Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Here's a CD-ROM that's harder than most to categorise. Mind-Gym won a BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Award in the Comedy Category in 1998, and while it is certainly funny (comedian Tim Wright is lead writer), it offers more than plain comedy. The creators call it a personality test--but there aren't the straightforward questions you expect from a personality test, of the is-the-glass-half-full-or-empty type. Instead, you are taken through a series of fast-paced, graphically rich games in animated environments, at the end of which your mental fitness is assessed in five categories
  • open to new ideas
  • challenger to received information
  • experimental
  • proactive
  • empowered
Once you've been assessed, you can visit the Games Room, the Pool and Ideas, and the Think Tank, where games and activities are designed to develop your weaker points. The games--and the voices and graphics that accompany them--are witty, challenging, fun, campy and unpredictable. Take the challenge. --Kathleen Keefe

I felt cheated with this product, it is an all too quickly completed series of easy puzzles, which just advertise a book! More complex puzzles would have been good, the playroom is fun, but beware, you are paying for an advert!!

Oh Lucky Gym 15 Sep 2006
I think 'A software user' may have gotten the wrong end of the stick - the self-help book by Dr Laurence Baumer in this very amusing CD-ROM is a spoof. Everyone who enters the Mind Gym is given a free copy but they all chuck it into the bottom of the swimming pool, the Pool of Ideas, because they think it's rubbish. But that's because their minds are closed and they need to spend more time in the Mind Gym to realise that you can't judge a book by the cover. Or maybe you can?
