For those that don't have a DS and haven't been able to play Brain age, the popular series to keep your mind sharp, you can now try your hand at Brainiversity.

I'm for anything that keeps my gray cells from turning to mush.

Let me know what you think of it.

Thanks Ana, I'll have to check it out

I checked out the demo yesterday but only played about 10 mins so far. It's fun and does keep you thinking. The first couple of exercises you think, "wow these are easy" but then it throws more exercises that require you to stop and think. Not super hard but still makes you stop and pay more attention.

I did notice a typo though when it tells you that "Times Up" (they forgot an apostrophe).

Looks like a lot of fun. I really enjoyed playing Brain age over Christmas with my niece and nephew.

I downloaded the demo and played for a bit but when I tried to exit it froze the computer and I had to shut it off. It's the only game from BFG that has done it and I have about 50 games from there.

I have a DS so pretty much just downloaded it to see how it worked on a computer so it's no big deal that it didn't work right for me. I just wanted to let people here know my problem in case they had the same thing.

Thanks jld--it's always good to know what the potential problems are. Did you email Big fish and tell them. I'd be interested to know what they said.

Hm, interesting that jldcat's computer froze playing this. I didn't have any problems (xp pro sp2) and I was multitasking and had a bunch of other applications running at the same time.

It's good brain exercise. Now that I hit 60 I can use all I can get. That shopping list really scared me... I can only remember about 6 or 7 items. I'll keep practicing. I did well on the spelling, a bit slow on the math.

I think I'll do this every day.

I didn't email BFG because I wasn't interested in buying the game however, if I had I know they would have sorted it all out. They have an awesome support center. I already have a DS with Brain Age 1 & 2. I was just curious as to how it would work on a computer.

I don't know why it wouldn't work on mine as about 97% of BFG games have ran beautifully. I run a Dell Vostro 1500, XP SP2 notebook with a NVIDIA 8600M GT graphics card if that makes any difference.

um, what's a DS?

butterflybabe, a DS is a Nintendo DS. It is a handheld gaming console that many of these type of games are released for.

Butterflybabe, a DS is Nintendo's handheld gaming system, like the PSP or the Gameboy :o)


Ana, you beat me

Thanks to both of you! I know what Nintendo is, I've just never heard of it referred to as a DS! So this is my new piece of knowledge for today

Butterfly, it's not the big gaming console from Nintendo--it's the little handheld. It's quite a bit smaller than a paper back book
