A Kid's Review
This review is from: Reading Blaster Ages 6-7 (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
I have fond memories of playing with math blaster and reading blaster as a kid on an Apple IIc. However, as a parent, I don't feel that this updated version of reading blaster would have much educational value. It is not suitable for kids still learning their phonics, but perhaps may provide limited fun for kids who are more advanced. The games are too easy to succeed at by simply guessing at all the words (there are no penalties or buzzing sounds for wrong answers). I would not consider this to be a useful educational title.

(this is a teenager using her mom's account)
I think this was a game for Windows 2000 or earlier. I remember playing this on a Windows 95 computer when I was younger. Then (even though I was older at the time), we installed it on an XP computer and it locked up all the time. I ended up uninstalling it to get rid of it.
