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
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.
Number Munchers
This game was one of the reasons I went to school.
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.
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.

Commander Keen:
Can’t forget good ol’ Ski Free:
Hell yeah, Keen is a classic, I gotta emulate it sometime to relive the memories
Commander Keen:
Awesome. That’s a screenshot that I can hear. Nice.
The Dr. Brain series.
The Incredible Toon Machine.
The EcoQuest series.
Thinkin Things
And Sammy’s Science House
Anyone remember willy the caveman?
Roadrash & Prince of Persia & IGI 2
I like how if you hadn’t put IGI, there’s no way to tell if you’re talking early 90s or late 2000s
Although I never saw the packaging. All games I had for the C64 I got at school.
Wonder Boy in Monster Land on the sega master system.
I’m frustrated I can’t seem to find a place to buy it for pc easily. (Admittedly it’s not like I’m trying very hard since I’m not really interested in tweaking with simulators and stuff.) There was a game with that name in a sega retro thing sold on Steam but it’s definitely not the original version. I still know the start by heart.
Petz and Oddballz!
DESQview - multi-tasking for DOS:
Norton Commander - shell/file manager for DOS:
I ran a BBS under DESQview X and it worked flawlessly!
It’s amazing how DESQview had pre-emptive multitasking which Microsoft couldn’t do until Windows NT.
Same here I had it running a BBS, FidoNet I think.
