Well, not shareware, but not outrageous:
There's a group called
Family Guide to Educational Software
484 Sunrise Highwya
Rockville Centre, NY 11570
1-800-848-0804
They publish a catalog of games/educational software for PCs, Apples,
Commodores, and Macs. They identify award winning packages, and accept
returns from 15 days for exchange or refund (I've never tested this).
Some offerings for Mac (all are award winners - Parent's Choice & such):
Title | Type/Description | Publisher | Price | Age
-------------------|-----------------------------|-----------|-------|-----
Cotton Tails | Story creation/publishing | MINDPLAY | $50 | 4-8
Mastertype/New Impr| Typing skills game | Mindscape | $50 | 8+
The Print Shop | What it sounds like. | Broderbund| $60 | 11+
Reader Rabbit | Early reading skills |Learning Co| $60 | 5-7
Speed Reader II | Reading skills drill | Davidson | $70 | 10+
The Toy Shop | Modelling/design tool | Broderbund| $50 | 11+
Word Attack | Vocabulary builder | Davidson | $50 | 9+
There are 20+ that run on Macintosh. I don't buy into the age ranges for
some of this stuff.
Harry.
