Adventure Workshop 1st-3rd Grade 7th Edition
Review
This is an excellent collection of classic games for children. Some of them are around 10 years old, but all ported to run under Windows XP. Amazon’s product description is very vague in this case, so here are the titles for the individual games:
- Arthur’s Math Games
- Living Books: Stellaluna
- Zoombinis Logical Journey
- Kid Pix Studio Deluxe
The Zoombinis game is the best one of the bundle. It is relatively tough and requires some adult supervision for the first time around. But after that, a bright 5-year-old should have no problem replaying it on his/her own.
Arthur’s Math Game, on the other hand, did not run very well. The animation is jerky and pauses often (this is on a new 3GHz Pentium 4 machine). There is appearently a bug in voice reproduction that causes some phrases to be repeated twice.
Over all, this is still a very good package, because either one of Zoombini or Kid Pix is already worth the price of purchase.
