For it's time, this was a highly innovative feature before CD-ROM's or even the Kindle was available for children's media.

The tapes for the 'Talk N' Play' are unique in that there are 4 separate lines of sound on the track, making it possible to hear each line by pressing one of the four different colored buttons on the machine. Read-along storybooks and tapes were fairly common for children to have in the 1980's and 1990's, but the 'Talk N' Play' set itself apart from the rest. Children would follow these books and be told to press one of four different colored buttons to answer a question, solve a puzzle, or just listen to a character's monologue. Most of the read-along tapes and picture books featured characters from the Disney and Sesame Street franchises. Does anyone remember the 'Talk N' Play'? It was an interactive read-along audio tape player marketed to young children, first developed and manufactured by CBS Toys in 1984, then continued to be sold under Hasbro's Playskool brand until 1992.
