Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego
Windows | Encore, 2007
Very Linear - No Henchmen... Not your mother's Carmen...
For those of us who played the classic APPLE IIe version of "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" this game is a far cry different than the original. In the original, and most of the remakes, the format was the same with a full selection of ten to twenty V.I.L.E. ...

Oregon Trail 4th Edition
Windows | Learning Company
This game was a lot of fun...
I got hooked on the original Oregon Trail several years ago, so I was excited when I saw there was one that would be compatible with my new computer. I had to look for a "cheat sheet" online to figure out how to catch fish, and it had some other pointers that helped ...

The Oregon Trail, 5th Edition
Windows | The Learning Company
We love this game
I wish there were more history games like this. My kids love it. It is buggy. The trick is to save the file often so you don't lose all your hard travelin' work.

Yukon Trail
Windows | Learning Company
Happy family
My two kids loved this program and played it a lot. I would say they were in 5th and 9th grades. Their only complaint is that the game was "too short", too quickly over. They would have liked to explore more. It was very easy to use.

Africa Trail
Macintosh, Windows | Learning Company
Go to Africa!
I have spent months on the road in Africa, though in bush taxis and not on a bicycle. I have also lived as a Peace Corps Volunteer and have traveled through areas similar to some of those traveled on this trip. I love how this software has captured the textures and ...
