Software Reviews of Disney's Adventures in Typing with Timon & Pumbaa
Customer Review: No Win2000, WinXP version
Summary: 1 Stars
I will wait untill the game comes out in Win2000, or WinXP. I have an old one that worked on my old computer and the game was fun. Now it's worthless. I will sell it for a penny but no one will buy it. I thought Disney was in the business to make a profit once in a while. Everybody wants to teach their kids how to type in this computer age, and this is the only game around. And it dosen't work on the the current model computers.

While smacking bugs, catching grubs, and tearing away from dangerous enemies, kids are actually practicing the same fundamental skill-based keyboard activities as covered by such adult titles as Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. Some terrific components of this program include shadows that display which finger should be used to hit each key, a clock ticker that counts the seconds in each two-minute game, and the blissful fact that hitting the space bar will fast-forward you past the opening and closing credits. The mysterious, leafy jungle setting is delightfully alive, yet you'll likely need to turn the brightness on your monitor way up to see all the vital buttons hidden in the dark corners of the scene. Be forewarned: to truly conquer touch-typing, you need to drive those keyboard strokes deep into the body's muscular memory. Endless repetition is the only proven method for this. That means that while this program boasts five unique activities (for example, Rafiki gives "lessons" while Timon and Pumbaa play "games"), it is all keyboard practice, again and again. Kids receive encouragement with an enticing visual environment, progress reports, certificates, and frequent enthusiastic comments from Guillaume, but it is ultimately going to fall upon the parents to see that their children continue with this when the going gets, well, boring. Don't expect your child to see this through without your support. Stay involved, and they will. (Ages 6-10) --Jean Lenihan
Lion King favorites Timon and Pumbaa are featured throughout the interactive adventures, customized private lessons, and dozens of activities that progressively challenge varying skill levels.
