You need to control Donald Duck and the main goal of the game is for you to earn as much money as you possibly can so that you can build a nice playground for your nephews.

You need to control Donald Duck and the main goal of the game is for you to earn as much money as you possibly can so that you can build a nice playground for your nephews. You will earn money by taking on different jobs at the following places: the railroad, the airport, the toy shop and the green grocers.
At the railroad, your job will be to control the switches of the train tracks. You will earn money from the cargo that is delivered to the right city. Your job is to make sure that
the cargo trains can pick up the cargo and deliver them to the correct city. Your earnings will be 15 cents for every successful delivery.
At the airport, Donald once again is responsible for sorting items out. This time he needs to sort the cargo from the conveyor belt. He needs to put each cargo on the corresponding cargo van that will take it to the right airport in the United States. Donald will earn 3 cents for every cargo that he sorts out.
At the green grocers, you will earn money by sorting the vegetables delivered to the store by a truck. The vegetables will be thrown to Donald from the truck and he has to sort the vegetables in three boxes, one for each kind of vegetable—Watermelon, Pumpkin and Cantaloupe. Sorting the vegetables will allow Donald to earn one cent for every vegetable sorted. If Donald puts a vegetable at the wrong box, the vegetable will be crushed and he won’t be earning money for his mistake.
When working at the toy shop, your main goal is to arrange the toys released from a conveyor belt onto the shelf. As an added challenge, a train will pass on a nearby railroad and will cause the toys to fall off the shelf. Your goal is to choose the right shelf to put the toys on that will not be affected by the passing train.
The game has three difficulty levels and the differences lie in the amount of money that you can earn.
This game is extremely fun and deserves to be downloaded and kept in your hard drive. It’s straight forward and simple but it is fast-paced and very fun. This is definitely one of my favourite games, because it’s not complicated or frustrating.
