"Richard Scarry's Busytown" is a Sega Genesis and MS-DOS game that was released for a younger generation of gamers. The game consists of an interactive story book that was written by Richard Scarry. Most of the game is spent exploring Busy Town looking for things to interact with using either the gamepad or a special mouse that could be purchased separately from the game and the console system. Young gamers will do everything from building things to delivering something to repair a ship. Games are relatively short and can be finished in about an hour. Familiar faces from Richard Scarry's works of literature include "Huckle Cat" and "Lowly Worm" [cite web | url = http://www.sega-16.com/review_page.php?id=713&title=Richard%20Scarry's%20Busytown| title = Game summary | publisher = Sega-16| date = | accessdate = 2008-10-01] .
