Unfortunately, by "alternative", they meant a file-sharing site where I had to specify twice that I didn't want priority downloading, and then it asked me to either sign in with social networking, or create an account with them. So, I went to the site where I downloaded it originally, and I noticed there was an alternative download link. But nope! It gave me an error that it wasn't recognized or couldn't be read or something like that. Fixing it was easy enough, I just changed the extension so that the ".TXT" part wasn't there, and it worked fine.Is what I would have said if it were true. I expanded the file and discovered that the expanded file was not in the correct format: instead of being a. I have a copy of it running on SheepShaver, and it works well enough. SIT file, to be used with the StuffIt Expander program and nothing else. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course there's a wonderful Mac emulator called SheepShaver that I use for all my old-school Mac needs. Now, here's the thing: it was the Mac version. I managed to come across a disc image of it through. So, as is the case with many of the games and stuff I've talked about, I don't actually own a physical copy of KidPhonics.
Why would that be? Well, the short answer is I won't be able to do a review of KidPhonics in the near future, as I thought I would. So I'm a little bit ticked off right now.
Well, that's about enough from me! See you next time, when I cover Davidson's KidPhonics, aka Davidson's Learning Center Series: Phonics. And if you find a copy for Macintosh, please put it on Macintosh Garden. Oh! And speaking of Learning Voyage, I'm still on the lookout for the games (Sand Trapped especially), so if anyone comes across a copy, please let me know. What they have done is added an achievements system (seriously, what is it with educational websites having achievements all of a sudden?), made a version for high school (which is a bit odd, although it may have existed before and I never knew about it), and updated one of the games (the current Classworks uses NumberMaze Challenge instead of the original NumberMaze. That's a rather boring name, to be honest, but they have not ruined it by making it boring. Speaking of which, yes, Classworks still exists, and it's all online, and it's now being handled by Curriculum Advantage. For copyright reasons, I'm not going to upload it it was tilted on purpose, and it was used in a video by the Classworks team. It's a color screenshot from the clown-dunking game, but it's a bit tilted. Next is a bit more boring: I have a new screenshot from Learning Voyage: Sand Trapped! now.
ISO image for KidPhonics (thanks to HomeStarRunnerTron of Macintosh Garden), so expect that to be my next blog post. Now, onto some news that I mentioned in my lost audio commentary. Also, I recorded the commentary separately, after making the video, because of stuff I won't go into here, and YouTube's video editor won't let me add my own audio. This means I'm either limited to booting from an Ubuntu Studio flash drive I made and using OpenShot (which is too inconvenient for me), or trying to use YouTube's video editor (which is a piece of crap). Due to annoying circumstances, I don't have a decent video editor on my computer.
(EDIT: I just tried it and it turns out it's just the swap puzzles.)ģ. All I know about it is that it involves clicking on a book I would assume it's just storybooks or something. I forgot about an activity (one I've never actually played before). I'll try and look into it, but I am planning on making a video of it using VirtualBox or VMware or something like that.Ģ. A few of the activities (the dinosaur bone collecting game and the "Frogger" clone) did not work at all in SheepShaver for some reason. Now, unfortunately, there were a few problems with this:ġ. This is because, well, I just thought a video would be more interesting. I decided this time that I would make a video, rather than just taking screenshots. The copyright nonsense I was dealing with before has been resolved, and it only took 2 days.)
