Tuneland is a fun computer game made for kids. It came out in 1993. The game is about a cartoon character named Little Howie. He goes on an adventure around Old McDonald's Farm. A famous TV star, Howie Mandel, is the voice of Little Howie.

After Tuneland, more games were made in the Lil' Howie series. These included Lil' Howie's Great Word Adventure, Lil' Howie's Great Math Adventure, and Lil' Howie's Great Reading Adventure. These games won many awards, 36 in total!

There are eight different places you can visit in the game:

• The barn
• The pond
• Grandma's house
• The train station
• The mountain
• The valley
