Super Solvers - Gizmos & Gadgets!

We had this game when our oldest son was little & he loved it. Just had to find it again for my youngest. Both are creative & loved the challenges presented. They even competed with their Dad to solve the puzzles first. Wonderful for children with short attention tho can be a little frustrating if they do not have the patience to keep trying for solutions. Well worth the money.

The game you sent does not work. Its supposed to be compatible with my computer and its not. The game doesn't work on any computer in my house.

The game was super fun and my kids love it but it is hard to get to work properly on a newer computer.

I've loved The Learning Company games since I played them as a kid and I am collecting them to recreate an educational computer I had as a kid. I was engaged and learning and if they've brought any of these older ones into the new age, I recommend those. But I have not found them yet. The product from the seller is in great condition imo.

I bought this for my visiting grandson but it does not work with Windows Vista or Windows 7. The requirements info indicates that it works with "... or better" and that is not true. Fortunately he has an old computer at home and hopefully will be able to play it there. That does not change the fact that I purchased it for him to use while visiting us and it can't happen. This also applies to the Treasure Mountain game.

Personally I grew up to the Super Solver collection and loved almost all of them. Gizmos & Gadgets, as well as Treasure Mountain by this collection were one of my favorites.Only downside to this CD though, is the huge problem that most newer PC's tend to have. It wont run. Even with Compatibility the disk refuses to use upgraded software and hardware to maintain its ability to function.Unless you have the proper software like DOSbox (which is still a pain to manage) or a PC using windows 98 or lower, you wont enjoy this game properly without a HUGE hassle and well thought out effort.

This is fun, but i had to run dosbox with windows 3.11 installed then download video and sound drivers. Not that hard to do, but its a great game onces it playing!

Did not have a chance to try it because it doesn't run on the newer computers. Very disappointed that it has not been upgraded.
