 Old... December 22, 2008

This CD is from 1994. It does NOT work with Windows 2000 or XP (or Vista, I'm sure).
So I haven't been able to really use it, though it did install. Then it wants 256 colors on the desktop, and gives some CD-audio errors, and acts pretty weird.

My 4 year old son has been playing computer games for about 6 months and does really well at navigating the mouse and listening for instructions. I sit with him until I know he knows how to play. I can't leave him with this one. You have to search to find where you want to go and the information I think it gives on the dinosaurs is either below or above his level. He knows alot about dinosaurs and this doesn't expand on anything. I think maybe if it were a little more realistic...and the game gets stuck and acts slowly.
Great lessons on the ocean October 15, 2004

This piece is great for kids. You should also consider the adventures of Captain -- Captain Jon's Island Adventure and Captain Jon Explores the Ocean.
Great game if you want to learn about marine biology!! August 12, 2004

This is such a cool game! The Magic School Bus games are all quite good. I really like how you can visit many different ocean zones so you can see that not all parts of the ocean are alike. It is unique that you can "perform" your own science experiments on the same program that you can play fun games on. I like the game with the crab. :)
If your child shows any interest in marine biology, I highly recommend that you purchase this game!
