Maybe it's the result of having waited twenty years since my childhood to get a hold of this, but I can't help but be disappointed. The game (such as it is) just is not exciting. You're given a list of postcards you need to collect - not unlike the list of animals to photograph in Photo Hunt in Yellowstone, also developed by Zenda - and then... click around a map to collect them. There's not much challenge to it, and the gameplay isn't fun. I guess it would be better in multi-player mode, but even so, it's not exactly a lost classic.
