This game is fun and educational for not only the children but for the family.
I had bought this for my nephews and we all had fun with it.
The only thing is that you don't have many choices to stray from the purpose.

This is a well thought out computer game for young kids. My daughter still tries to get friends to act out the game in the backyard. "I'm Katie Cadet, and you are going to be..."
The games were easy for her to pick up. It helped her with counting and computer skills.

Oregon Trail 4th Edition Review

Oregon Trail 4th Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got hooked on the original Oregon Trail several years ago, so I was excited when I saw there was one that would be compatible with my new computer. I had to look for a "cheat sheet" online to figure out how to catch fish, and it had some other pointers that helped me navigate through the game. The worst part of the game is crossing some of those rivers and seemingly getting "stuck" and unable to move without ending the program from the task manager (saving the game is an option), then going back into the game. Other than that, the game was a delight. The only thing I miss from the original is being able to have families with you on the trail. Instead you have two other, unrelated people, who may or may not give you good advice along the way.
This game is addictive - I played for hours; died once, and made it all the way to Oregon twice. There is a checklist at the end that determines how much land you get - I got 80 acres the first time, 40 the second.
Again, lots of fun for old and young alike.

My 4year old loved this game right away and so far she has only completed level one.(kept her interested for hours) Lots of variety. Style of the game is similar to "Freddi Fish and the stollen conch shell."

Treasure Cove and Mountain (Jewel Case) Review

Treasure Cove and Mountain (Jewel Case)
Average 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!

Mighty Math Number Heroes Review

This does not work on newer operating systems such as Windows Vista. The company does not care.
They do not help at all. They offer you a different title, but give no assistance in finding
an appropriate title that might work with your operating system (basically, they've updated none
of their stuff it seems and do not care). They e-mail you back every 7 days and that is about it.
It's horrible. Why would they have software that only works on old systems? Pretty useless.
Stick to scholastic software.

The Oregon Trail, 5th Edition Review

The Oregon Trail, 5th Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was very happy with this game- it took the bets parts of the previous Oregon Trail incarnations and wove them together for a good overall product. I can appreciate a company which recognizes both the weaknesses and the strengths of their products and uses this information to get better. In this Oregon Trail you can once again chose how many you will travel with and name them (for some crazy reason this feature was eliminated in the 4th Oregon Trail edition), but you can also CHOOSE the times you stop to collect wild fruit or fish, instead of these circumstances just happening randomly (which does not make as much sense). To me, these were the biggest changes to previous games, but they were improvements.
Aside from the above changes, the basics of the game remain the same, and it will look familiar to those who have played other editions. A few things have been updated, particularly some aspects concerning Native Americans and some geography, but the good times still keep rolling.
