Technical Aspects:

Auto-run eliminates the need for installation. We had no problems of any kind with this program! The graphics are bright and colorful, and saving your progress is as simple as pressing 'S' on your keyboard. The box is an excellent reflection of the game, with lots of screenshots and notes offering more information.

Report and Conclusions:

My 3 and 5 year old are working on this mystery together, and after a couple of hours, they've found two of the three missing pipes. As our 5 year old daughter is very "into" mysteries these days, her enthusiasm for Freddi Fish 3 was no surprise, but my 3 year old was the one who got it running this morning and was really having a blast! It amazes me to see them working together to figure out the various puzzles, giggling over silly sound effects and tracking down the missing conch shell.

While they haven't yet played all the way through the game, I have! Enjoyed every minute, too - and I'd do it again, but the kids *really* want it back. Maybe I'll be able to find something around here to do!
