Kid's edition, try high school/first-year college edition
This is not a "kid's edition" "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" These questions are difficult, as they have to be for the dollar amounts given. I expected a $16,000 question (the ninth out of the fifteen questions) to be one like "What is Tommy's last name on the "Rugrats" television series? with choices like A: Dill B: Pickles C: Onions D: Tomatoes Of course, that answer is B. Instead, a $16,000 qustion is one such as "Who was George Washington's vice-president? A: Thomas Jefferson B: John Adams C: Benjamin Franklin D: Ronald Reagan Of course, that answer is B, but I know it because I am an adult playing this game.
Fun and challenging!
I have this game and at first, I only got to $100 or $200 but now I can reach like $8000 or even more! It is really really challenging sometimes. Sometimes it is scary when you answer a question that you are 99.9% sure is correct and you wait and wait and you find out it's wrong. I also don't like when they say you are a "cheater".

Fun, but HARD
This is a really fun game!! But some of the questions are hard! When our relitives came to our house for Christmas, it took them probably at least several hours and at least two times starting over before they finally got it. I think the questions are aimed at kids that are about 10, 11. But still, this is a fun game. I would recommened it! ... Read more

fun for a day
This game was fun for the first few hours, but the lack of variety makes it boring. It's also too much management.. you have to keep the station running while socializing the characters. You also have to play the same characters over and over and can't create your own characters. There isn't much variety with what you can put in the space station either.. overall, I regret buying this game.. to me at least, it was a waste of money.

space colony
This game is great if you like being bored. I paid ten dollars for it and feel ripped off.

This game gets annoying fast.

Therapy for octogenarians
This is just the right kind of stuff for old geezers to keep their brain cells from atrophying.I'm in my 81st year of life.Working crossword puzzles is part of my personal anti-Alzheimers project.The fact that I can get hard copies of the puzzles is also a plus.

A ton of good puzzles for very little money!
Well, my title says it all--where else can you get 1000 high-quality puzzles for under twenty bucks??!!Interface is simple to use with Hint, etc. features.I printed a bunch of puzzles and stuffed them in my laptop case for plane rides--now if I could just manage to keep a pen in there too!!Puzzles are challenging but I can generally get every letter (sometimes all correct, sometimes a few errors).Excellent product for any crossword enthusiast!!

SimSafari lets you develop a balanced ecosystem by creating a park filled with diverse African plants and animals. Team up with a neighboring village and build a flourishing safari camp. You can place selected animals and plants in your park, as well as modify the terrain with a bulldozer and water tools. But remember, adding water costs money. And keep in mind that animals need food, so make sure grass-eating animals have grasses and shrubs. Carnivores will require other animals to eat for food. It's your job to make sure the delicate balance of nature is maintained. ... Read more

The BEST GAME EVER
your child will learn responcaibility by havig to run a wild like zoo and a town

Fun, but...
Sim Safari is a very fun game, but it's very monotonous. You do pretty much the same things over and over and over again. BUT, I was addicted to it for about 6 whole months, so that's got to be worth something. Overall, a very kind game and piece of equipment. Call now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still a great game. :)
I got this game years ago and I still play it sometimes, which is saying a lot! The graphics are fantastic. The sound is great. Gameplay is relatively easy, but you can change settings and add disasters to make it more challenging. When it comes to keeping the campgrounds and the village in check, it is always easy. The safari itself is harder to manage because it's easy for the food web to get out of whack. Things seem to be going great until you notice that your elephants have killed like all of your trees and that one corner of your park is overrun by tons of monitor lizards or something. The game is also fun to watch. You can see the animals eating, chasing each other, and getting into herds. It's one of the best old sim games. It's cheap and its a fun diversion, so if you can get your hands on it, do! ... Read more

Journey to the other side of reality, to a virtual city shrouded in secrecy. Welcome to Chemicus, a land where scientific knowledge from the beginning of time is protected and wields sacred powers. You play as an accidental intruder transported to Chemicus by an ancient amulet. Your unintended presence has threatened the tranquility of this virtual city, and it's up to you--if you dare--to restore harmony before it's too late.Read more

