This puzzle was and still is a winner. Some things never change and this one is still great. I've givin an extra star for the nostalgic "retro" attention to detail.

Our 9-year-old saw one of the kids at school play with this. So of course the nagging started as soon as we got home. Fortunately, I remember this puzzle since when I was a kid and had no problem giving in.... :-)
Also:
- it is inexpensive (unlike the playstation and x-box); which is a huge benefit, since we have 3 kids and things like this have to be bought in triplicate
- it is made of metal, so that even our 5-year-old couldn't break it
- IT IS GREAT FUN

This is a great game to carry with you when you go out. I bought it for my 4 year old son initially because he likes the 3x3 puzzle game we bought for him before. This one is a little more challenging than the 3x3 puzzle but overall my boy still likes it when he moves the number around. He does need a lot of help to solve this puzzle. I have a lot of fun playing it myself and would carry it to play sometimes when I go out. Overall this is a great toy for both adults and kids.

I recently purchased this puzzle for my son who is 5. He is gifted with advanced spatial and cognitive skills. I know from using this toy as a child that it will be a good brain exerciser for him.
As for the quality, I haven't seen a better more "solid" puzzle. Most of the ones I had as a child were made of plastic but this one is high quality metal. The pieces slide very easily. It comes with a little pouch. This is a cool puzzle!

I was absolutely elated to get this game. First, it has been years since I've played it. More young people need to be exposed to it. The steel case makes it durable so it's impervious to lots of wear and tear. The case protects it from damage too. I really enjoy this game, and I plan on buying one for each of the little kids and the big ones in my household.
