around the network, and will even try to get away from your spaceship when you get close. When you touch the right letter in the right order, you earn points, but touch a letter that doesn't belong and you lose them. If you collect letters out of order you don't earn as many points. On the higher levels you also have to dodge robots and satellites, which cost more points if you hit them.

An educational spelling title that needs the ECS keyboard and costs accordingly.
The Jetsons' Ways With Words is one of Mattel's 1983 ECS computer cartridges, made with its Educational Product Department. It is an educational title, and it needs the Entertainment Computer System adapter, so a plain console will not run it.
Today it matters mostly to collectors who want the full ECS set.
How it was made
Developed by Mattel Electronics with its Educational Product Department, released in 1983.
Before you buy
Requires the ECS adapter, so you will need that hardware or a seller who can show it working. It is among the pricier carts in the library, and a boxed copy sells for several times a loose cart.
