 Fun and engaging May 4, 2009

My five-year old son has enjoyed playing this game with me; I imagine that when he gets older he will enjoy playing it on his own as well.
To enjoy it, MUST READ THIS: Here's how to work it: April 29, 2009

This game is every bit like the old one I used to play on older computers. However, it took me a while to work it out on Vista. Here's how to make it work for all you people:
1) Go to the Control Panel.
2) Click the word "Programs" to open its menu.
3) Under "Programs and Features", the first on the list, click "Use an older program with this version of Windows", the fourth on the list just under the title.
This opens the "Program Compatibility Wizard". From there, just follow the instructions and set it to around "Windows 98" or so. Adjust if necessary.
Once that's all done, you never have to worry about making it work again, since it'll do this setting automatically for Zoombinis from now on.
Hope you enjoy it!

Does not run with xp or vista. Crashed system multiple times. Waste of money.
Did not even start :( February 27, 2009

After reading raving reviews, I ordered one for my daugther. However, the piece was damaged (did not even fire up). And, Amazon said they would not replace it (they did refund in full). Take a chance and re-order? I am not sure if I want to go through that trouble again!
 Requires Compatability Wizard to Run Under Windows XP (Written for Windows 95) February 15, 2009

This product can be installed under Windows XP. However, it requires the Compatability Wizard:
Installing Logical Journey of the Zoombinis® Using the Program Compatibility Wizard
Most programs designed for an earlier version of the Windows® operating system will install and run properly on Windows® XP. In some instances, however, when attempting to install such a program, various issues can occur. The information and procedure presented in this section will help you to install a program (designed for earlier versions of Windows®) by using the Program Compatibility Wizard.
NOTE: Windows® XP allows different options for viewing graphical interface. The following procedure assumes that the default Windows® XP view settings are used, rather than the Classic Start Menu View.
Uninstall the program using the Add or Remove Programs Control Panel (Steps a-c under Installing in Windows® XP).
After removing the program, or if the program does not show in the Add or Remove Programs Control Panel, continue with the next step.
Verify the Minimum System Requirements of the program that is to be installed. (This information will be needed as the procedure below is completed.)
Close programs and return to the desktop.
Insert the program (or installation) CD into the CD-ROM drive.
NOTE: If a program installation screen appears prompting you to install the program, click the selection (i.e., No, Cancel or Exit the Installation, etc.) that will cancel the installation, and return to the desktop.
Click Start on the Windows® taskbar.
Click All Programs, choose Accessories and select Program Compatibility Wizard. The icon appears as a question mark (?). The Program Compatibility Wizard Welcome window will open.
Click Next.
Click the "I want to use the program in the CD-ROM drive" radio button.
Click Next. A window presenting the different Windows® Compatibility Modes will open.
Click the radio button next to the desired Compatibility Mode and click Next. (Consult the Minimum System Requirements of the program that is to be installed [Step 1] for system information.) The window that appears allows for the selection of 256 Colors and/or 640 X 480 Pixel Screen Resolution.
NOTE: These display settings are not available options in Windows® XP. They are only available when running a program in Program Compatibility Mode. The only reason to choose either of these settings is if you are experiencing difficulty installing or running an older application designed to run in MS-DOS®, Windows® 3.1 or Windows® 95. If all options remain unchecked, then the current Colors and Screen Resolution settings will not be altered.
By default, Windows® XP uses visual themes that may change the appearance or behavior of other programs, especially those games or educational programs that include intensive graphics and animation. To prevent the visual themes from affecting these programs, check Disable Visual Themes.
Click Next. A window showing the heading "Test Your Compatibility Settings" will appear. In addition, the settings that you selected will appear.
Verify that the settings are correct.
NOTE: If the settings are not correct, click the Back button to return to the previous screen (or screens) and make the necessary changes.
With the correct settings selected and showing in the "Test Your Compatibility Settings" window, click Next. The program installation will begin.
Follow the prompts to install the program.
After the installation is complete, close the program to return to the Program Compatibility Wizard.
NOTE: After the program is closed, the window with the "Did the program work correctly?" question will reappear. The "Yes. Set this program to always use these compatibility settings" will be selected.
If the program functioned properly using the compatibility mode that was selected in Step 11 (above), click Next-the Program Compatibility Data window will open-and continue with Step 18.
NOTE: If the program did not function correctly, uninstall the program (using the Add or Remove Programs Control Panel: Step 1) and repeat the above procedure, choosing different compatibility settings.
In the window that opens, select Yes or No and click Next. The Completing the Program Compatibility Wizard window will appear.
Click Finish to close the window.
Launch and use the program.
For questions regarding the Program Compatibility Wizard or Windows® XP (or both), contact Microsoft® or go to http://www.microsoft.com for additional information.
