4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT Kid's Game, December 14, 2008

This was one of my favorite games as a kid! I cannot tell you how many times I played, and replayed, and replayed again. The educational value is great; I remember knowing about the Conquistadors and tapirs before anyone else in my second grade class. It was fascinating how I could go back in time to visit Henry Ford's rubber plantation or talk to a biologist about the kudzu infestation. The graphics may be low for a kid used to hi-def precision and god-mode simulators, but the game has great entertainment and education value. I really recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but buggy, June 10, 2008

This review is from: Amazon Trail 3rd Edition: Rainforest Adventures (CD-ROM)

i'm not sure if it was just me or what, but all three computers i have tried it on, it didn't work very well. it crashed constantly. i got around it by saving my game a lot, but it was still annoying. if you look beyond the crashing, it is pretty fun, but it also installed without sound. given the fact that it is so cheap, i think it would be worth while for you to try it, but beware the potential bugs.
