Although it says it's compatible we installed it on our iMac and our Macbook and it froze repeatedly on both machines at the same point in the game. (the first destination) Contacted the software distributor and they said "we recommend you do not ask for a replacement..... choose another game title" hmmm how's that for "compatible??? Mac owners you're out of luck if you want Carmen Sandiego.

The box and Amazon both said this game was compatible with Vista, but it is not. Neither does it run on my XP machine. Tried to contact Encore but got no response. Rip off, don't buy.
