Gameplay

This was a construction game for kids, where they watched videos and then got to "operate" heavy machinery on a construction site. This includes a steamroller, a wrecking ball, an excavator and a bulldozer.[4]

Production

The project was produced by Digital Pictures, directed by Heidi Holman and starred Larry Grennan, Scott McClain and Robin Joss. It was programmed by Richard Levine from a concept by Kevin Welsh.[4]

Reception

Kids on Site was awarded the "1995 Parents Choice Approval Award" and CD-ROM Magazine said it "captured all of the fun of playing with heavy machinery with the added advantage that your kids... won't come home full of dirt."[5]
