I was disappointed with this program because the Mac compatibility was misrepresented by Amazon. Amazon claims that the program is usable on a Mac, but the box clearly states that one of the two discs (the one I was most interested in, the Math Games) is not Mac compatible.



Another oddity about this package is the math flash cards that come with the program - there were no cards illustrating addition problems, only subtraction. Some of each would make more sense.

I bought this product for my 5 year old granddaughter who loves the Arthur games. However, one of the discs sometimes has a break in the speaking pattern of the characters - it is the Arthur's Math games disc. You cannot always work out what action to take as the words get cut off. This happened in an earlier game I had purchased and I thought it was due to the fact that it was a fairly early Arthur game, but now it is happening with this latest purchase. We have Microsoft XP which should be able to handle these games. My little granddaughter gets quite frustrated at not hearing all the directions and thus is unable to complete a task.

Cheers
