Played it as a kid. Hated it, but always kept at it, eventually grew on me. Started paying attention to the facts and tidbits of info, and now find myself knowing history and facts I never would have without it.

Refresh your scientific knowledge with a dash of humor and a bit of pinball! The artwork and overall presentation is wonderful, but the pinball itself is a bit inconsistent. My uncle gifted this game to me and it has sentimental value. It would be great to see all DK Multimedia classics published digitally and working on modern hardware without all the tinkering.
