Magical Software !!, 24 Feb 2001
An absolute must for any Pocket Dragon collector -- even those without kids! This big kid (I'm 30 something) has been through the disk on the easiest level (each activity has 3 levels to chose from), and is looking forward to the next spin of the disk!!!!!!! My 9 year old son has also been on it -- and wants MORE. His (almost 12 year old) big brother keenly awaits his turn........ The sound and video are great. The colours are wonderful! There are suprises in each room but, whilst revisiting an activity can get you looking for different things/copying different things, these suprises stay the same so might bore an older child. Just a word of warning... we played it WITHOUT reading the instructions, and a couple of the games were hard to figure out. On checking the instruction manual we would not have been any wiser .. so it's probably worth trying yourself before letting the suggested 4-7 year old have a go! Also, make sure your PC meets the minimum spec. We tried it on an older machine (Pentium 120 with 16Mb RAM instead of the Pentium 166 with 32Mb they state) and it doesn't work. In addition the package gives no disk space requirement. I had to install Quick Time Player (on disk) as well as game and it gobbled up 11.6Mb of space. If your youngsters enjoy(ed) the cartoon series (or you collect the ornaments) then this is definitely a MUST for you. No flimsy packaging with this one -- good solid box and proper CD case (not a plastic wallet).
