A place for your childhood nostalgia.
So when I was a super little kid I had games like Thinking Thing's Collection 1 and Sammy's Science House. Did you guys grow up with games like these?
That's basically all we were allowed to play for awhile. Math Blaster(s), the Jumpstart __ Grade series, Oregon Trail, Amazon Trail, Carmen Sandiego series, Lego Island (how'd that get in there?), some LeapFrog stuff, anything else from Brøderbund or Sierra.
That's legit lol I remember Math Blaster, or at least I think my school had it. Good times!
I always wondered what happened to these
Yeah me too. If not education they were at least pretty fun.
For some reason it looks like a game I played only once in speech therapy, but I doubt that's it because it looks too sometime in the 90s to be the right game. That, or I'm not getting enough pixels for a clear image.
Cannot say I ever had either of those, though. I had the technically hand-me-down Hooked On Phonics, a The Land Before Time math game, Franklin The Turtle's Clubhouse Adventures, and that's all I can remember for strictly edutainment if we ain't including an I Spy game taking place in a quaint, possibly seaside, town ( not very specific, but I ain't gonna go through the trouble of looking it up ).
If you count the games I played at speech therapy, then the Spy Fox game about stopping someone from using a giant aerosol can to destroy the ozone layer, a Pajamaman Sam, and a game for slightly older kids that I can picture but not describe and will never know the name of, would make 3 extra titles, even if I was on rare occasion able to play.
Edit:
Apparently the title is Franklin The Turtle's Clubhouse Adventure and not just Franklin's Clubhouse Adventure.
Yeah, Thinking Thing was from 1991 I believe. That's awesome though, I'm trying to remember this other math game, I think it was math adventure. Goofy little game.
Also fuck yeah, Spy Fox and Pajama Sam. Man, the games from that company were great. I played the demos for I think there was one for each, and it came with my copy of putt putt travels through time.
omg this brings back memories. i bastardized the shit out of these titles.. dos based, easy peasy to toss over a network and run on dozens of machines
Yeah, man this and the old point and click games based off like Magic School Bus
😳 Memory unlocked…
Hell yeah, then mission accomplished. Welcome to good vibes. :)
What was that, amazing machine game?
It was a pretty decent game.
We had a lot of fun with it
Haha yeah, same here! :)
You betcha, I spent untold hours with my dad trying to crack the puzzles of this absolute banger.
Oh man that looks like a banger! I'm trying to remember what it was but there was a point and click magic school bus game where you made an id to start lol
It is a banger. You learn how to make paper from wood pulp, batteries from a lemon and a nail and all sorts of fun basic chemistry stuff! I still have the CD for it lying around somewhere (no disc drive through! 😅)
That's legit haha! I'm curious how the lemon and nails thing works! :p
If I remember right you needed to make it to power up an electric On switch to an elevator or something like that.
God I miss goofy stuff like this
Various "Teaches Typing" games from Mavis Beacon to Mario and Typing of the Dead.
Math Blaster
Mario is Missing
I remember the Putt-Putt games being labeled as "edutainment" but I can not really remember anything educational about the ones I had. 🤷♂️
Lunar Lander and the OG, Oregon Trail.
OH SHIT DUDE Math Blaster I think my school had that back in the day! Also Putt putt was the shit! Which game did you have?
