Manufacturer's Description
Memory is one of our brain's most important functions and we constantly call upon it every single day. That is why it's so important to keep it developed, strengthened and in top form, whatever your age.

The Test and Improve your Memory PC CD-ROM is a fun and innovative way to expose the limits of your mind and build-up your brainpower. Highly suited to students preparing for exams, professionals wanting to think faster or adults in general, it strengthens memory whilst testing skills such as language and concentration in a highly personalised workout. The components inside help to:

  • Reinforce memory capacities
  • Develop memorisation strategies
  • Develop logic and language skills
  • Sharpen mental agility.

    Developed by a team of experts, the CD allows you to have fun without noticing that you are being tested. Travel the world to exotic locations such as New Delhi, Australia and Easter Island to play 12 highly interactive and fun games including:

  • Sleight of Hands
  • Elephant Memory
  • Basketball in New York
  • Fifty Fifty
  • Heraldry
  • Mosaics and more

    The difficulty of the games can be adjusted to suit the individual and can be played in any one of three modes to give your training flexibility:

  • Free route: Visit any country and choose any game you please
  • Tour: Countries and games are pre-selected depending on which tour you choose.
  • Competition: Play in a selection of games and record your high scores.

    Coaching tools give you feedback and the personal Mind Profile illustrates individual strengths and weaknesses and records development over time in order to ensure peak performance and mental stamina for each individual.

    Didn't work with Vista1
    I bought this a few weeks ago and have just got round to looking at it. Loaded fine with no problems apart from saying that it would run in basic Vista, only it didn't. No amount of clicking would get it to work and patience is not one of my virtues. I will just have to load it on the old banger that runs XP and try again in the future.

    Good but software can only be used with CD loaded on pc/laptop3
    This CD is good and I have started to use the different games and find it quite easy to follow.
    My only gripe is that to use this CD you must always have the CD inserted and loaded in your pc or laptop - I hadnt expected this and am sure at some time (perhaps because of my bad memory!!) I may loose the CD or it will become damaged over time and then it will be useless to me.

    Apart from the above the CD seems useful and I am sure will help if used regularly.

    Fun to play and easy to use4
    I really enjoyed playing Test and Improve Your Memory. I noticed my ability increasing very quickly at the various puzzles, so regular training probably would be beneficial.

    If I had to knock the product down one star, it would be because I found the feedback was insufficiently detailed. For example: "People scored between X and X points, and completed the puzzle between X and X seconds". This could mean that they achieved low or high points within the time allowed. It could also mean that they achieved full marks within a very short or very long time. I would have preferred something that enabled you to calculate a bit more accurately where you stood in terms of percentage of the population.
