I bought this several years ago for the kids, and was satisfied with it.
My reason for buying it at the time was that it was the only version which
did not have copy protection.  While this may have changed, the other
versions were IBM's (copy protected), and Digital Research's (both copy
protected and ran under CP/M-86!).

LOGO is a decent programming language in its own right, sort of a LISP with
a more familiar syntax.  But this was an old implementation that was DOS 1.0
compatible (i.e., no directory support).  The did send me a  notice about a
new version recently; I don't know if they "fixed" that.  It does only 
support CGA, and even though it was advertised as having joystick support,
there was no mention of it in the package.
