Super Solvers - Midnight Rescue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great game, but don't expect to run it in Windows XP using Windows 95 compatiblity mode. After installation, when attempting to run the program, an error "The MIDI driver for your sound card could not be found" appears and the only option allowed is to exit the program. My MIDI drivers are working fine, and dxdiag reports no errors. I've tried three different MIDI emulators (Sound Blaster Audigy, Realtek, and Yamaha) and all of them result in the same message. And the documentation does not state anywhere that a MIDI device is even necessary. Apparently, others have the same problem as there are several web postings asking for help with the problem. Further, the web site listed for help and support no longer exists.

Treasure Cove and Mountain (Jewel Case) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As an elementary school computer teacher, I can attest that Treasure Cove is one of the most popular "free time" activities at my school for grades 2-5. With sound and question reading turned on, however, kids as young as kindergarten can enjoy this game. I purchased both games for my 8 year old daughter for the summer, though I also got caught up in playing them! The games are quite lengthy in order to "win", but are engaging enough to keep kids wanting to play that long. Also, after "winning", kids can continue to play for as long as they want. Of the two, I definitely prefer Treasure Cove for its ease of play as well as the questions; Treasure Mountain appears to be more of a "vintage" game with less fluid graphics, awkward controls, and questions that are more confusing, even for an adult. Treasure Mountain also requires that your monitor resolution and color depth be changed, which is a hassle to do every time the game is played (though it's a great opportunity to teach your kid how to change their own monitor settings!) All in all, the games are quite educational and fun, especially combined in such an inexpensive bundle!

Super Solvers - Gizmos & Gadgets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this game shortly after I got my first computer, and I spent hours playing it... the graphics don't meet today's standards, but the science still applies. I remember that I beat the thing once, but that was only without the monkeys.
The game has a sort of plot line, the plot being that Morty's taken over a place called the Shady Glen Technology Center along with his Cyber Chimps. He's challenged you to a sort of science-contest to see who can build the best vehicles... and, believe me, it takes a LONG time to beat this game.
You have to build fifteen vehicles, using the parts available in warehouses at the Shady Glen center. You have a lot of doors per room, and you have to complete science puzzles to open the doors. Some doors have parts behind them, and some don't. And the parts that you get aren't always the best ones. On any account, there are chimps running around everywhere that bump into you and take your parts. Very complicated... but you can turn the chimp feature off.
When you win (if you win), you get a 'surprise'. If you want to know what it is, it's a printable certificate. Yeah...
But this is a great way to learn science- I loved it, anyway. And there are still some puzzles that I have trouble figuring out, especially the ones with the cogs. And be warned- I don't think that this game works with Windows XP.
