Kids on Site is a first-person simulation video game, featuring full-motion video for its primary gameplay. It was produced for the Sega CD and later ported to the DOS operating system for PC systems and Macintosh. A 32X version was planned but never released. ^[2] Versions for PlayStation 4 and Windows via Steam were re-released by Limited Run Games, Screaming Villains and Flash Film Works on June 14, 2022. ^[3]

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]
