Hello everyone, did you know Just Grandma and Me had a Memorex Tandy Video Information System version? It had some differences:
- It has a smaller 320x200 resolution.
- The Living Books intro has immediately cuts to "PRESENTS" after the Living Book's face winks its eye (this version was later carried into the Philips CD-i version of Little Monster at School but with different quality to the music).
- The Options page lacks the Previews button (the preview for Arthur's Teacher Trouble is only found in the files in this case) and Critter's "And then click OK!" line was absent.
- In the credits, the dragon's mouth doesn't move when he clears his throat while tapping the wizard's sleeve, and the music animation also plays in the same length as if it were in the Macintosh format of the game (this is where you can now hear the entire trombone song that played like the music in the Programmer animation) and the cellist's tongue was visible while he says, "Alright!"
This version is now extinct and can't be ordered from eBay, and the link that had the files for this version is now dead. Could the VIS version of Just Grandma and Me be lost media?
