As well as Hiragana/Katakana, they have a fun "Kanji Invader" game. This is especially helpful if you are using NAKAMA, as it is based on that book. (I will be doing extensive research on this subject since I am taking Japanese 001 this semester, and will struggle hard to keep up w/ the regular students :-) ) We, too, discovered that our earlier Mac material is not usable in OS 8 or 9.
