I can't remember the name of it, but you start off in some space station and you have to solve math problems to provide your ship with everything it needs like fuel and supplies to be able to take off, then you do some more puzzles while flying through space. It was really weird, there was even a shopping section obviously for money-based puzzles.

I don't remember a particular computer class, but I know we played Oregon Trail. Can't remember which version... it had CGA colors if I remember correctly.

Another one was a math game called Mental Math Games. It was made up of a number of mini games, one called Cycles where you controlled a little bike thing like in Tron and you solved math questions to turn and beat your enemies. Another involved guiding a mouse through a maze using a solve a certain problem to go a certain direction control scheme, like Cycles. Another game in it was something like having a gorilla use one of those test your strength things at the circus. After just checking it apparently it is freeware these days on the Internet Archive.

Living in Oregon my whole life, you bet your ass every computer had a copy of Oregon Trail.

Super Solvers Outnumbered. Thought this game was the shit back in the day

I wonder why Oregon Trail was apparently such a widesperad game in schools. I don't even remember it really teaching me much beyond buffalo gave you more meat than you could carry back. I wonder if there was some hard marketing campaign that convinced US school districts to buy it.

Good question, I doubt any of the teachers or what have you really looked that deeply into it, they probably just figured "meh, oregon trail, must be educational right?"

Of course there were literally dozens of different versions, some more in depth than others.

Hell, I remember getting one of the librarians to install this civil war game, that was literally just a blue and the grey version of Doom, gore and all, you even shot cannons and shit, and the teachers didn't think twice about it.

Ahhhh, to be back in the days of uncaring adults not giving two shits about "VIDYUH GAEM VYOLENS"...

oregon trail is pretty much a masterpiece as far as educational games go

a young american kid in the 90s is gonna have a hard time wrapping their head around how insanely dangerous that trip was. so they made a game where the "goal" was to get there with everyone alive and healthy but it was actually planned that this would be too hard for most elementary school aged kids to pull off. it uses actual game mechanics to really put you in the shoes of someone who lived like 100 years ago, you experience their cirumstances through the game. no other educational game did that

Excellent point. As far educational games go, it is hard as fuck.

[Anonymous No.2251520]

i remember as kids every time my friends or i would play it someone would always die or we just wouldn't get there at all. but i actually played it a couple years ago and got there with everyone fine really easily. they did a really good job of balancing the difficulty for kids

[Anonymous No.2251521]

How sad is it that I skipped recess on a regular basis to stay inside and play this?

[Anonymous No.2251539]

We had a multiplayer game going on most of the time, even during class. The teacher usually gave us an assignment and after it was done, we could do whatever. So we draw a square on qbasic and rest of the class played ROTT.

[Anonymous No.2251551]

Don't remember ever getting past the first level but this was the only game we were allowed to play in primary school. For "educational purposes".

Don't think the teacher actually looked at it.

An IBM and translated to my native language version none the less. It's one of those games that seems to be lost to the ages, only the ZX Spectrum version seems to have been digitally archived.

Okay, maybe someone can help me here but I remember playing a game all the time in Kindergarten. The game involved you playing as Mickey Mouse just hanging out at your house. You can invite your friends to come over except you could never get Goofy there because when you called him he would pick up a banana instead of the phone. That used to always bug me.

How has no one posted DinoPark Tycoon?

I played the hell out of this game. One time I played it with another smart kid and we "beat" the game, or at least we made a functioning theme park that was pulling in money. Felt good, man. We were only like eight years old and dealing with business loans in the game and stuff.

Good memories. I also remember some game that is supposed to teaching typing skills. Can't remember the name of it. It had these weird little creatures in it, possibly aliens.

[Anonymous No.2251858]

I remember it was something like this except there was a turtle as a cursor. More of a programming thing than a game.

[Anonymous No.2251860]

>>2251439
This was mine too. Not computer class exactly, but I spent three years of drafting classes basically perfecting Doom and then Doom II. Our teacher was ancient and retiring and really didn't give a fuck.

Another guy spent the whole time playing Civilization and had a game where he left one Civ alive and cultivated and railroaded every tile on the world or something ridiculous like that,

That's a programming language called Logo. There are a decent number of clones of it.

I remember one version of Writer Rabbit or some similar crappy educational game had a single level that was, for whatever reason, a helicopter shooter. I played that one a lot.

Dyno Park Tycoon was popular at my school, but I never played it myself. Too busy playing Sim Tower.

[Anonymous No.2255837]

School had number munchers and word munchers. Oh yeah and there was this typing 'game' called PAWS, I believe (time for bragging: I had the best WPM of anyone in my class and I was one of the very few in computer lab to not look at the keyboard when typing. I had a bit of an 'unfair' advantage by having a computer in my home since about the age of 6. In fact, computer lab didn't really start until, as I recall, the 3rd game. Hell, the first day we did computer lab the boy on the computer next to the one I was one at some point ended up calling some other guys over and so you had like 4 boys huddled around the computer chair watching in astonishment at how I was typing so fast without looking at the computer. Hell, one of them was one of the school jocks who said something along the lines of "That's incredible. How is (anon) doing that?".

Do you know what a rush of confidence and such that sort of thing gives to someone who is always the loser when it comes to sports and things like that?)

The real action, however, was at the public (not school) library's computer. I'm pretty sure there was often a waiting list policy because, the computer was a Windows 3.1 computer with the early 90's Oregon Trail and a few or so Living Books that everyone wanted a chance at playing. At least one of them was an Arthur one lol

til it got banned. for selling and buying of clothes in a game thats a glorified dressup. me and about 4 other friends got it banned, until i leaned enough about proxies to get most of the class to play runescape or pawngame during pc time,

In my woodshop class there was a computer lab and our teacher really did not give a fuck so like 5 of us would just have CS 1.6 lan parties. I remember one time this asian kid headshotted another guy and he flipped out, punched his computer screen, threw over his chair, and the two of them started fighting before someone stopped it.

[Anonymous No.2257273]

I know this is a long shot but can anyone help me remember the name of a game I used to play all the time in computer class? It was about a tribe of these little balls that you had to control throughout levels. I think they were just blue balls with eyes and it had a south american tribe feel to it. Can't place my finger on it I was to say it was something like Goombeez.

I played an unreasonable amount of this when I was young. Never was any good.

my dad took me into work one day and I played this on a machine there and wondered why the window was so small
turns out, our home computer was just shit and didn't go above 640x480, and the work machine was 1024x768

>>2251402
This was pretty much half of my computer class growing up. We'd do Mavis Beacon or whatever for a while, and then the teacher would tell us to play Math Blaster or one of the other games like that (everyone played Math Blaster when given a choice).

Not a game, but my friends and I would use notepad as a messaging service. Since all the computers were on the same network, you could access files from every computer. We'd save the txt file as "Mr.hons sucks cock"
