'''Through the Dragon's Eye''' is an [[educational]] game, which was developed by [[Longman Logotron]] for [[BBC Enterprises]] (known as '''BBC Worldwide''' since [[1995]]) and released to British primary schools for the [[BBC Micro]] in [[1989]]; it is based on the thirteenth serial of the BBC's drama series [[Look and Read]], and the player is guided through it by the eponymous dragon Gorwen (taking on the Wordy role from [[Geordie Racer]]). It also requires Watford Electronics [[wp:Disc Filing System|DFS]] version 1.30 or 1.44 (or Acorn DFS version 2.26) to finish, as it asks the player to insert its second disk and press Enter to proceed to its second part after the fifth challenge's intro - and the player must also remember the Book Tree's passwords. | '''Through the Dragon's Eye''' is an [[educational]] game, which was developed by [[Longman Logotron]] for [[BBC Enterprises]] (known as '''BBC Worldwide''' since [[1995]]) and released to British primary schools for the [[BBC Micro]] in [[1989]]; it is based on the thirteenth serial of the BBC's drama series [[Look and Read]], and the player is guided through it by the eponymous dragon Gorwen (taking on the Wordy role from [[Geordie Racer]]).
