Educational computer games
 

I was talkin with my freind about these games, anyone remember 'em?

These were actually fun as ****, and only because they never taugh me anything. My favorites were Jumpstart (fill in the grade), Putt-Putt Save the Zoo, Freddi Fish, Math Blaster and the epic Oregon Trail.

There was also this math game that was on a snowy mountain, anyone remember what that was called?

I used to play Math Blaster and Oregon (and later, Amazon) Trail a lot. There was also a science based one for the Apple IIE that I played way back in the day that had you finding polarities or something... I think there was rocks or giant noses or something-or-other... I know, I'm no help :lol:

Why aren't educational games in the present even entertaining anymore?

Math Blaster rocked **** Oregon Trail I always drowned in that game. The weird jungle one where you took pictures of animals was kinda fun. We also had this game where you get to be in a rock band or something.

I played the Magic School bus game at school in 5th grade. Then I swiped the CD and now I have it back at home. That game is so damn fun. It's for DOS, baby!

Oh god... DOS. I failed second semester of Computer Construction because I couldn't remember anything other than DOSbear and autoexec.bat :(
