What Customers Say About Amazon Trail 3rd Edition: Rainforest Adventures:
|

We had Oregon trail which is fun, but low on graphics and rather old fashioned. My son found this more to his taste.
I can't use it, on my new computer, which has Windows 7, and needs to have a game compatible with 64-bits. I really don't know how I would rate this item. I hope you have some new games like this, out soon.
IT IS A VERY EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT. MY SON REALLY ENJOYS AMAZON TRAIL. I AM PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE.
(E.g., keep you eyes peeled for TR).It's a pity this particular software was never upgraded. It encourages interaction with residents and visitors to the Amazon River Basin both in current (1990's) time and historical figures. It would be wonderful if AT3's current owner -who obviously doesn't care about it any longer- could offer it to the open source community to update it and add to it. This is by far the best in education & adventure. My kids and I played endlessly for years. My guess is that it had to do with multiple owners who paid too much for each of the companies that owned AT3 in succession.
It was fascinating how I could go back in time to visit Henry Ford's rubber plantation or talk to a biologist about the kudzu infestation. The educational value is great; I remember knowing about the Conquistadors and tapirs before anyone else in my second grade class. I really recommend it. This was one of my favorite games as a kid. I cannot tell you how many times I played, and replayed, and replayed again. The graphics may be low for a kid used to hi-def precision and god-mode simulators, but the game has great entertainment and education value.
