 WILL NOT RUN ON MY COMPUTER!!!! January 7, 2009
All the one stars are right this is not compatible with new computer and just crashes with error message.
Bummer!
 Zoombinis December 6, 2008
I get a real kick out of this. It's a
bit of solitary fun on the computer,
that I would rate along with solitaire
or majong, but different.
I know it's for kids, but it is so
relaxing for me. Just me and my
zoombinis.
8 yr old loves i October 30, 2008
My 8-year-old daughter loves this. And I like it, too, because it is teaching her some logical reasoning in an entertaining setting.
I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because of two small flaws:
- you can't stop the game and save it at each level, you have
to get through a few. This makes it harder to have her stop
when it is time to go to bed / go to school / etc. For the parent's
sake, please make games easy to save at any point.
- getting all the zombini's forward is a bit repetitive. On the plus
side, though, this does make sure she really learns the lessons and
becomes adept at solving the logical puzzles.
Nice game!
I will give it zero if possible. October 10, 2008

This is the worst software I've ever used. Unfortunately, I bought it for my children. It claims compatible to Windows XP, but it doesn't say it wasn't developed for XP. Basically, the software is not stable, it keeps giving error such as
"Zoombinis Logical Journey.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
It only supports low resolution (640 x 480) monitor. So if you have big, high resolution monitor, it shows a few inches little square on your big monitor.
It doesn't have technical support on the phone, only through a website, you need to login and type in all kind of issues yourself. Then you need to wait technical support to reply your trouble ticket.
I am an IT professional, but I can't "support" this software for my children, with the company's technical support.
The software just crashed AGAIN a moment ago.
New MacOS installation software in 2005 version August 30, 2008

My five year old grandson and I have had a wonderful time playing with this game. We learned a lot about logic, and we learned that we have different learning styles.
The 2005 version which I got from Amazon (see separate listing) has a Mac OS X installer which installed this game flawlessly in less than a minute. I have no experience with the 2001 version.
