Cheap Purple Moon Secret Paths to Your Dreams (Software) (Macintosh, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me) Price

Unlike other Purple Moon titles that revolve around a fun-loving character named Rockett, this CD focuses on the dreams of whoever's playing the game. There's an easy-to-learn art program; girls can actually paint their dreams to life. Also included is a dream dictionary (for learning the popular meanings of many dream symbols) as well as a place to keep a dream journal.

For a truly multimedia experience, there's even music and sound effects to add once the paintings are complete, as well as ways to incorporate pictures from disks. For a bit of problem-solving fun, girls can try drawing the dreams of the five characters in the CD--if it's done correctly, new art brushes will appear to provide additional techniques. For any adolescent girl needing a special place to record her dreams, this CD is the perfect gift, and since the pictures are printable, it's a great chance to share these dreams with those around her. --Jill Lightner
