Modern Zoombinis?

What is the modern equivalent of 1995's lovely LOGICAL JOURNEY OF THE ZOOMBINIS computer games? They taught math logic skills rather neatly for children, but I don't have a computer that will run the old games.

This is sort of a slant answer to your question, but have you considered using an emulator? If your children won't mind the hassle / drop in graphics and such, that seems like the most expedient solution. (Every answer I can think of is an equally old game probably for the PC.)

Best answer: Logical Journey of the Zoombinis is available on Amazon, and will run on a Mac (I bought a copy a year or two ago, and last time I played it I had a Mac with OS 10.6—I lost the disc between that computer and my current one).

Searching Amazon tells me that there is also a three pack with two other Zoombini games I didn't even know existed. We'll find out soon enough if they work on a Mac running OS 10.8, as I could not resist and have just ordered them...
