User Submitted Disney's Adventures in Typing with Timon & Pumbaa Reviews (cont...)Date: 2001-07-28 A bit dull It's probably more fun than any other typing game, but its still repetitive and boring, which I suppose, is what learning typing is like. Not recommended for young users less than 6 years old who have already played Humongous games, because they will ask to play Freddi Fish after the novelty of this game wears off. Date: 2001-07-26 Warning! Read this first before you buy this software! Don't buy this software if you have telephony software or multiple sound drivers installed on your computer! The product will not operate without selecting the "game" sound driver thereby disabling your software! My nine year old could make this change each time she wants to play but what's the fun in that? The software is flawed and now we another rather expensive "toy" cd to play with, including the 2nd day air! This error is generated when the program queries the system for the sound card (primary sound device) but finds another sound device driver (Voice Modem, Intel Virtual Wave Device, KA Virtual Wave) instead. The program requires a sound card that supports Stereo (2 channels) at 22,050 Hz 16 bit. These incompatible device drivers cause the conflict because the program finds that the device driver on the voice modem or other device does not support the 22,050 Hz 16 bit required by the program, resulting in the error message. The error can be eliminated by changing the preferred sound device or by disabling the driver that is causing the conflict. Refer to the procedures below so the program can be run properly without displaying the error. Some of the most common drivers that experience this issue follow: Voice Modem Serial Wave Driver TAM Audio Driver KA Virtual Sound Driver A. Change the preferred device to "Game Compatible" B. Disable the Voice Modem Serial Wave Driver C. Disable the KA Virtual Sound Driver D. Disable the 'Intel Virtual Wave Device' driver When your done with "Verdogo", you might want to "Adopt-a-Puppy"! Players get to choose one of four cute pups and give them a name (I named mine "Ace"), then take them to one of six international parks. To encourage replay value, you get the parks one at a time. You also get cool toys, like a frisbee that you can really throw for your pup to catch! Okay, I've told you what's good about this game. Now I'll tell you what's not. Well, for starters, there's "Operation: Dalmatian", a logic game where you ask Waddlesworth The Parrot (Aka, The Rottweiler), questions to help you find the "Top Dog". It's fun on 2 player mode, but on one player mode, it's really, really, BORING!!! Another flop is the "Pup Art Gallery", a poorly designed art activity with not nearly enough stickers and backgrounds! And once you feed all 102 hungry puppies in "Chow Time", it gets easy and repeatitive fast (though those little pups do look really cute as they eat their dog food). Oh well. At least "102 Dalmatians" has one really entertaining game, and four others that are fairly entertaining, as well. It will certainly satisfy young fans of the film, but may disappoint those who might expect a little more from Disney. 4 OUT OF 5! But Typing will not install on NT 4.0 at all.
