5.0 out of 5 stars Top-quality game, July 3, 2000

By 

Juan Aguilar (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Arthurs Computer Adventure Ages 3-7 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

We've looked at most of the popular software for our four-year old daughter. For the most part, the selection and quality has been disappointing. "Arthur's Computer Adventure" was a welcome departure from the poorly produced Macromedia Director numbers that other companies are selling out there. The entire product was enjoyable from start to finish. The best feature is the play while you read portion of the software that allows the kids to follow-along while the book is read, then interact with the many amusing clickable areas of the pages. Captivating, well-designed, and at the top of my recommended list.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter LOVES this game!, July 15, 2001

By 

Maine Mom (Waterboro, ME USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Arthurs Computer Adventure Ages 3-7 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

My 9 year-old son and my 3 year-old daughter both love this game. They play it together taking turns with different parts of it. My daughter still needs help in the store making change to buy the different clothes and some times will get frustrated when adding ingredients to make the recipes, but luckily her big brother helps her with this part. It isn't difficult, but you need to be able to count things out. The recipes ask for 3 eggs, etc so all you need to do is find the group of eggs (and there is exactly the amount the recipe asks for) and drag them into the mixing bowl. This game has several different things to do in it, both fun and educational. It is also set up like a story book so you go through different pages and click on certain objects and they do funny things. The kids LOVE that!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Learning and Laughing With Grandchild, November 19, 2000

Willow (Tn. United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Arthurs Computer Adventure Ages 3-7 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

My Grandchild has this marvelous game. While visiting we spent several hours playing and interacting. I was impressed with the amount of information and most of all, the fun she enjoyed while using this computer game. The characters are cute and have enough naughtiness to entertain a child. There is positive reinforcement as each level is reached. Oh, how I wish that I had been able to have the wonderful tools to use when my own children were growing up. I must add.....How important it is to have the parent's interest and interaction, as well as the toys. So very important..! gramma Char
