Editorial Review

Traditional travel games, such as bingo, mazes, matching games, and tic-tac-toe are included in this On the Go Pixter software. Unlike workbooks that can't be reused, this software lets children play games over and over again. Because of the Pixter hardware design, there are a few kinks in the system, such as that the line that appears on the screen often lags behind the pointer when playing the maze game. (Instructions offer a suggestion to solve this problem, but a tester still found it slow). Also, drawing games can be frustrating since the images appear in shaky digital format. Other games like bingo, tic-tac-toe, and matching pairs work great with the handheld Pixter device (sold separately). --Hannah Reynolds

This is one of my favorite cartridges. I use it most out of all the ones I have. Atleast twice a year we take a long five hour car ride to see relatives. This has worked better than anything else to pass the time. It has traditional games such as tic tac toe and bingo for one player or two, and a memory mix game where you try to match all the pairs in the least amount of time, and much more. If you really need a break from the "are we there yet?" blues than this is just right for you.

My four-year-old enjoys this toy. We have the original Art Safari pack as well and the On The Go pack definitely gets more use. His favorite game is the memory/matching game. He also enjoys stamping and tic-tac-toe. The packaging mine came in showed mazes as one of the games but there are no mazes in this pack. I recommend this for airplane trips, long car rides and visits to non-child friendly homes, especially for the younger set ages 3-7.

My 5 year old daughter has all the Pixter cartridges. This one is her favorite. We have one of the original versions that does have the mazes on it (the new version out does not have the mazes). For those of you who are upset that the new version does not have the mazes... don't be. That is the only part of the cartridge we don't use because that one game does not work well at all which is why they deleted it from the new ones. Even without the mazes, this is still my daughters favorite cartridge. Pixter is great for kids not quite ready for a "game boy".