Chemicus
While the game is not one of my favorites it is not bad. You definitely need a guide to play this. (In today's games, who wouldn't?) There is a lot of inventory and it is sometimes cumbersome to perform a task. I would recommend this to anyone who likes science or just for relaxation.
Much Better Than Physicus, But...
My wife and I are avid adventure gamers and, to help pass the time until "URU: Ages Beyond Myst" is released later this year, we decided to try "Chemicus". We played "Physicus" a couple years ago and, while we enjoyed it, we both thought that it could have been a much better game if it had tied into Physics a little deeper and if more effort was put into the adventure game design (look for my earlier review). Education and confusion come together in Chemicus
Okay, okay, I had fun.But I was also incredibly frustrated by the set up and "logic" (or I should say lack of logic) of this game and that truly detracted from my enjoyment. I wanted to learn something from this game, but I didn't get the connections half the time!Read more

Very entertaining game
I have had this game for two months and it is a great one to have in your library.It can be purchased inexpensively and provides hours of entertainment for all ages.
Excellent quiz game
I've had this game since 2000, and it still entertains me years later. Although the set has changed since this was made and Alex Trebek still has a mustasche here, this is probably the best Jeopardy simulation that I know of.

A nice Update to a Classic
Myst is an amazing beautiful puzzle game. Real Myst is a Great update to the classic. The game is EXACTLY the same but the images and interface have been updated to provide a full "virtual reality" experience. If you have not ever played Myst before, you should get Real Myst instead of the original version.
Not For Me!
I'm not the sort who likes FPS or violent, gore filed games.I'm attracted to games that make you think.RealMyst ran very well on my 1.25 ghz G4 PowerMac on 10.2.6, the graphics were great.But I found the story to be very dark and creepy.Most of the time I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do next.Within a few days it was off my hard drive.I really wanted to like RealMyst, but it just wasn't for me.YMMV.

The world of Myst, but not the feel of Myst
It's kind of neat and novel, as a longtime fan, to freely wander and explore the worlds of Myst in real-time 3D. But when it comes to actually playing the game, I still prefer the original Mac version (NOT the "Masterpiece" version, which I've also reviewed here on Amazon).

i suck and so does this game
i wrote a review for the other finding nemo game and i gave it 1 star! i dont know what i was thinking to buy this game because the last one was boring and way too easy. this one is no diffrent. it still sucks times 10. but i have to say the graphics are great!A+. BUT the game is still bad and as always i knew my brother would like it! he didnt and his 5. he said "this game is way too easy and boring. i dont want it."then he pretented to throw up. my mom didnt like it either. my friends thought they were too old for it because were 10 and my dad said why we bought this junk. so right now its sitting on the shelf dusty. we now have 20 dollars down the drain. stupid nemo and this company, they cant even invent a game that us 10-13 year olds can play.

i got this game and.................
this game sucks. its way to easy and the graphics suck too. i love the movie but the game is terrible! im 10 so i realy should know better. i couldnt return at all. my mom was pleased with the game but i wasnt! so i gave it to my brother who is 5. my mom got me madagscar instead. i love it. atleast someone is enjoying my game. kids over 4 would use the disk for frisbee so think befor you buy!!!!

great for little peoplewho love Nemo & fish
I saw the 3 star review and almost didn't purchase it.The negative reviews didn't help.But keep an open mind.My 3 year old grandson loves all the games.He is a little young but is learning as he goes.The film clips add a little extra to break up the games.What can I say, it's like a Pooh or Blues Clues CD., it's games, it keeps the little ones interest, while they are learning. ...

Ok, at best
This game is ok, but alas, if you must have IGT in your collection, get the newer version that has a better interface and graphics. I still think Masque needs a CD with Wheel of Fortune, Elvis, Jeapardy, and a few IGT video slots like Little Green Men, Texas Tea, and I Dream of Jeannie.

Gambling for fun, yet so realistic.
I play the slot machines in Vegas, Reno, and on several river boat casinos right here in Indiana ... I wish all of the slot companies would release software like this ...although you're not playing for or with "real money" ... it's still enjoyable to "HIT A JACKPAOT!!!"... plus, several people who use this game on your pc can create their own user accounts ... you can compete for a "high score" ... my mother and father and myself play it to "keep our slot machine skills" "sharp" ... lol ...if you like this game, you'll also like Masque's follow-up slot machine games, "Slots II" and "Slots from Bally Gaming" ... enjoy.

