Number muncher was cool. These was also an apple ii bowling game we used to play. If you figured out the correct spot and numbers you could roll a strike every time. Took,me about a week and then it just wasn't fun anymore.

Also Oregon trail. Math blaster and a this weird art game thing with a blue guy.

jazz jackrabbit

Math Circus

Mario Teaches Typing was pretty cool. Apart from that, I remember playing some Busytown game and some educational thing with movies involving undersea animals.

>this weird art game thing with a blue guy.
Mczee? I played that too. It was plain bizarre, man.

>>1269991 yeah. That sounds right. And the under water mouse pointer game is probably the same one. It was actually pretty good graphics wise considering it was tuning on old powermacs and stuff.

I'm trying to find an old racing game i played in school. I remember formula 1 style cars. the graphics were very early 3d polygonal. i think it was on a mac. probably around 1999 but the computer was likely several years old.

Snipes. Technically an older student brought it in and hid it on the computers.

fucking Gorillas

I like how in Nibbles it called you out for cheating if you kept tapping pause while playing.

Crazy Gravity

I played a lot of Odell lake. I think I also played an updated version later down the road.

There was also a game where you designed vehicles and got to test them out. I can't remember what it was though, mid 90s.

Also, DinoPark Tycooon.

>>1270041
Fuck yea gorillas! I loved this game.

We actually had Mortal Kombat 2 on one of the 486s. For a while in the winter of 1997 some glorious duels were had between the class students. Unfortunately one of the teachers eventually found out and promptly deleted it. But not before I managed to copy it. :p

>>1270106

i think i remember the vehicle game, did you have to find all the pieces in these weird platformer-ish levels?

>>1270349
Not that I can remember. It had pretty nice kinda 3d graphics. Think it something to do with Discovery Channel or Bill Nye. Mostly built aircraft....gahhh my brain doesn't work.

The absolute most recent game that was in my schools computers. I was actually surprised when I read that it came out in 97, it must have been just out before I left school......

I can remember playing fuckin manic miner and space invaders on acorn computers, going into the code and altering it to slag off my mates when they got a good score...

>>1270549
Fucksake, forgot the pic then posted a different one.....

>>1270346

OP's image gave me all kinds of flashbacks.

Also the other ones in the series, Treasure Mathstorm and Treasure Mountain.

I never even knew that wasn't even the main series.

Technically, since the copy on the original was deleted, it was transferred, not duplicated.

ugh

I'm trying to remember the name of a game I played in class all the time. One segment of it definitely featured a horse in a cookie factory who would scold you if you put the improper amount of chocolate chips on your cookie, and would then proceed to eat it.

>>1270573
Whoa, I played that on an Apple II/GS

I believe it was called "Sea Turtle Rescue" but I can't find any trace of it online. It was a graphic adventure where you played a private detective who traveled to Florida to bust turtle poachers. The thing was super detailed and had all kinds of film noir type detective shit. Like, you actually started in your office and had to collect items you might need. Flashlight, knife, plane tickets to Florida, etc. On the ground you searched for poachers and had to phone their license plate numbers in to the cops. It kicked so much ass.

The game ran on PC but interfaced with a laserdisc player to access fullscreen video of sea turtles. This was back in like '91, I think (based on the fact my dad brought me a Power Ranger when he picked me up), so it was a pretty damn high end set up. Probably very few were produced. This was at the San Jose Childrens Discovery Museum computer lab. Anybody remember this shit?

>>1269970

We had Number Munchers and Oregon Trail as well.

My 1st grade class had it's own Apple II and on that I believe we had Gertrude's Secrets.

>>1269965
aw shit, used to play crosscountry 2 all of the time in elementary school. couldn't remember the name, so thanks

Anyone remember the game where you create movies by creating movement paths and dialogue for these weird, animal characters? I can't remember the name at all...used to play that all the time. Anyone have the name to this?

All I remember is this weird crocodile character in a hawaiin shirt...

>>1269965
Fuck yes. That, Storybook Weaver, and the DOS version of Island. Fuck Kid Pix.

>>1270769
Hollywood?

Turtle

Had a D&D nerd teacher who had Nethack on all the computers when I was like twelve. Fuck yes.

>>1271330
I think you mean LOGO.

This and Millie's Math House are ingrained in my memory

>>1270716
>Power Ranegrs
>1991

Probably more like 93 or 94, if he bought you a ranger toy

>>1271998
I used to play the FUCK out of the original World of Warcraft, plus there was Sim Town and Sim City. The only reason I'm mentioning Blood Bath is there was a demo disc I'd play every now and then just to be an edgy 12 year old, and because I'd never be able to get away playing that shit in a middle school nowadays without expulsion and a mental health evaluation.

Sim Town I think was my favorite, many good memories playing that.

We had this game called 'Spellbound' that taught you to spell through wordsearches.

I remember feeling like a total boss because I realised once I found 'DIDNT' I could just click the same letters for 'DID' without having to find where they actually put it.

>>1270513
maybe you're thinking of Invention Studio?

>>1269974
awww shit!
This WAS videa for me until I was in grade three or so. Was convinced it was the coolest shit ever, and it was responsible for me wearing baseball caps pulled way too far down over my face.

For all you people talking about number muncher, any of you guys remember troggle trouble?
Shit was beyond fly, yo

>>1274078

This fucking game.

Everyone going crazy trying to make an airplane that didn't immediately crash when all you had to do was match the obviously matching parts.

I had operation neptune at home. I really liked the game and thought it was rad. I wonder how terrible it actually is, since I haven't played it since 1994.

>>1274078
That's the one! Thanks a bunch.
