When I bought this I could not find the list of all the games anywhere, so I listed them below for those of you who want to know what you are getting.

This is a great deal, I paid more for just for Jewel Quest and
Crazy Machines when they came out. My kids (13 and 10)
like a lot of these games,
although we have not played them all.

I was able to load these onto my netbook and then play them without the cd.
(You need an external cd player to load them, but then they will play on the netbook without the cd player hooked up)

Just receive this and play a few games already. Mind you, it is addicting and so much fun for all ages. Got this at the Amazon lightning deal and with less than a dollar a game, this is incredible and these are popular and fun games. I would not mind paying the full price. I have purchsed 2 games and each cost $20 or more so this price is absolutely incredible.

What I love about these games are that they are not too difficult to play and go on to the next level and there are a lot of help on the web to work you thru the game if you get stuck. It's no fun if the game is too difficult and you get stuck in level and cannot move forward.

My nieces and nephews spent hours and hours playing with this games so it is a fun family game package for all ages. I highly recommend this product and it does not require a very powerful pc to play these games. If you have 2.4GB in your hard drive you can install all 20+ games in your computer or laptop.

I purchased this based on the positive reviews because I was planning to download a single game (Farm Frenzy 2) for $10. The reviews we all true! My Farm Frenzy game is attached to the iWin web site and I don't have a disc to reload it if something ever goes wrong. But with PLAY! I have a disc, I have no adds, I have no links to web sites, and I have the full versions of many more games than I would ever have downloaded. My kids and I have really enjoyed trying new games. The price has gone up a smidge since I bought mine - but even at $20 this would still be a steal!!

I highly endorse this product and would buy other versions if/when they become available.

While I have enjoyed some of the games - notably Magic Encyclopedia, Jigsaw World, and Heroes of Hellas - there are lots of problems with this game collection.

You can only load one game at it time. The software lets you select one game to install. The game is installed and the loader closes itself. This is annoying, but I can live with it.

I have tried to install the Bermuda Triangle game twice; each time the loader stops responding. Task Manager will not close it and I have to restart Windows - very annoying.

Jigsaw World worked fine for a while, but now crashes whenever I try to move a large number of pieces between the storage area and the work area. All the work that I have done since starting up the puzzle is lost as the program does not save work in the background. I cannot finish the puzzle that I am working on because of this. At this point, I'll try reloading the game, but I am not optimistic.

Maybe Jigsaw World just doesn't play well with Windows Vista, but this game collection is not worth the frustration.

I was very unhappy with this. I thought I was buying some games for my grandchildren to play and it was just one hour trials of several games.I would not have bought it.

After reading the mostly positive reviews I purchased this DVD. However the FAQ's state that the games are trial versions which will expire after 60 minutes of play unless they are purchased again. How is this a good deal for almost $20? Nowhere on the product description or packaging is this important fact published. Did I miss something or were all those favorable reviews from people who are very easy to please? I feel cheated.

Some games have glitches, i.e. Nathalie Brooks leaves some puzzles impossible to solve as it is impossible to do what they want you to do and Alabama Smith does not save your game so you have to start over each time you close it.

These 2 games are totally awesome. And then there are others that are really good too. Some are just ok but I am giving this 5 stars since all you need is 2 good games to justify the price.

There are 25 games in all, and definitly something for everyone. Me and my husband and son have all been enjoying the variety of games on the two discs included with this. There are simulations (my favorite), puzzle games and action/adventure type games. Even if you don't like all the games, its still worth it as you will probably like enough to make it worth it! I wish there were more collections available on here, I spend way too much buying individual downloads on Amazon! This will keep me busy for awhile.

This is an excellent collection of games for the price.There are 25 games in all(no more as stated on box).Yet there is a very good variety so there shouldn't be a problem finding one to your liking.My two favorites are Turtix and The curse of Montezuma.This is a definite must have for you computer game collection.
