Zoombinis Mountain Rescue

I just purchased this game last week and it has taken me until today to figure out how to make it run on my Windows XP computer. I think I have a solution for some of you. 1st go into the systray and close all unnecessary programs that are running in the background (especially the virus software). Then click on the start button and scroll down until you find the Mountain Rescue program then right click on the actual icon and scroll down to Properties. Click on the Compatability tab and then check the box that says Run this program in compatibility mode for: click on the tab on the right side of the textbox to get the pull down menu and select Windows 98/Windows Me then click OK. Your program should now run. Hope this works for you.

This is a very fun game, my kids love it. However, it took hours of research and trial and error to get it to partially work on my computer. Any newer computer, with newer color qualities will not work easily. You can eventually turn enough stuff off that it works, but then the sound is difficult to understand. Then when you are done playing, you have to go back into your system and turn things on again.

zoombinis 2 is very great.

the sequel to logical journey is GREAT!one thursday morning a zoombini named binky said that some of his friends are locked up in doors.you need to help them.no violence.it's great.after you have saved your friends you need to help the boolies(that's the second main part of the game).you hook up with in game #9,the last one(in fact,there are 9 games).the game is boolie boogle,i think.you must changed the sad boolies into happy boolies(boolies look like teeth).then you carry the zoombinis and boolies into boolieville.carry all and the grand boolie boolie will return.can you help them?.9 games,like pipes of paloo and magic mirrors(no,not real magic).and 3 levels.well,it's you choice.buy it if you want to.

I think it's a great game!

I like this game a lot. I haven't played it myself, but I've watched my 8-year old brother play it for a while. I like the puzzles and sort of like how it gets harder after you complete each section a certain number of times. One of the things I didn't really like was how long it is. I mean, come on! You have to rescue 500+ Zoombinis and the most you can save at a time is 16! Another thing that I noticed was that some of the puzzles take a LOT of patience.There's one game where you have to give trolls the food they want by listening to the clues they give you. On the beginning level it was fine, but by the intermidiate level he didn't have as much patience for all the things and ended up guessing randomly. Still, I think this is DEFINITELY a good game. I would reccomend it. Also there's several other great Zoombinis games that are also fun.

We ordered this version because the first Zoombinis Logical Journey wouldn't work on our new operating system, MS Media. The kids missed playing the game. The kids and I found the first Journey had more levels of difficulty, thus more challenging. But the game still emphasizes logical thinking skills necessary for math. It was nice seeing and creating the Zoonbinis again.

Really Fun

We Got this from a friend, it came highly rated, and it didn't disappoint. My 6-yr-old son loves this. It took him a little while to figure out some of the puzzles - it took ME a little while to figure out some of the puzzles - but is very playable and enjoyable. One caveat is there is a middle part of the game where you will play the same puzzles over and over and over again. If your child is easily bored - beware. However, my son doesn't seem to mind this - he just tries to get better and better at each of the little games.

Good but repetitive
