Word Rescue is an educational platform game for MS-DOS written by Karen Crowther of Redwood Games and published by Apogee Software in March 1992. It was re-released in 2015 through Steam with support for Windows and Mac. The game also allows the player interact with a pair of Stereoscopic Vision Glasses.
Like most Apogee games, Word Rescue is divided into three episodes, with only the first episode playable in the shareware version.

- Explore GruzzleBad Caverns
- See the spooky Haunted House
Apogee still sells the registered version of this game.[1]
