Disney and Scholastic share a Software Hall of Shame raspberry today.

For what?  Disney Magic Artist Deluxe and Scholastic I Spy Fantasy.

Why?

Because they're both children's games — young children, as in Wendy's is giving I Spy Fantasy away in Kids' Meals — that require Administrator privileges to run.

FAIL.

Don't these people ever think before they write code?

Will it run under WINE?

I don't know. I don't have WINE set up anywhere.

Another system with lots of picky settings to get just right. It works really well if the family systems are linux. It also is pretty good for older Windows programs. Hight demand graphics applications are where it tends to fall apart. (Meaning many games.)
