If you have always secretly hankered after a stroll with a brontosaurus then look no further.

The Dinosaur Adventure 3-D CD-Rom from Focus Multimedia brings these massive creatures to life, digitally on your computer screen.

Your adventure takes place on Paleo Island where dinosaurs still roam. Players are transported there to explore three prehistoric eras:

the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous.

The software is a lot better than the cover images would lead you to believe.

Impressive 3-D graphics and state-of-the-art animation combine to deliver rich educational content and a series of games most children are sure to love.

There are seven games on the CD, including Bone Builder, where players get a chance to build a dinosaur skeleton, and Baby Dinos!, where players aim to free a bunch of extremely cute baby dinosaurs from their nest.

The other games are Connect-A-Cave, Triassic Tar Pits, Scrambled Eggs, Predator and Galloping Gallimimuses.

The Dinosaur Adventure CD-Rom includes more than 18 all-too-short movie clips depicting daily events in a dinosaurs life, such as eating, sleeping and snoring and a printable activity workbook of dinosaur-related things to do.

The best feature is probably be the way the CD manages to combine fun activities and games with a healthy dose of hard core learning.

Great value for money and suitable for both PC and Mac.
