Jumpstart 4th Grade Haunted Island
Teaches a bunch of subjects and helps develop problem-solving skills; its soundtrack has zero right to be so bitchin' but it is
Was asking about this today because I couldnt remember the name or franchise and Lemmy came thru, reuniting me with yet another thing I could remember sound of but not the content or name, long thought lost to the sands of time
Looking for stuff like Reader Rabbit, KidPyx, etc
Pajama Sam: You are What you Eat From Your Head to Your Feet was a favorite of mine as a child:
Also had to look it up but Elmo’s Preschool was a big feature of my under-5 PC gaming:
2nd grade or so was a lot of Disney Princess: Magical Dressup with some cute mini games and a LOT of uncanny valley jank lol:
And alongside that was the PC version of Battle for Bikini Bottom, with mini games instead of the platformer the console had, but I’m struggling to find any decent gameplay screen grabs.
Of course that’s all just PC gaming.
Anybody remember the Cartoon Network island flash games? It was like a resort and I could have sworn there were multiple installments.
Ultima V
Infocom games such as Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
I grew up on 500-in-1 shareware discs as a real young kid, got into playing heaps of Runescape on mom's laptop in late primary school, and when she eventually got me my own Pentium 4 PC I played the ever-loving shit outta the classic Source games and mods. Many nights were spent with my international pals playing Garry's Mod or Zombie Master til the early winking of daylight met my dried, crusty eyes. Good times. Better times.
Drip, Marble Madness, Lemmings
I played all sorts of edutainment games, but I’ll give a deep cut and go with Grammar Games. I’ve never tried booting it up as an adult. I wonder if it holds up even slightly.
Lode Runner: The Legend Returns was a game that came preinstalled by Compaq on Windows 95. Around age five I found the game captivating, and the level editor was fantastic for my brother and I.
Minicar racing. I miss that game.
I have fond childhood memories of playing Doom 3 with the lights off in my basement. Scariest shit ever.
Also Metal Gear Solid 2 stands out as a game that blew my mind.
Logical Journey of the Zoombinis, Gizmos and Gadgets, All of the Carmen Sandiego titles (US, World, Space, etc.), Commander Keen
Tarzan
Animorphs game from the Animorphs website, back when the internet was new
Chess Master 5000
Holy crap that Animorphs game; I absolutely remember playing that. Stupid Yeerks
Moctezuma's Revenge and Bruce Lee on the Commodore64
Chuck Rock
That's the reissue. Nice!
Hyper Card
Kid Pix
I had so much fun with hyper card! We had to use it in my programming class, I made a small text based RPG out of it!
I made RPGs, platformers, space alien style arcade shooters, utilities. It was a huge contributor to my love of computers. RIP Bill Atkinson!
Number Munchers
Can you embed a pic for it for the rest of the class ;)
Daaaamn! You had color? I only had monochrome on the Apple IIe at school for this game.
This game was one of the reasons I went to school.
