Tarzan Print Activity Center

Graphics & Sound:
This little print program does a whole lot of stuff. Banners, cards, door-hangers, calendars, and trading cards are just a few things that the Print Center can create. The only real flaw, of course, is that all that the Tarzan Print Activity Center prints is, well, Tarzan stuff. You can’t print anything from other movies, which is completely understandable. But it’s a definite problem. You’d have to buy a print center for every themed party that you want to throw for your kids. Ah, well. They’re not really expensive anyways, and if you don’t use too much specialized paper, it shouldn’t really be a problem.

Gameplay:
The prints come out at the best quality that your printer can handle. You don’t have to worry about shoddy screen-to-printer formatting, mind you. The program itself is very well presented, with a clean interface, and for the limited amount of stuff (well, it’s lots of stuff, but it’s all Tarzan -- although you can remove the characters if you don’t want them) that it does, it does it very well. It prints calendars well past the 2300’s as well, so if you’re hurting to find just when the next day everyone in the office is available for a meeting, it could be useful for that as well.

Difficulty:
Tarzan Print Activity Center is very easy to use. You can use the pre-made themed cards and banners and whatnot, or you can design your own with Tarzan graphics. None of the buttons are labeled, but if you leave the mouse cursor on top of them for a second or so, little “tool tips” pop up that tell you just what the button does. Since this is both an adults and kids’ tool, it’s really a neat way to compromise. You select the paper type that you want to use, which potentially could be confusing at first. But once you realize you can just use “Regular Paper” for everything, it’s simpler. Of course, if you go out and buy the special Avery paper, so much the better for you. The only real problem with the ease of use is that the program almost gives too much control -- perhaps a variable “use” setting would be nice, so kids could make things without getting frustrated with all the buttons, and adults could have their own setting where they tinker to their heart’s content.

Game Mechanics:
To install Tarzan Print Activity Center, insert the disc, click “Install,” and then reboot. Not the most difficult installer I’ve ever seen. And it’s even got cute Disney-style MIDI music in the background the whole time. Nice.
