This review is from: World Explorer Deluxe (CD-ROM)

my 4 year old, a little computor wizzard, is always looking for software programs that he can learn things from. he loves knowing about all the different places around the world and where they are. we used to use maps and tell stories. he was so excited with this new world explorer that he would not stop to eat, then i had a hard time getting him to bed. he kept saying do you know about this place and that place and telling me all about it.i am really glad to find this for him. i like the educational value and the fun. i know he is learning and not just playing a non productive game to pass time.this world explorer deluxe is top on my list for him and i do recommend it highly. mona campbell

5.0 out of 5 stars Very challenging, fun, funny, great music and graphics, January 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: World Explorer Deluxe (CD-ROM)

My soon-to-be 5-year-old has mastered the whereabouts of the continents, countries and oceans in just one week! There are 3 challenging levels of play (and trust me, the 3rd level is plenty challenging for adults!). For a younger child, it is perfect. An older child (say 8 or 9 who has already mastered maps and globes) may hunger for more information than is given, like culture, languages, currency, rivers, etc.
