Atari (1985–2003)

This game is both educational and exciting. It would be a great game for a young child's birthday, because the entire plot of the computer game is helping Putt-Putt, the purple car, plan a birthday party for his little dog. This game requires some problem solving skills for the gamer. The colors are vivd and clear. The voices of the characters are friendly and not too loud. I would recommend this to a child interested in computer game adventures, though doesn't enjoy action.

Gene would be rolling over in his grave if he saw this. Exploration goes out the window in this MMO for more combat orientated missions. Spent most of my time traveling in space between different locations. Having 9 different forms of currency was confusing. I didn't see much of the point in crafting. In fact I made more money selling the resources that I found instead of using them.

I wasn't impressed.
