This is a great book [Posted on 2002-10-07] I would highly recommend this book as my son has enjoyed reading it over and over again. I'm sure that he will also enjoy reading and playing with this story on the computer as well.
Sorry, can't even get it started! [Posted on 2003-02-08] I had high hopes for this since my four-year-old daughter enjoys other such 'talking books' as Dr. Seuss' ABC and Green Eggs and Ham, and I remembered Mike Mulligan from when I was a kid. But the disk won't even intall on my XP machine. Click on 'setup' and.....NOTHING.....happens. I'm going to have to send it back.
XP Workaround [Posted on 2005-02-16] I received this title with a bulk order and initially couldn't get it to work on Windows XP either. I went ahead and installed the program, Quicktime 2.5 and all, and then "right-clicked" on Mulligan.exe. Windows XP has a COMPATIBILITY tab under properties. I choose the "Windows 95" and the "256 color mode" and it runs. I get a reduced white screen border, probably due to the graphics roll-back, but it seems to be working. I've run the "Play in the Story" and "About the Author" sections without problems.
