> 3 dayMy 10-year-old son learned about Zoombinis at school. He came home raving about them and was delighted to find 3 different versions on Amazon. He even spent his own money to buy the 3-pack, and has spent hours playing with them this summer. I havent really looked at them myself, but my guess is if the teachers use them at his school for kids with learning disabilities, then they must be educational as well as just plain fun. P.S. he also LOVES Crazy Machines, also available from Amazon, in case youre looking for more educational games.

> 3 dayI had the Logical Journey when I was a kid and my mom and I both loved playing it. It was a better price deal to buy it as a triple pack, then to buy just the Logical Journey. All three work on our Windows 7 and 8. I believe we had to troubleshoot them on the 7, but either way they work now. On the 7 the do have sound glitches even after being troubleshot.

> 3 dayMy oldest played this at my MILs house 13 years ago. She loved playing it then when she was 4 and loves it just as much now at 17.

> 3 dayI bought this product for my son, he has been glued to the computer for days and does not want to stop playing....so nice to find a game that can entertain him while teaching him. It was nice to find a game he likes that isnt violent.

> 3 dayI played this game as a kid and always wondered if they still made it as this was about 15 years ago. I found this package deal with Amazon and I was very pleased, the game was just as I had remembered! Still in the package and it shipped fast!

> 3 dayMy whole family is so excited to be able to play Zoombinis again! Our old disk was so scratched we couldnt use it (and that had been on an old 95 computer we kept just to be able to play the game!) I was delighted that it works even on our Windows 7! So far, weve only played the Logical Journey, so I cannot say how well the other two work on newer computers, but Im pretty excited to learn theres more than one version of this awesome game. Now if only theyd make an app...

> 3 dayI started playing the first version of Logical Journey of the Zoombinis (written for Windows 98 or 2000) when I was eight or so and loved it. Ten years later, I still think these games are excellent. These are the new version of Zoombinis (made by the Learning Company - the earlier version was from Broderbund) and so should run problem-free on modern computers. My Broderbund originals dont work well on the computer I own now (they cause crashes on Me or XP computers), so Im ordering this for me and as a present for my sisters ninth birthday.

> 3 dayWe owned this game when my teenagers were younger and lost it. They were so excited to get it back but not as excited as I am. I love playing these games. They are fun mental exercise.

> 3 dayI have three computers in my house: one Mac, and two PCs running XP. Of the three games, only one of them worked on one computer; all other eight permutations did not work, with problems ranging from failing to recognize the CD to hanging mid-game.
