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).
For the parents whose children couldn't quite grasp the game or made them upset because it was frustrating you can't really blame the game because it does teach your child valuable stuff. They might not remember it right after they play the game, but in high school it'll all come back to them.
And I know I'm insane for buying a game for 3rd graders, but it's easier to learn the basics of everything instead of jumping ahead and learning something that you didn't know existed. |
