(More customer reviews)I agree with all the positive reviews regarding the winning combination of logical thinking, cute graphics, and overall fun.
I just want to put in my two cents regarding Windows 7 (64 bit) compatibility. I got it to run smoothly, but only after a bit of difficulty. I had to run the installer with an XP service pack 2 compatibility setting: instead of letting the installer run, right click the setup exe on the CD and either set compatibility directly through properties or use the compatibility troubleshooter. The program was then set to run in Windows 95 compatibility. However, the version I have has a Learning Company "wrapper" on it--the annoying start-up launcher with load music that shows other Learning Company programs (e.g., reader rabbit), too, and adds another step every time one wants to play. The start-up launcher would run fine, but then the Zoombini program, while it would run, had no sound. Changing compatibility settings on the Learning Company start-up launcher item labeled "Zoombini's Island Odyssey" on the "start" menu had no effect for me, I think because it was not affecting how the actual program was run.
The solution for me was to skip the Learning Company start-up and start the Zoombini program directly. I had to find where it was installed, and made a new shortcut (I just put it on the desktop) directly to that, and set that to run with a XP service pack 2 compatibility setting. Voila! So far, so good. Probably just setting the right compatibility settings on the actual program file, while still using the launcher, would work, too.
