mixed good & bad [Posted on 2003-11-02]
The art cd in this pack is great. You can paint, do stickers, and costumes--all fun and creative. The numbers & letters games are horrible. Essentially the child is wandering around on Sesame street and gets to make a bunch of stuff repeatedly move by clicking on it. There aren't really any games or play of any value embedded in this aimless & boring wandering. Worse, there is a tv in every home the child visists (Big Bird, the Count, etc) & this tv is the main attraction--my son would go to the room (in the game) and ask to watch tv. Just what I needed. Somehow I disabled the video compont so now all the tvs are broken--this helped some, but I was disappointed in Sesame Street enough to get on here and wirte my first review!

No good on Windows 95 [Posted on 2003-11-29]
I could not install this program on my son's computer (my old computer - Win 95, Pentium II 233, lots of RAM). The program would run and I would not get any sound. I upgraded my audio drivers, still no sound. I contacted customer support and they could not resolve the problem either. So I installed it on my newer laptop and it runs fine, but I would rather that he did not play on my laptop. Otherwise it is a good game and my son loves it.

Disappointed [Posted on 2004-03-25]
My daughter received this as a gift. When we went to play the game the 1st time it did not work. We had to return the 1st cd and wait for a second to be sent to us. When we received the 2nd cd it worked better but still not like other games we have. It is sluggish and skips parts. I had higher expectations of this product - for instance that it would work. We were only able to play it once. The other times we attempted to play the game it would freeze up my computer before we even got through the introduction.

Does NOT Run on Windows 2000 [Posted on 2004-09-29]
Despite the packaging, this software (and unfortunately, many other toddler-level programs) does not run on Windows 2000 with SP4 installed. Encore states as much if you inquire, but no such caveat exists on the package or in any marketing materials. The result is no sound after the opening credits. Removing SP4 is a non-option in today's computing environment, so this software is effectively useless. I do not understand the design philosophy that targets toddle-level software to 9x systems. These are obsolete and far less stable platforms, especially with a 2 year old banging away on them. Even at this modest price point, 2000/XP compatable should now be the standard.

DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE!!!! [Posted on 2005-09-20]
Even though my product came in packaging that said that it worked with Win2000 sp4, it does not. The sound does not work after the opening credits.

I am very unhappy with this software distributor. They have conflicting information on their support FAQ that says that it won't work with Win2000 sp4, yet the box says otherwise.
