Doesn't work on Mac OS X
I haven't been able to try it yet, since it doesn't work on Mac OS X. Will have to try it on PC XP system and see how it is. It claims to be Mac compatible, but it isn't.

Another Classic
This is yet another classic by the Carmen Sandiego line. This was the best of them all, and your kids will not stop playing it! It is more educational that I first expected, and has everything from grammar to spelling.
A good buy for your money. Sorry, a great buy for your money!

A classic software program, but compatibility is an issue
This program is not made for Windows XP, and will not work on a Windows XP system.
