Some decent scores for this:

Its not for me but its nice to know that there is some companies out there willing to put effort into kids titles.

I'm just wondering why you'd want to escape from Adventure Island? I mean, Adventure Island sounds like a place to find adventure, and that's what kids are looking for, right?

Adventure Island in Southend is certainly a place that people would want to escape from.

The name "JumpStart" is kinda familiar. I remember it from when I was younger...

They do a bunch of educational kids games and products. I probably had a few of them when I was a wee little lad.

Probably not. My kid was playing Escape from Adv. Island for about 2 minutea and right after the intro video, the Wii restarted itself. I'm using Wiiflow (R25 I think, latest build) and the Wii is on 4.2U (used a guide on here to hack my way from 4.0U to 4.2U). I have a mod chip (Wiikey v1) and CIOS 249 rev 14. I haven't tried 222 or anything fancy yet.

These are really good games for little kids. I remember I had them when I was younger except for the PC I still have the CD in my house somewhere I bet lol.

Same. I remember having Jumpstart 4th grade (the one with the Egyptian puzzles), 5th grade (the one with the skateboarding and the fun, modern-looking puzzles) and 6th grade (only thing I remember from that is the cracking pavements with words on them or something)...Good times.

EDIT: Was thinking of Clue Finders. My bad...

bump... (ya, I know it's been 12 months.)

I've tried this with CFG USB Loader and I still get intermittent issues where I (...err, my kids) have the game reset back to the Wii menu. I've tried cIOS 250 but haven't ventured any further. Has anyone had similar issues?
