I think with the exception of McGee (which is pretty good, just pale in comparison with current software like Arthur series), it seems that the software I tested falls into either these 2 categories: - click on something, Apple IIGS said something and show something - flip the book that read out a story Pretty boring honestly. So far even Dora Colouring is more fun. I think Carmen series is good, but it is for older kids. Is there any really good one that I missed?
Your kids sound fussier than mine. My daughter has been playing most of those games for over a year now. She is probably nearly ready for the next level however, as she has mastered using the keyboard, mouse, etc. and probably nearly ready for reading lessons.
There are games for older kids that include reading and comprehension, maths, science, etc (but I haven't looked at many-yet as my daughter is not quite ready).
"Jungle Safari" is good for older kids too - learn about animals, etc. Failing that, go through all the images on the Slam Dunk site and see if anything appeals to them. You're probably going to be disappointed if you compare them to modern offerings though.
Hope they find something enjoyable there. :-) cheers, -p --- Synchronet 3.14a-Win32 NewsLink 1.85 A2Central.com - Your total source for Apple II computing.
