Can you just play the Cd-Rom, without referring to the book, for very young children or those who cannot yet read?
|
 |
Not in the beginning, but you can at the end, when you know a bit more about the concept of the games, because there are some that do not draw on the sources or the clues in the book, in the section Diroo's Wonder World. In any case, we recommend you to keep the book open as a reference to keep your child engaged during the learning process.
|
|
Does the book tell a real story, or does it only help you to complete the tasks set by the Cd-Rom?
|
|
(No, it is more than that,) The book is a story book that parents can share with their children.
There is a story section which goes with the games section for Diroo's Wonder
World and the Easter Island Voyage.

|
Is this good for children 3-5 years old, even if they cannot read?
|
|
Yes, it is. A new version adapted for these customers has been available since October 2005. The book is a useful companion for parents, educators or teachers. This version can also be used for 6 year old children, depending on their level of comprehension and learning.
|
|
Do you have to succeed in all the tasks on Easter island at the same time, to hear all six parts of the story told by the bird-man?
|
|
No! You can finish all the games on Ten-Wheeled Island, then come back to Easter Island to carry on where you left off.
Anyway, if you quit the programme, you should start again at the beginning
. You can even play the same game six times to access all the parts of the mystery.
|
|
Are the images taken by the little red cameras on Easter Island kept in the memory of the Ten-Wheeled Island magic studio, while the Cd-Rom is being used, as long as the delete button is not clicked
?
|
|
A: Yes, as long as you do not quit the program.
B: You can quit the programme by clicking on the little door on the navigation bar.
|
|
Will the Cd-Rom work, even with older versions of Windows operating systems (like Windows 98/ME), even though the book requires a later version?
|
|
Regarding the games on Ten-Wheeled Island, there is nothing to worry about.
On the other hand, certain games on Easter Island are not accessible: the Bottom of the Sea game, and the Grotto and Quarry game. Certain noise 'bugs' may turn up when you have these programs on.
