This colorful program is the most entertaining way to learn how to type on your mac.

Normal typing tutors are dry and boring but Arcaded Typing Tutor was designed from the ground up to have all the attributes of an arcade game: great graphics, fast paced action, high scores ranks, bonus scores and bonus multipliers given based on your ability to type bonus words and maintain accuracy and speed while you type. This newest version now natively supports Intel based Macs while maintaining support for older PPC machines with a Universal Binary. There is no better or more enjoyable way to learn how to type. Perfect for kids and their parents alike.]]> Thu, 19 Mar 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/kids_learning/doulbergold.html Kids will enjoy a puzzle solving trip with a diamond-hungry ant as he makes his way through 130 mazes. About Doulber Gold
Doulber (pronounced DOOL ber) is a diamond-hungry ant that must make his way through caves, volcanos, tropical jungles, a circus, an ice world and a space station - to collect a certain amount of diamonds within a specified amount of time. He must avoid monsters, bats and other elements that might try to get in his way. Doulber sometimes drops bombs to help him on his way.

In addition to this action-packed arcade adventure, there are many secret exit doors scattered thoughout Doulber Gold that allow gamers to bypass the normal exits and instead enter into a hidden level filled with only bonuses. All monsters and malices are removed but gamers are still not free from danger.

Also, there’s a puzzle element of Doulber Gold, which is a game within the game with a twist: It has a completely different goal than the regular levels. Gamers must first find a key, then the door in which the key fits. At that point, you are led to the new puzzle level. They look like other regular levels and can be played like them, but if the gamer takes on the puzzle challenge in these levels, the player is expected to demystify the puzzle without any instructions - in order to earn a bonus then continue. Many more features.]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/kids_learning/bobthebuildercandocarnival.html Help Bob build the town carnival.
