HHmm I didn't find Evolver to be choppy at all. I'm on a Mac. I didn't actually watch my DS6 play. His older brother, DS9, was helping him and explaining to him about prime numbers.

I agree...at $30 I would have hit the buy button already...got to chew on $60 though.

Okay, so normally you can purchase Evolver for about $20 which is typical for an online game.

Google Shopping Search

But that is for missions "1-5" and the download is for all 20 missions. That makes a little more sense from a pricing perspective.

There was one page on their website that broke down the topics (it was really good and of course I can't find it now). I was impressed at the material covered. We'll likely purchase it this week. If I can figure out how to get back to that list of material covered, I'll post.

Ah. I'll have to try it on the mac mini I have. The boys have a PC in the common room for general use.

Yes I was impressed with the list of topics covered. Are you purchasing all the missions for the $60? Perhaps I'll let you go first lol.

Probably... I let DS play this morning before I left for work. He was able to manage the controls (mostly) without a whole lot of help.

DW reminded me that DS was playing Lure of Labyrinth last year. We had mixed results. That's mostly due to the fact that we stuck got on one part. No one in the house could figure out what to do next! But DS did enjoy many of the mini-games.

So for I like Evolver.

JB

JBDad - you mean you didn't check out the teacher cheat seats? Not that I needed them.

SO JBDad - go ahead and hit the buy button.

Yeah, I just had to make sure that it was a downloadable game. It is. I'll set up DS when I get home this evening.

JB

Fantastic!

OH where did you get stuck on Lure of the Labrynth?
