[comp.sys.mac.games] educational Mac games for children

robert@satori.sybase.com (09/08/90)

I'd like recommendations for good educational Macintosh games for young
children, 5 years old.  I take a Mac home from the office and would be
willing to spend $30-40 for some amusement more constructive than Missle
Command.  Please reply by e-mail since I don't subscribe to this group.

thanks...

My 4 1/2 year old likes KidsTime and KidsMath by Great Wave.

My 7 year old adores Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego (Broderbund)
and is getting into Number Maze (Great Wave).  (He also loves Tetris.)

MacPaint is always fun, and teaches the Mac interface pretty well.
