Customer Reviews of Zoombinis Island Odyssey

These really helped me with my disability.
I have a brain illness and often I can't concentrate or remember things. It isn't demintia or Alzheimers, but sometimes it is frustrating to be an adult who simply can't follow through with my thoughts. <

Still Coming Back...
I'm a 15-year old who rediscovered Zoombinis after it was left on the shelf for about six years. I'm in a math/science magnet and at least half my friends played this game when they were kids. I'm having the time of my life not only playing the game, which is still hard enough to challenge me at this age, but I'm also trying to duplicate it in my own spare time--figuring out how to generate and manipulate the puzzles in my own version of the program. The logical thinking is present and wonderful--many people don't see where the algebraic thinking is coming from (Mirror Machine, of course, where various transformations are used to make the Zoombinis appear alike), or where the graph theory is present (Stone Rise demands that the Zoombinis be connected by similar attributes), or coordinate systems (Mudball Wall and Hotel Dimensia, of course), but clearly, it is present and it is very, very, effective.
