This CD is from 1994. It does NOT work with Windows 2000 or XP (or Vista, I'm sure).
So I haven't been able to really use it, though it did install. Then it wants 256 colors on the desktop, and gives some CD-audio errors, and acts pretty weird.
Rating: - Fantastic
The best CD about dinosaurs. My kids love this CD. They go on it all the time.

Rating: - Great lessons on the ocean
This piece is great for kids. You should also consider the adventures of Captain -- Captain Jon's Island Adventure and Captain Jon Explores the Ocean.
Rating: - Great game if you want to learn about marine biology!!
This is such a cool game! The Magic School Bus games are all quite good. I really like how you can visit many different ocean zones so you can see that not all parts of the ocean are alike. It is unique that you can "perform" your own science experiments on the same program that you can play fun games on. I like the game with the crab. :)
If your child shows any interest in marine biology, I highly recommend that you purchase this game!
