REVIEWER COMMENTS

 

"In a world where most educational software is on an intellectual par with Saturday morning cartoons, ChipWits is like public television's Nova."  Marc Randolph, USA TODAY (Tuesday, February 5, 1985)

 

"...it's 'edutainment' at its best.  In our opinion, the program is so innovative that it leaps over other educational and game packages."

Editor, MACAZINE (January 1984)

 

 "...an excellent way to teach logical thinking and problem solving to the would-be computerist."  Walter Salm, COMPUTER ELECTRONICS (January 1985)

 

"ChipWits is part construction set, part programming tutor, part logic trainer, and part mind expander.  If you have only one entertainment/educational program in the disk cabinet next to your Mac, ChipWits should be it"  Danny Goodman, ICON REVIEW (Summer 1985)

 

"ChipWits is a program that every Mac owner should have.  It really shows the strength of the visually oriented approach that the Mac promotes.  Plus it's a lot of fun.  Get it."  Bruce Webster BYTE (July 1985)

 

"The best beginner's introduction to programming might well be ChipWits."  Neale McGoldrick, MACAZINE (September 1985)

 

"...a terrific way to teach the basic concepts of how computers work.  ...ChipWits is delightful and delightfully easy to use.  ...very challenging and even addictive on the more difficult play levels.  Regardless of you age, ChipWits is a worthwhile program that will keep you entertained and fascinated for many hours--I recommend it."  Tom Benford COMMODORE POWER/PLAY ( September 1985)

 

" Recommended:  Takes time to learn, but pays off in building problem-solving skills."  Larry Pogue, ELECTRONIC LEARNING (November/December 1985)

 

"It is quite rare that a game is great fun to play, while imparting truly valuable experiential learning in the process.  Enter ChipWits."  John J. Anderson CREATIVE COMPUTING (December 1985)
