This program seemed to start out fine, but consistently froze up and caused my computers (all three of them-I tried each!) to shut the program down. This program looks as though it would be really fun if I could get it to run!
If anyone knows how to solve the Windows QuickTime 32 Error that shuts the program down please let me know. I tried to contact the makers of the program, but they seem to have fallen off the face of the earth-emails returned undeliverable, website no longer up and running, etc.

Quite disappointed so far!

I love to buy and play software games with my girls. This was
really a challenging game for kids and adults to play. Some of the puzzles were complex yet they gave you enough clues to help you figure it out (eventually!). But besides the fun complexity of each puzzle, there was something to learn about for every animal and plant you encountered. I give a big thumbs up for this one!

This game lives up to all the wonderful reviews it has gotten. There is a lot of variety of things to do, and different ways to approach solving the puzzles.

But....it's an older game, and really wants you to be running QuickTime 2. If you don't wish to backtrack to an older version (I think we're on, what, v.8 now?), you won't be able to play it. I happen to have a computer that has been offline for several years, and the game plays just fine on that.

My two youngest grandsons think that this Uncle Albert series is the best in the world. The 6 yr. old can even help figure out some of the puzzles, and the 11 yr. old is great with the [[ASIN:B00005QC1Z Uncle Albert's Magical Album]necessary quick-aim parts. We all have a great time playing these games. It has given me a common meeting ground for these two boys that their single mother doesn't have time for. Thanks so much!

A while ago, before OS X was released, my mum and I saw this in a Noodle-Kid-Doodle store. It was only $10 so we decided to get it. As soon as I got home, I played it and fell in love with it. I recently re-discovered it and still love playing every puzzle.

It is pure magic how well the game runs on mac. No matter how many PC's I have tried, it doesn't quite run as well as my macs. I love how challenging the puzzles are, yet each time you find one, if you think, you see exactly what you need to do.

I am quite disappointed it was discontinued, but everything ends up that way. Truly a magical, mystical, and fun game if you have kids. I recommend this all the way.
