3.0 out of 5 stars
Initially Addictive,
By Ethan A. Winning "ewin64" (Walnut Creek, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Bookworm Deluxe (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
When you first start, this game can be very addictive especially in the Action Game (timed). However, if you're a real word fanatic, after several weeks you'll notice that some of the accepted words are not real words. They don't exist in even the Oxford Dictionary, while others are not only arcane, but are from or in Old High German or Scottish, and I even found one that was Icelandic.
While I'm not that much of a purist, you can rack up 7 million points based upon words that won't even come up in the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle! (By the way, the maximum score according to the folks at PopGames is 3 billion. You can't do that in the timed mode without getting into everything from slang to abbreviations to a great deal of luck.) Bookworm Deluxe is still fun, but I do wish they had gone "legit" (which is a word according to the makers, but an abbreviated one or slang according to everyone else. Still, it would make a great gift for that someone who loves screwing around with words.

WORD-RECOGNITION FUN!!,
By
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Bookworm Deluxe (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
This is a excellent educational tool for preschoolers and adults wishing to hone their vocabulary - and a great TV-alternative.
Words have to be recognized and formed from a wall of letters that get refreshed as you progress. Target-words offer extra points whereas, repeatedly forming easy small words is "punished" with the appearance of burning letter-tiles that, if let to reach the bottom, end the game. This is a perfect example of what has come to be known as Casual Gaming. It would be a good idea to download the 60-min trial version from a site, such as REFLEXIVE (you can Google it), and decide for yourself whether this is indeed your cup of tea. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

More addictive than chocolate?,
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Bookworm Deluxe (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
I had never seen this game until a transatlantic flight this summer and it was one of the game selections you could play at your seat. Once home, I kept thinking about it and realized I just had to get it! You will no doubt lose track of time and become engrossed in the game. I love the ability to save a game - I find I get tired of playing after awhile and if you've got a good game going you can save it and pick up where you left off at a later date. Highly recommend it!
