Dora the Explorer: Lost City Adventure
Our four-year-old daughter loves Dora the Explorer, so we were delighted to see the release of Lost City Adventure. The reviews so far have been raves from the little one (and from us). The animation, music and sound are first rate, but more importantly, the challenges are appropriately measured for a pre-schooler. This program stacks up well against the Knowledge Adventure titles like Reader Rabbit. Skills such as sequencing, color matching, memory and basic addition are developed in fun and entertaining environments. Plus, there are three difficulty levels, so if your child is frustrated or bored at a certain level, you can adjust accordingly.
The program works great using the Classic environment on our Macintosh G4 laptop and G3 desktop computers. Have fun!

My 3 1/2 year-old daughter was so excited to receive the Lost City Adventure we had to play it as soon as she opened it! So to make a really long story short….The software has a problem! The first one we purchased had sound problems (so choppy we couldn’t understand anything.) We purchased another one thinking it was a software flaw….same problem. Our computer had more than the required systems. After an hour of trouble shooting we called tech support. They tech support was not at all surprised to hear our plight. It appears that there is a problem with the program and they immediately asked us to send the software back. They are replacing it with other software but not giving back our $$. I guess if I pushed it they may have given us a refund. Your best bet would be to wait until a new version comes along!

My son is 3 and a half. He has mastered many games like Jumpstart Preschool, etc.. This game is way to difficult for him. There are numbers moving on the wall, so he not only has to identify the numbers but try to click on them as they move past. I would HIGHLY not recommend this game for younger kids under the age of 5.

My oldest daughter loves Dora and took to this game immediately. She loves to sit on my lap and play and our father-daughter time is often spent on the computer. She can’t get enough.
The 3 levels offer a nice change for children that are getting bored with the game. Some puzzles she plays at level 1 where some puzzles she plays at level 3.
The game is VERY educational and fun and it follows the same format as the cartoon does. She’ll turn 3 soon and she still loves it.
I’d also recommend Dora’s Backpack Adventure (they make a trip to the library), Little People Discovery Airport, Winnie the Pooh (where Pooh gathers all the friends for Eyores birthday party) and Mickey Mouse (where Mickey and Minnie stop off at Goofy’s gas station / Daisey’s diner).

I have bought almost every software title I can for Blue’s Clues, Winnie, Disney, Dalmations etc… This Dora game holds my son’s attention more than any other except the Tonka Trucks game. It works well on my PC and also plays well on our Imac.
If you do have a Mac run it on OS 9.3 or lower. OS X doesn’t like it much.
If your child loves Dora and is under 5 buy this.
