Pearlite 2018-08-22 0 pointWhen I played this game as a child, the rating on the box said 'Ages 10 and Up'. But that was deceiving; Zoombinis was a lot more difficult than the cartoony animation and art style would lead players to believe. I used to think it was impossible.Now that I'm a grown-up, I've come back to this and successfully mastered the game and all its puzzles, though it did take quite a lot of thinking to figure out a strategy. I can guide Zoombinis with ease, but there's still an element of challenge when several of the puzzles rely on trial-and-error to discover its rules.
Unknown said. Thank you for the game.I have been searching for it for quite some time. I am having a problem using in on windows vista.it installs perfectly.Quicktime is not installed as i have a later version installed. Find out in Zoombinis, an updated version of the classic, award-winning 1990's puzzle game Logical Journey of the Zoombinis. The small blue creatures, each with distinct personalities and appearances, are escaping imprisonment by the evil Bloats, who have taken over the Zoombinis' home.
SnickerDoodle 2017-01-24 2 points Windows versionI got this working nicely in DOSbox.It basically went down like this.1. I mounted the iso directory of zoombinis in DOSbox, it gave me an error saying I needed Windows installed.2. I then found a Windows 3.1 set of floppy disk images, I extracted them all into a single folder, mounted that folder in DOSbox in its own C directory and then successfully installed Windows3.1 within DOSbox.3. I then remounted the Zoombinis iso image to the D directory, then I started up Windows3.1 and used the file explorer to run the Zoombinis installer. It installed itself and the quicktime runtimes.4. After running the shortcut created within windows, another error, this time about a lack of sound drivers, after fixing that it will complain about SVGA drivers. I found this wonderful guide which addresses both of these issues.that you can play flawlessly with no weird compatibility issues.
Ent 2016-05-20 9 points Windows versionEasiest way to play this game is in a Windows 98 Virtual Machine. Here's how I did it, works flawlessly;1.
Install VMWare Player (free)2. Load this pre-made win98 Virtual Machine Once running win98, on VMWare toolbar click Player Removable Devices CD/DVD settings4. Under connection in cd/dvd settings, tick 'use ISO image file:' and select zoombinis image, click ok.5. Go to Player Removable Devices CD/DVD and click connect6. Install zoombinis7. Right click desktop properties settings tab and set color to 256 colors. Soapy Foten 2015-08-02 -8 points Windows versionI tried so hard for hours to get this game to work.
I followed your instructions to a t. When the first method failed i tried the second. Everything was working until the part where i had to run the game installation. I cant get the quicktime to install form the zoombinis installer nor does downloading it separately work. No matter what i do it always says i need quicktime 2.1All i wanted was to play this stupid game and instead i've merely wasted hours of my life i could have used to do something productive with my life.
I hope for very unpleasant things to happen to whoever wrote this page and it's horrible time stealing lies!!! Nigger 2014-01-28 0 point Windows versionI am in possession of both Mountain Rescue and Logical Journey Discs that we ordered back when i was in primary school (im 2nd year UNI now). It seems that even with the disc the game freezes upon clicking 'Yes' on the installed. Im running a 64-bit Alienware 17R5 so specs arnt the problem. I think it may have something to do with the fact that the launcher/installer runs 32-bit.
Ive also tried running in compatibility mode for XP, 98 and 95 but nothing works.