Hey people, just heard from Masque, and they told me our wishes are going to come true.They will be upgrading this to the Bally Slot standards, and including the multi-play Poker with it.Read more

Great CD-ROM.My husband even enjoys playing with my daughters.Make sure you get the MLS version though. We've owned it for about 8 months and they still love it.

AWSOME!!!
Okay graphics in this game are very good. Gameplay kept me up all night playing it!!! This game is AWSOME for players who like to play soccer ( I love soccer played it for 6 years)But even those who dont really like soccer will like this game!

All the season in a day
This game isn't all that great. It has a time limit of 2 minutes per half. You can play over 10 games in a day. In backyard baseball you can barely get 1 game in. This is also a very easy game. Occasionaly you get a really good team that beat you in the shootout which is really hard.This game is like beep. Only not. ... Read more

Fun but go with madden or primetime
The playbooks in this game are the BEST. But no season mode and limited replay value make this game no fun after a few months. But an online mode may extend life for a while longer. You should rent this game because you'll get a lot out of it but won't waste money on something that you wont play after a few weeks

This is the best sport game ever!!!
This game rocks because even they are kids they can still play like real profecional players. This game has cool animations and worth it if you'd buy it. I think this game is better than any other football games. I wish that they should create another cool version for backyard football 2002.

I love it!
I got Backyard Football right before Christmas of 2002. Over Chritmas break I played it constantly.My parents couldn't pull me away. I even ate meals while I played it! It's a really fun game. I also have Backyard Basketball witch I would give four and a half stars. ... Read more

Available at MacPlay for $1.88
Just thought I would let folks know that now (as of this date) this game is available at MacPlay for $1.88.But be aware of the high shipping cost.

Best FPS game I've ever played
This game is incredibly cool, and works fine for me under Panther.The graphics are unreal, and the realism of the game is astounding!You do have to turn shadows off completely in the Siberian chapters, or it will crash, though.I had to call MacPlay to find out why it was crashing in that chapter.Also, sometimes bad guys get stuck in doorways and can't move anywhere, which is why I've given an overall rating of 4.But it's 100% fun, and I highly recommend it!!!

Unplayable on Panther, Indeed!
This game has been out far too long for there to be any excuse for its current state. When you attempt to play this game in 10.3, as soon as a level loads, all the sounds for that level begin playing simultaneously.Read more

Deadlock
I am very disappointed.This game was described as being MAC compatible and it wasn't.I had to give it away.

Prove Your Worth on an Alien World
I have just begun playing Deadlock: Planetary Conquest.This game owes some of its elements to games like Civilization, Master of Magic, Colonization and Sim City. Perfect Game
I first downloaded the demo off the internet, and could not believe how fun it was. The graphics are perfect, not too amazing and not Pacman style. It has parts where your colonists are 2D and not very interesting, but when it shows what your race you have selected in detail, the graphics are amazing.Read more

Imaginext nearly ruined a good thing
My son LOVES Imaginext building sets.He is 9 years old and his friends love them, too.Even the older siblings of these friends.They make up all kinds of stories.They are using their imaginations instead of playing video games.My son begged for this software and I gave in.Within a few hours I regretted my decision.Why did I let Fisher Price come up with his story lines and adventures when he was doing it on his own? That is what is SO great about Imaginext--finally a toy that will cause even older kids to leave the computer and video games.Luckily, I think he found the software to be boring.He played it one evening and that was it.Money wasted, yes.But, I'm glad he's back to creating on his own.I also regret that Imaginext made a video to go with the toy.Let the kids make up the stories! ...

A very good RPG
Now no offense to all you Baulders Gate 2 Freaks but i liked Icewind Dale better that baulders gate 2. In ID I like the plot better and the game requires less patience. I like the enemys in ID. The only really big downside is that you cant party up with NPCs you create your own party. At first i thought that was a great idea but when i played the game is really wasn't. i missed going into taverns and finding a guy to join my party. It gave you a sense of interaction with the game. Anyway if you like D&D games pick this one up. 4 stars.

This is a Sweet RPG
This game is a must have for any Mac Gamer. In my opinion better than Baulders Gate one and two and better than Dungeon Siege (not quite as good as Diablo 2). This game has a rich story, good gameplay and pretty good graphic compared to other games at its time. The only downside is poor pathfinding and NPCs don't Join your party. (also im not under 13 as it says it is i just don't have a credit card so i couldnt right a real review)
