Loved the game then. Love the game now.
When I turned 7, my parents gave me my own computer and I was excited as ever to get it. Since it was too soon to get internet and my parents thought I wouldn't be able to get around the net, I played with my Compaq disks that the company gave for free. One game on the disks was this game. I played it day in and day out. I loved this game to death...until I beat it of course. Now (with permission from my parents) I feel that I should review it now since my typing skills at 7 weren't all that great. I'm 15 now and I've been looking for this game for years. I know it's for 3rd graders, but the games that are my teens my age are dull and boring and not as fun as the games I used to play as a kid. I will admit that some parts of the game I did not understand at all, so I basically went through the game guessing instead of thinking, but I still thought it was fun when Polly's father finally caught up to what she was doing. I think that if I were to buy this product again I would be able to actually understand the challenges I went up against and maybe I wouldn't win with just pure luck. Buying Jump Start again would most definitely not be a mistake on my part. I found that playing educational computer games as a child can really help you when you advance in grades. I'll be a sophomore next year in high school. I thank all the people who created these types of games when I was a child. Thanks to Carmen Sandiego I received 5 points on a history test because I knew a great deal of history (Carmen Sandiego's Great Chase Through Time. A great game to get the kids). ^M
Another Pleased Dad
My son and I just finished this program and I can recommend it enthusiastically. The folks at Jump Start have done a superb job of wrapping a lot of skill practice and information into an extremely entertaining package. BRAVO!^M
The Best Game Ever!!
This is the best game for a child in third grade. It has addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and also solving problems.
