    I bought this pack for my 6- and 7-year-old children, and they have very much enjoyed 'playing' with a number of the CD-ROMs. They are fairly well-designed (although some of the games tend to lead the learner to ignore the material being presented in preference for hunting prizes) and reasonably value neutral (Worst example I could find: in medieval Europe, the Christians taxed people and sent them on Crusades while the Muslims introduced architecture and philosophy). The problem is that these discs are nearly 10 years old and if I'd known that in advance I would never have bought them. The fact that the material has been republished by GSP means that the release date for the 'pack' (5 individual CD cases taped together) is somewhat misleading.

    But so far I can't really complain: the kids are choosing 'History Explorer' over 'Lego Star Wars', so that's a result!

    Very dissappointed - The British Isles disc does not run on any platform above XP.
    My laptop is 3 weeks old. The disc will install, but will not run due to :1058 error: and this is well discussed problem on forums.
    So basically if you have a PC with any Windows version of Vista or Windows 7, then you cannot use this disc - also if you try and send it back to amazon then you will not get a refund, unless the disc is returned unopened.
    Avoid - load of rubbish.
    The other discs will install, but as they are 10 years old, the graphics resolution is so poor that the screen size ends up being the size of a postage stamp on a modern PC.
