Summary: A definate Purchase !
Review: This game is excellent ! Two little boys aged 5 and 8 have not stopped playing this. It keeps them entertained for hours, it's easy to understand and they love it. It is also a learning game about dinosaurs and also teaches them to be a team as well as playing on their own. Out of all their other toys you can guarantee this gets the most attention and fun and I have to say it is well worth the money.

Review: This game may scare younger children especially if they play this game in the evening or just before bed-time and the 3-D glasses have a tendency to break.

Summary: Fun, educational, probably ok on XP
Review: This game was written for Windows 95 and slighly updated for Windows 98. I installed it under Windows 2000 (recent version of DirectX) with excellent results, so I'd expect it would be fine under XP.Some of the images are dark and muddy, but overall it's a fun game with some reasonable educational content. We haven't run into any major bugs, and it doesn't demand much in the way of drive space or CPU/video performance. It appears to be out of "print", in fact I think the entire Knowledge Adventure line is probably in limbo. A real shame, it's hard to find good software like this any more. Not only are there no equivalent "modern" competitors, if they existed they'd be very demanding of machine resources. I've not tested the Mac version.

Summary: My Daughter's Favorite Game
Review: This is by far my daughter's favorite game...and this says a lot...because she has several games in her collection, and she's a critical customer (believe me!). Just about everywhere you click, something happens...whether it is a video sequence, an educational tidbit about dinosaurs, or a game. And the games are good. They start easy..my daughter is only 3 1/2 yet the recommneded age for this game is for 4 - 8 year olds. So even she can play. And as you progress, the games get harder. I'm not a big-gamer, and I wouldn't want to see my daughter waste her time either. But the games are educational in a way...mazes, eye-hand coordination, puzzles, etc... In the final analysis...it keeps my daughter occupied and happy...and me too!

Summary: Mother of a Dinosaur lover
Review: This product is educational! It doesn't teach math or English but it does develop other skills. Bone builder works with spatial orientation. It's putting togethor a 3-D puzzle. There are three levels to make it more difficult (Enstead of an entire leg segment it will be broken down into individual bones). Very good for developing mouse skills as well. There is a maze game were the start and finish places are shown and the player must place straight pieces and elbow curves to connect them (there often can be more than one answer). This develops reasoning skills. There is also a pair-matching game with a twist. There must be a free side of the egg before it can be matched. There are other games that are like video games that help eye/hand coordination. The cool graphics and sound effects are a great reward for my three year old. He will keep trying enstead of getting frustrated. He can play these games with very little to no assistance from me. (Which is helpful when I have to leave the room to care for our newborn)

Summary: Great for kids!
Review: This program came with the new computer we got when I was in high school, and it cracked us up. The kids we baby-sat absolutely loved it, especially 3-5 year olds. The dino movies were great, but the best thing was the activity where you could design your own dinasour -- pick which dinasour to use, then choose from several patterns (like striped or spotted) to make them. For little ones, some of the music is a little scary, as is the dinosaur running at you as the program begins, but it's really cool. Great for hours of amusement!

Summary: Poor quality
Review: We bought this for our 3 year old based on the reviews found here. We were surprised at the poor quality of the software. The sound kicks in and out which means you can't hear all of the instructions. We had an extremely difficult time, trying to figure out how or where to find the eggs. The concept is very creative and wonderful for little boys who like dinosaurs. I just think they need to work out some of the bugs within the software.

Summary: A Very Educational Game
Review: We bought this game for our 4-year old boy to give him a plain old "fun" game for his PC. He has 3 other games that are purely educational (yet fun) - Jump Start Spanish, Reader Rabbit Phonics, and Blue's Clues 1-2-3 - so we thought he should have some old-fashioned fun. This game is much more educational than we anticipated. Although it is chock-full-of-games, we have been impressed with the level of detail in the artwork, and the fact that our son is able to rattle off the names of several dinosaurs, AND tell you whether they eat meat, plants, etc. The underlying story behind the games (collect dinosaur eggs to save the island from T-Rex) is pretty weak, but the games and the educational value of the game are very strong. Our son thinks the game is great. It is definitely his favorite - he asks to play all the time. Something about dinosaurs that just gets kids going, I guess.

Summary: Dino crazy!
Review: We LOVE this CD! We bought this for our 4 year old son at Christmas and he and his 5 year old brother have played it just about every day since! Sam took it everywhere we went on Christmas day! I went through the program once with them, they didn't need mommy anymore, except to tell me all about Allasourus...no idea if I'm spelling that right...but Jake and Sam would know, and all the other prehistoric facts that I didn't know! It is amazing to me that my 4 and 5 year old sons, who knew nothing except T-Rex, can now identify practially every dinosaur and all three periods, and all kinds of other facts! They enjoy all of the many games ( there are three levels of difficulty) and the reward at the end for collecting and hatching all the lost dino eggs. We definitely got our money's worth with this CD rom! Oh...and the graphics are great! I would recommend this to any young dinosaur fan.

Summary: Dinosaur Adventure 3D
Review: What a great game! I wish they had something like this when I was a kid. This game brings dinosaurs to life for young kids (4-8). Unlike the 'Land Before Time' videos and other kid geared dino stuff, this game actually teaches about dinosaurs while making the learning fun. The interface is well geared for the recommended age group and the quality of the game is outstanding. If your kids like dinosaurs then this game is not to be missed.
