i love i spy,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: I Spy School Days (CD-ROM)
this is a fun game to play. it keeps me on the computer for along time and my brothers get mad at me. It is sometimes hard to find the hidden pictures, but I love to try. My brother is 12 and he has a hard time finding things. I always find them first. I like the school I spy the best, but the spook house is fun too. I think it is fun to play because you see things that you see every day in school so they are easy to spot as long as you go to school. It also helps teach me to consentrate for long periods of time.

Elementary Kids Love It!,
This review is from: I Spy School Days (CD-ROM)
I am a computer lab teacher in an elementary school. Last year, I used this software for quite a few weeks when my Kindergarten through Grade 3 students came in for activity period. Students in grades 4-6 would beg to get a chance to use the software when their assignment for the day was completed.It was a stretch for Kindergarten to find some of the items, because they did not recognize some of the items in the riddles, but I made sure to point these out in lessons and then circulated to help them more. It was exciting to watch as students became absorbed in this activity, and most of them grew in their visual and verbal awareness. Children in grades 1-3 could either click to hear the descriptions or read for themselves. Yes, it is on the shelf this year, but will taken out to be used in two years. This year I bought I Spy Spooky Mansion for use, and next year hope to get the Î Spy Treasure software if I can find the funding.

Deceptive, Not Really Compatible With Windows XP,
By Steve K. "Music Junkie and a Dad" (King George, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Spy School Days (CD-ROM)
Although this product claims to be XP-compatible, it doesn't really work unless you first change your system settings to run in Windows 98 compatibility mode, and set virtual memory settings back to 200MB. Even though the outer box says Windows XP, copyright dates inside the jewel case make it obvious this is really pre-XP software that has not been updated.
Since we use our computer for other things besides games, the only way my son can play is to wait for 5-10 minutes' worth of switching to an admin user account, changing memory settings, then restarting the computer. When he finishes, we have to put the memory settings back again so we can use the computer for other things.
