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.

This game is so fun and exiting in every aspect.Not only do you learn about the Amazon river and the citys in Brazil, but you learn about diseases and plants and the different wildlife in Brazil.You can learn history in this game and about the Incas.Get this game, itll be worthwhile!

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.

This game contains interesting and accurate information about the history of the Amazon region. However, this is the only good thing that I can find to say about it. It is almost devoid of the stategic elements that make Oregon Trail enjoyable, and it's buggy to boot. It's good it's availible for under five dollars from the marketplace sellers, because any more than that would be highway robbery.

This is by far the best in education & adventure. My kids and I played endlessly for years. It encourages interaction with residents and visitors to the Amazon River Basin both in current (1990's) time and historical figures. (E.g., keep you eyes peeled for TR.)

It's a pity this particular software was never upgraded. My guess is that it had to do with multiple owners who paid too much for each of the companies that owned AT3 in succession. It would be wonderful if AT3's current owner -who obviously doesn't care about it any longer- could offer it to the open source community to update it and add to it.

I loved this game, but unfortunately I lost it somewhere along the way. The game is interactive and rather lengthy without getting boring and monotonous so that it actually feels like you've accomplished something when you finally beat the game.

I was wondering though if someone who has the game would be willing to help me out by posting a list of the game's diseases from the guidebook. I can't think of the name of one of them and it is really bothering me. I think it started with an M. Any help at all would be appreciated. :)

This game kept crashing. The grandchildren were not happy. When it did run, they enjoyed finding the animals and food. They need to update this game.

The Amazon Trail 3rd edition
Installation was quick and easy. Works fine with Windows Vista. A wealth of educational information! Not as exciting as The Oregon Trail, but perhaps playing a higher level of difficultly would get us to the adventurous decision making, problem solving, and assignments.

have owned this game before with no problems to speak of..but this purchase is faulty. The disc freezes up, keeps slowing down, skips and then closes itself out. Wish I hadn't bought it.

I have been searching for this game for years. I used to play when I was a kid and tried buying it for my son. I finally found item on Amazon, where else! Awesome!!!
