Pandora's box is one of those must have software packages, if you are the kind off guy or girl that has have ever used a puzzle book, played with a Rubik cube, or just like watching the crystal maze . Then this is Microsoft's gift to you. This is the puzzle solving game that cannot be turned off. The puzzles are suitable for both the young and older members of the family. It was during the playing of this game, all 350 puzzles mind you, well quite a few anyhow ! That it became all to obvious that this is Microsoft's dark horse release of 1999, its not a flight sim or a war game or an office program, but boy is it both fun and hard work to play. Now lets see Microsoft recommend that each puzzle should need around 15 minutes to complete, times that by 350 puzzles and you get around 88 days worth of play, at 4 puzzles a day. Err that's just the right amount time for me and H.G.Wells to go round the world. Or to put it another way a whole years worth of puzzles on one cd, not bad.
Conclusion: if you buy Microsoft's Pandora's Box you may just find you have found a whole new use for your computer, but be careful those hours sure go by fast. Now how many more puzzles have I left!
This would make an excellent present for anyone with time on their hands!
