Summary: Game was fun- don't expect any support
Review: Despite the fun I had with this game, the support has been so awful that they lost almost all of the stars. I downloaded the game and they never sent me a cd rom. Since then I have lost the game to a computer virus. I have e-mailed to enquire why I never received a cd. I sent that e-mail almost 2 months ago. I have since sent three more e-mails. I have still not heard from them-and at this point I really do not expect to. It seems to me that the money I spent is as good as gone. Be warned! If you ever need support I can pretty much guarantee you will not get- and if you do, I would appreciate knowing your secret.

Summary: Freddi (and Luther's) Third Great Game!
Review: Despite the title, this game is the third, because of the one and one halfth arcade wedged in between the first and second. In this game, a ghost is haunting the schoolhouse and frightening little guppies. You need to build a trap for it. You go around watching movies, playing games, and singing songs as breaks to solving the ever-changing puzzle of how you can find all of the pieces to the trap. Kids will love this game, and parents will love it, too! Kids will learn mapping, problem solving, and social friendship, while having a lot of fun! The age group is what I would call underestimated because even kids much above age 8 can enjoy it! There's a lot of calypso music in the backround that is fun to listen to! (Unfortunatly, the disc is not CD player compatible, so you have to listen to the music on your computer.) You should buy this game, but you can also get it in "A World of Fun and Learning First Grade Edition". If you liked this game, you'll love Freddi Fish 1, 3, 4, and any other sequels that may be released! You'll also probably like Putt-Putt, Pajama Sam, and SPY Fox games.

Summary: Email Scrabble
Review: Does not work... glad I didnt pay full price for it...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: very challenging
Review: Even though my daugter loves the characters, music and animation, we found this game to be very long (thank goodness you can save it and continue later!). This is the main reason why I am rating it only 3 stars. However, if you work with your child until you and she/he can find all the clues, then she/he will be able to remember are and master the game her/himself. Personally, we have yet to complete a game.

Summary: An Internet site to play scrabble
Review: Hi-
I was looking to purchase email Scrabble and realized that the game is no longer supported by the server. So, I did a search and came up with a site from the United Kingdom where you can play Scrabble very much the same as what the Hasbro disc offered. The site is http://www.thepixiepit.co.uk/scrabble.htm The only drawback that I have found so far is that you have to complete your first play in 2 days for a 2 person game. I am not sure but I think after the initial plays, you have as much time as needed. The site is free but they ask for small donations to keep it running. It is well worth a look. My daughter and I are in the middle of our first game and are glad we can play email Scrabble again. For anyone who needs an opponent, you can get one from the site.

Summary: Perfect Software for Kids
Review: Humongous Entertainment turns out consistently excellent software for kids. It's very entertaining and very gentle, while requiring substantial cleverness from participants. I've been buying HE titles for my kids since 1994, and haven't yet been disappointed. My boys (now 6 and 7) still play titles I bought 5 years ago.

Freddi Fish and the Conch Shell is great, gentle entertainment for kids age 3 - 8.

Summary: I'm addicted!
Review: I absolutely love this game! I enjoy playing regular scrabble with my family whenever we get together but since we live all over the country we all play email scrabble with each other. I love being able to write an email at the end - even if just a sentence or multiple paragraphs depending on my news for the day. I love getting online to check if I have any plays. Therefore, I am devastated that Infogrames, who bought out Hasbro has elected to discontinue the game on May 1st by not supporting the server!!!! I would be willing to pay a small monthly fee to support the server if they would find another one. I emailed Infogrames but have not received any response. Anybody else concerned?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Excellent game, awful implementation and support
Review: I am a huge Scrabble addict and play this game non-stop, but that is only because I love the game itself, and not the way they put this together. There are all sorts of bugs with the way it plays, and there is no chance of ever getting support from anybody. Their call-in phone support gives you an automated robotic voice which is almost impossible to understand. No humans anywhere.

Also, be warned, gameplayers are currently getting this message when they play:

----------------------

Hasbro Interactive em@il games

We hope you have enjoyed the Em@il games series and we appreciate your patronage of Infogrames products, but we regret to inform you that as of May 1, 2001 Infogrames Interactive will no longer maintain the server that exchanges turns for the Em@il series of games. Please ensure that all in-progress games are completed by that date to avoid interrupted games.

(Please refer to the software licensing agreement that came with your Em@il games for details on service duration questions.) ------------------------

So the game might not even work for you. Check on this before buying.

Summary: Hooked by Freddie Fish (at age 47, not 4-7!)
Review: I took a six and seven year-old to the kids'section and the local public library where they stumbled across this amazing game. We devoted two hours and three computers to finding the conch horns and catching the culprit. Best yet, we each had over-lapping clues but entirely different outcomes. We would still be at the library now if not for time limits on the computer use. Delightful animation. Wonderful cooperative values, loveable characters and absolutely no violence.

So refreshing and polished. I can only hope the creators of this game are alive and well and working on the next adventure.

Rating: 5 stars
