  Received: Scrabble, Wheel of Fortune, Monopoly and Jeopardy games for my laptop. Easy and quick to load. Scrabble is fantastic. Allows for different levels of play and dictionary is right there…can hide or display. Very challenging…builds your vocabulary. Other games are very good, though the Monopoly for modern times takes a bit of getting used to…glad they figure out the money for you!! Scrabble is the best of the four…but only because I am such a huge fan. Scrabble Champion Edition

  This is not an original Retail product. This is a compilation of four seperate games put together, but is not available as an original Retail product.

  I am so pleased to have finally found classic games that will work with Windows Vista!

  The four games I bought all work well on Vista, which most do not. The price was very fair and delivery was quick.

  These games were purchased for my husband, age 73, because many years ago we had the first version of The Incredible Machine that ran on our old 286 computer! We both had a lot of fun with it because it had such imaginative building pieces. For instance, the motors might be a mouse in a cage running in a wheel! Well, we are not disappointed in this newer version. It has many of the same fun parts to build with. I have not played with these much but my husband tells me they are both pretty much more of the same, which is exactly what fans of the original will be looking for. He recommends anyone who loved the old original to give either of these games a try. If you are not familiar with the original, you will find that they start off easy enough that it is not necessary to have experience with the original to be able to work these. Then they progress to the point where I give up and my husband gets excited to finish what I started! We are both big fans of the Nintendo DS Lite because we enjoy the brain games. This new genre known as EDUTAINMENT has got us hooked. It is because we got so involved with the Nintendo Brain Age and the other Brain Games that we thought to go searching for The Incredible Machine again. These are puzzle games that are every bit as good at getting our brains working as the Nintendo games we play. These just let you play GOOD games on a big screen! The engineering involved to acomplish a goal is what makes it so much fun. The parts are somewhat limited which forces our brains to really think. I would certainly recommend these games for anyone interested in engineering who also likes silly looking fun games! My husband has an engineering degree from Cal Tech, but I believe a 10 year old who has grown up with Lego and Erector Sets would enjoy it every bit as much. Incredible Machine is nothing like Lemmings from the standpoint of trying to save the Lemmings…but it is similar in flavor since all the building parts are quite cartoonish in design. There is nothing to kill. No guns. Just fun, thought provoking edutainment!

  This is an older game, but it works on Vista and the graphics are fine for what they need to do. I’ve been playing this with my 7 year old daughter and have been having great fun with it’s Rube Goldberg-esq puzzles. She needs a far amount of help, but she is getting the hang of it. Even the easy puzzles can sometimes be difficult and unfortunately you cannot go forward without solving each puzzle within a section (at least as far as I can tell.) Fortunately there is a walk-thru available on the Web which gives solutions in case you get stuck.

  I buy some items for my Grandson, and he was very excited Christmas when he got this double CD. He got other items but had already played the 1st CD and has played this one quite a bit since he got it. I would recommend this game for PC players.

  This game is so much fun! I would recommend this for just about anyone. It does have mild violence so if you don’t want your children fighting Goblins this isn’t your game, but it’s fun it’s challenging and can be a learning tool for children. It’s a very cute game.

  This game is pretty good for your kid if they liked the movie. Especially if you can get it at a good bargain price. The graphics are pretty good as well as the gameplay. My 8 year old loves this game so I think other kids would too.
