Will NOT work with most computers
Simply, this is an old program and it has not been updated to use with most computers these days. I loved playing this typing game as a kid but unless you've got a dinosaur of a computer to use it with, don't waste your time or money. Shipping was also super slow and the item arrived late. I would not recommend this program anymore, it was great 20 years ago.

Beware!
I feel cheated. Copy I received will not run on Windows 8, Win 95 is required. This information was either not available on the offering on the Amazon site, or, if I missed it was not clear. Check this out with the vendor before ordering!

How to use on XP
If you buy this not knowing it wont with XP as I did this is how you may be able to get it to run. Go to the setup.exe, right click, properties, compatibility, then check run this program in compatibility mode for and choose Windows 95.

Disappointment
I bought this only to find out, per the package, that it only runs on Windows 3.1 or 95. Didn't run on my XP. Tried it on an old machine with 95, still didn't run. Waste of money.
