5.0 out of 5 stars Go to Africa!
I have spent months on the road in Africa, though in bush taxis and not on a bicycle. I have also lived as a Peace Corps Volunteer and have traveled through areas similar to some of those traveled on this trip. I love how this software has captured the textures and flavors of so much of Africa. I only wish that computer software could communicate smells and tastes. One...

1.0 out of 5 stars Africa Trail

This review is from: AFRICA TRAIL (CD-ROM)
I have spent months on the road in Africa, though in bush taxis and not on a bicycle. I have also lived as a Peace Corps Volunteer and have traveled through areas similar to some of those traveled on this trip. I love how this software has captured the textures and flavors of so much of Africa. I only wish that computer software could communicate smells and tastes. One little thing that I wasn't expecting at all was how well the bargaining compares to the real thing--and how it changes from one part of Africa to another.

One thing that is important: when I first ran the software in Windows XP, it was real little and disappointing. Make sure you set the software to run at 640x480 resolution (in the shortcut properties in Windows XP). That will make the program run full-screen and you will see it as intended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Game is not that fun, October 20, 2011

This review is from: AFRICA TRAIL (CD-ROM)
The Oregon Trail is a really fun, easy to figure out game. My whole family plays it with the computer hooked up to the TV in the living room. Africa Trail is too complicated and not that fun.
