Computerspielerei
The colorful graphics on the box and the exciting cover text promise a great time and money well spent. You dish out € 30 or € 40, only to find out that the computer game you have purchased is as dull as German television programming. Cartoons of innocent pastel puppies and Monarch butterflies give you the warm feeling that the CD-ROM inside the packaging will help your nephew to count—what you didn’t know is that he will have to go on a rather violent cyber shooting spree to do so. Sabine Memmesheimer, owner of Computerspielerei on Kazmairstr. 81 in Munich’s Westend, offers game software buyers the chance to beware: all merchandise in her store may be opened and tested before purchasing it. Memmesheimer, who recently became a certified computer learning tool consultant, helps customers choose the right educational software for children ranging from tots to teens and gives adult mouse clickers the inside skinny on what new games are hot or not.
