This program is really fun for kids of all ages. When you turn on this interactive gem, you will immediately enter a magical world of monsters. Of course, the lab is where you will first encounter this free-floating world. There, you choose body parts and other interesting appendages as you create your own monster. Then, it is off on an adventure with your new friend. Under the sea and chasing through labrynths you will go together. Never will you be scared, however, but rather will feel secure knowing that your monster is one that would be most welcome under your bed!

As one of the creators of this game I am biased, but I think this title still stands up pretty well. There are not a lot of creative play titles for kids these days. It is a shame. One of the great features of this program is that it can print your monster as a line drawing that you can color in!

If you want to run Monster Maker, it still works fine even on Vista. Just right-click on the program or shortcut, choose "Properties", select the compatibility tab, and check Run the program for Win 95. Also check all of the boxes for settings. This will put your machine in Win95 mode when you launch the game and switch it back when you are done.

Also - the editors review is incorrect! You can flip parts very easily. If you move the part rapidly to the left or right it will flip from velocity (including your whole monster). You can also double-click a part to flip it in-place. :-)

This game is okay but kind of limited with what you can do. I bought this for my seven year old thinking it would be an easy game she could play. It's just okay not amazing!
