This review is from: Uncle Albert's Magical Album (CD-ROM)
Uncle Albert was a little eccentric. Some thought that he may have been a genius. And some thought that he was a little unusual because he spent much of his time doing useless things such as raising insects, counting stars and building useless machines. Kids thought that Albert was awfully nice. He was a great storyteller. He always wrote his stories and experiments down in a book. He called it his 'Secret Album' and he was never seen without it. It was said that, inside the album, there was a hidden treasure. Some thought that the treasure was lost. After finding his magical album up in the attic, you may think differently... Welcome to Uncle Albert's Magic Album! Inside the Album is where your adventure takes place. As stated above, somewhere in the album is a secret treasure, but it won't be easy getting to it. The treasure will free 'Tom', a small lizard, that was accidentally closed up inside of the book by the absent minded Uncle Arthur. You will have to explore all of the pages of the Album to reach your goal. You will also have to answer riddles, avoid traps and open secret passages. There are tools, animals, insects and clues to help you solve the puzzles and mysteries. But look out, there are dangers along the way.Winner, Mobius Prize: Best Edutainment Software 1999 Best Educational Software Award BESSIE Award - ComputED Learning Lab Children's Software Revue All Star Software 1999 thefamilycorner.com: "Uncle Albert's Magical Album is a very different type of adventure for children. One that encourages exploration and experimentation while moving from one page of the Album to the next. Extremely captivating and exciting, this interactive adventure is very nonlinear. There is no one way to find the treasure. The rich illustrations, realistic graphics and beautiful music combined with the nonlinear format make this title stand out as a true 'One of a Kind' program!"

This program would not work on any of my 3 computers!,
By Holly Miletich (Kirksville, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Uncle Albert's Magical Album (CD-ROM)
This program seemed to start out fine, but consistently froze up and caused my computers (all three of them-I tried each!) to shut the program down. This program looks as though it would be really fun if I could get it to run!If anyone knows how to solve the Windows QuickTime 32 Error that shuts the program down please let me know. I tried to contact the makers of the program, but they seem to have fallen off the face of the earth-emails returned undeliverable, website no longer up and running, etc. Quite disappointed so far!

Uncle Albert's Magical Album a real gem,
By Judy Galford "Judy G" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Uncle Albert's Magical Album (CD-ROM)
I love to buy and play software games with my girls. This wasreally a challenging game for kids and adults to play. Some of the puzzles were complex yet they gave you enough clues to help you figure it out (eventually!). But besides the fun complexity of each puzzle, there was something to learn about for every animal and plant you encountered. I give a big thumbs up for this one!

Great game for older computers,

This review is from: Uncle Albert's Magical Album (CD-ROM)
This game lives up to all the wonderful reviews it has gotten. There is a lot of variety of things to do, and different ways to approach solving the puzzles.But....it's an older game, and really wants you to be running QuickTime 2. If you don't wish to backtrack to an older version (I think we're on, what, v.8 now?), you won't be able to play it. I happen to have a computer that has been offline for several years, and the game plays just fine on that. |
