StaceyPowers Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Does anyone fondly recollect educational games from their childhoods? I recall as a little kid being hooked on a series of games called “Math Blasters” on PC. There were some cool science games as well, but I have no idea anymore what they were called. I think one could argue that almost any game can be educational in one respect or another. But in this case, I am referring specifically to games which were designed with education as their key purpose. DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I remember there were some educational games by funskool which used to have name guessing, animal food etc. Those were pretty fun games. And after that I followed some of the math specific games in the console too. It was fun to play those games. DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravosi Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I used to have some explorer game, don't remember the name. But it started with a guy telling me to collect my back pack with most important stuff. He'd laugh if I had chosen a fridge with me on my journey.

The Blackangel Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Mario Is Missing was always my favorite educational game. When I played it on SNES, I didn't even know it was an educational game. I just thought it was fun as hell. DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that game is, possible that could be raymonds adventure or some other clone of it. Looks like dora type game. Lot of such games were made in the 90s and early 2000s for kids.

There were only humans there. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyxx Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Yeah I played a ton of them, especially those point-and-click type of games with a lot of animation. DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Another couple games that were a blast to play were Operation Weather Disaster and Skytrip USA. They were educational, but more than fun. Both were PC games. DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are your sure it isn't a she and you're not talking about Dora The Explorer? On 8/31/2019 at 2:37 AM, skyfire said: For some reason I feel like he is male version of dora the explorer. Just kidding. Either he is confusing it with Dora the explorer or you may be on to something here because it does sound like Dora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyxx Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I mostly played ones that were Norwegian or Scandinavian. One example are the Hugo games we had over here. This one in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Never came across Hugo. Maybe it's just nordik gaming community that played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
