What kind of hardware and software do I need to play the games?

System Requirements:

Minimum:
PII Class PC
iMac
32 MB RAM
IE 5.x or
Netscape 4.7

Recommended:
PIII Class PC
Mac G3 or G4
64 MB RAM
IE 5.5

You need a Java-capable computer to play. All our games are written in the Java programming language. There is never anything to download or install onto your computer. All you need to do is access our web site, click on the games, and play. Our games will run on just about any make, model or brand PC but, to run Java best, we recommend a Pentium PC with 32 megabytes of memory. We recommend using Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 5.5 or higher. Netscape Navigator version 4.7+ will not work.

For Mac computers that support JAVA, IE 4.5 or 5.x will work. However, ensure the JVM is set to Mac MRJ, and MRJ 2.2.4 or newer is used. Click here and SEARCH for the latest 'MRJ' to download.

Mac users should not use Netscape, just about any version currently causes unpredictable results.

To make sure your version of Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer is Java-Enabled, follow these instructions:

If you are using Netscape, choose "Preferences" from the "Edit" menu. Then, click on "advanced" and verify that the "Enable Java" and "Enable JavaScript" boxes are checked. After you have exited "Preferences," close all Netscape browsers and then re-open Netscape with your new settings.

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, choose "Internet Options" from the "Tools" menu. Then, click on the "Advanced" tab and verify that the "Java JIT compiler enabled" box is checked. After you have exited "Internet Options," close all Internet Explorer browsers and then re-open Internet Explorer with your new settings.

Please Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows XP, you may need to download and install Sun Microsystems Java Plug-in if you have not already installed it.
