Post a pic if at all possible

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

The Dr. Brain series.

The Incredible Toon Machine.

The EcoQuest series.

The first video game I ever played was a Lode Runner clone for the IBM PC called Freddy's Rescue Roundup.

Big Action Garage

Tonka Construction

Zoombinis All the Humongous and Jumpstart games

Spy Fox was the best from Humongous IMO. Ms Monkey Penny?!? Hilarious. And I played that space bullet hell game soooo much.

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.

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.
