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
Asteroids, Missile Command, and Combat.
Lemmings

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.
Does anyone else remember the zero-player game Progress Quest?
A classic!
The first video game I ever played was a Lode Runner clone for the IBM PC called Freddy’s Rescue Roundup.
Monster Bash!
And Alex the Kidd on my brother’s Sega
Chip’s Challenge:
Commander Keen:
Can’t forget good ol’ Ski Free:
Commander Keen:
Awesome. That’s a screenshot that I can hear. Nice.
Hell yeah, Keen is a classic, I gotta emulate it sometime to relive the memories
Chuck’s Challenge 3D is a spiritual sequel of Chip’s Challenge, with the same puzzle designer
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.
one of the best DOS games ever, Battle Chess!
watching the knight lop the arms off the pawns never got old!
Thank you! I was afraid this was just a fever dream.
Encarta 95 Mind Maze
It’s a jungle out there and I oughta know!
Hyper Card
Kid Pix
Kid Pix! Did you get it at a CompUSA perchance?
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!
For those like me that don’t know HyperCard, it’s a visual programming tool for Apple II. Ars Technica has a good rundown with more technical and historical details
Foe Apple II? No, it runs on Macintoshes not Apple machines (other than the IIgs but that’s kind of an odd ball). It was developed until the mid 2000s.
“visual programming” I would also say isn’t quite correct. The programming was textual, using a Hyper Talk based language (based on Small Talk). But it interacted with visual objects. Kinda like Flash (which was also Hyper Talk based if memory serves).
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
