''Learn Television'' first released the 1991 educational comedy movie "The Mind's Treasure Chest". It won several awards, but according to Harry Gottlieb in an interview, it was never used in its intended purpose, mostly being used as something to distract the students while teachers grade their stuff. | ||
A friend of Harry, called Dean Blackadder, gave the idea and motivation to make "That's a Fact, Jack!". Around the same time the mockup was finished, another friend from ''Berkeley Systems'', called Ivor Gasowski, tried encouraging Harry to make something like TFJ but with adult humor.<ref>https://www.cbr.com/interview-jackbox-harry-gottlieb-mike-bilder/ (Thanks AnnaBanna06.)</ref> Then in 1994, Gottlieb founded the company ''Jellyvision'', a video game development company. | |||

Since the games were never sold for retail and only targetted at schools and libraries, all 45 titles are lost. The only things that remain of the game itself are [https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.jellyvision.com/showroom/tfj/* these screenshots] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmmXA0-BL4A this demo video] which was taken from [https://web.archive.org/web/20071009142619/http://www.jellyvision.com/showroom/tfj/pages/TFJController.swf this flash file.] Only 2 discs have actual images online, showcased in the gallery. | |||
Since they're more | Since they're more up to date, as well as for the sake of simplicity, the following list will use ''Tom Snyder's'' titles. You may feel free to read up on ''Follett's'' titles [https://web.archive.org/web/19991103034118/http://www.jellyvision.com/stuff/tfj/titles.html here.] | ||
This list includes the names of the CDs, the books that were covered, and its availability status, as well as a WorldCat link to the CD if it's listed in a school or a library. This list isn't definitive, and may be updated at any time with new libraries/schools or new discoveries. This list is also as accurate as WorldCat is, so its status could be incorrect. | |||

Revision as of 13:11, 1 May 2024
That's a Fact, Jack!, also known as That's a Fact, Jack! Read and TFJ, is a 1990s interactive edutainment CD-ROM game made for grades 3-10. The game takes 5/10[1] school books and turns them into game-show styled questions to test the students' reading and thinking skills using writing questions, inferential questions, hypothetical questions, and "Use It or Lose It", which is basically a true-or-false question.[2][3]
This game is accompanied by a host called Jack Patterson (acted and voiced by Patrick Heupel)[4] who talks in a way that interacted with the students realistically. The game was a fan favourite among students and teachers[5] and won awards in its time,[6] however it did get criticized for a lot of things, namely its price, lengthy commentary and lack of customization.[7][8]
History
In 1989, Harry Gottlieb founded Learn Television, an educational learning company. Learn Television first released the 1991 educational comedy movie "The Mind's Treasure Chest". It won several awards, but according to Harry Gottlieb in an interview, it was never used in its intended purpose, mostly being used as something to distract the students while teachers grade their stuff.
A friend of Harry, called Dean Blackadder, gave the idea and motivation to make "That's a Fact, Jack!". Around the same time the mockup was finished, another friend from Berkeley Systems, called Ivor Gasowski, tried encouraging Harry to make something like TFJ but with adult humor.[9] Then in 1994, Gottlieb founded the company Jellyvision, a video game development company.
Learn Television partnered with Follett Software Company to create "That's a Fact, Jack!" for Macintosh systems.[10] At the same time, Jellyvision partnered with Berkeley Systems to make "You Don't Know Jack" for Windows and Macintosh systems. Both games were in development simultaneously, but YDKJ released in September 1995, and TFJ released in April 1996.[11]
TFJ first released with around 25 books covered.[12] Later down the line, Follett Software Company gave the distribution rights to Tom Snyder Productions at January 29th, 1999,[13] after around 300 books were covered and a total of 60 CDs were released.[14] After the change of distribution rights, the title got changed to "That's a Fact, Jack! Read", the game got releases on Windows systems and the CDs were reissued with new logos and 10 books covered per CD instead of just 5. Afterwards, 150 more books were covered and the amount of released CDs shrinked to just 45 CDs.[15] There were plans for Tom Snyder Productions to make 100 more titles, but that never happened.[16]
Tom Snyder Productions got acquired by Scholastic Productions in January 8th, 2002.[17] Later in 2003, Tom Snyder started selling TFJ copies at a 90% discount up until December 31st, 2003, and after that, the games would be shelved indefinitely.[18]
Availability
Since the games were never sold for retail and only targetted at schools and libraries, all 45 titles are lost. The only things that remain of the game itself are these screenshots and this demo video which was taken from this flash file. Only 2 discs have actual images online, showcased in the gallery.
Since they're more up to date, as well as for the sake of simplicity, the following list will use Tom Snyder's titles. You may feel free to read up on Follett's titles here.
This list includes the names of the CDs, the books that were covered, and its availability status, as well as a WorldCat link to the CD if it's listed in a school or a library. This list isn't definitive, and may be updated at any time with new libraries/schools or new discoveries. This list is also as accurate as WorldCat is, so its status could be incorrect.
