that's all I remember
Math Blaster
>>2849834
I liked playing these when I was 6 because I liked the hot math blaster grill.
Anyone else play Waterford Institute's Mental Math Games?
Said game suite, Logo, and Oregon Trail are my strongest school computer usage memories.
>>2849847
Neglected to mention in this post, but one of the games in the MMG suite was Cycles, a game where you'd compete LAN style with other people in a Tron light cycle match with the cycles controlled by solving math problems.
Actually, it looks like someone else on here (who wasn't me, I don't think) was looking for the version with said game earlier this year. It seems like it might be unpreserved software.

lmao milly's mathhouse. ontario?
math circus , dinopark tycoon, mario typing
>>2849651
my grandparents had this on their computer
never knew anyone else who played it

jesus christ i've been looking for a math game for several years and just came across it finally after seeing if it was math blaster. it was a MECC game.
>>2849847
OH SHIT I played that in computer class! I asked about it on /vr/ once but no one replied.

Yeah, it was fun. Maze was my favorite as best I can remember. Can't find much about the version with Cycles. Only seem to be about three mentions of it online besides me, one of which is another poster on here.
This will probably be one of the most recent ones since Im 20. Haunted iSpy, came out in 99'. Even if we were supposed to be doing other shit in class Id drop it and play this every time.
>>2849882
Im actually from Michigan. Did you get any of the other games? There was like a history Lizard and English duck versions of Millies Math House.
>>2850039
I'd totally forgotten that you change forms for different levels.
I should download it and give it a shot. I forget how hard you could make the math problems. Too bad that the version with Cycles doesn't seem to be online from what I read.
>>2850048
ya we had the other ones as well
>>2849651
I've asked this in other threads, but there was this old adventure game that came on the big floppy disks (the ones that were actually floppy) that my school had in which you had to find animals hidden around a house. I think it was graphical with text parser input. However, you had to be careful because there was a dragon in the house who would eat you if you found him by accident or something.
I can't remember the name, but it was either an old Apple II or DOS game.
>>2850640
>the ones that were actually floppy
They're all floppy, retard. Just because some of them are encased in plastic doesn't change what's inside.
>>2850701
I know that. I used that to describe the exact disc.
No need to a be a dick about it. You know what I meant.
>>2850701
floppy like your penis
>>2851041
I can tie mine in a bow.
>>2850029
How effective was that at teaching people how to type? Hell how did you all learn how to type? I was self-taught solely from screwing around in chat rooms and online games most of my free time.
Logo Writer, a DOS/Mac program to learn programming by giving instructions to a turtle. Moving it around, making it draw stuff.
Adibou (1992), for little ones
>>2851853
I think my dad still has a picture I "drew" for him using some version of Logo...
>>2851923
Seems like it was MicroWorlds.
Also, in addition to the standard Oregon Trail that probably everyone on here who is over 20 or something like that played in school, we also had Yukon Trail.
>>2850458
I finally beat it. I just kept the math problems on "1+x" mode, because I'm a baby and that last level would have been annoying with the equations getting covered up.
Yeah that's what I liked about it as a kid, seeing what you would play as in the next level.
We played this in computer class. I was a little shit and set the math to the easiest level because I was only interested in exploring the levels.
my personal favorite
>>2850640
Sounds a little like Below the Root
this was my favorite game to play in computer class
>>2852878
so good.
bondi blue iMacs?
>>2852795
This and Oregon Trail. Fucking loved those shits.
>>2852893
Not him, but I played this and OP pic related on a beige Power Mac in my first grade class.
>>2849651
>All these PC learning games
>No Treasure Mountain.
Step. The. FUCK UP /vr/
>>2853262
>I'd argue that treasure math storm is the better game
Hmmmmm.... Nah. Close second though.
>>2853264
did you play outnumbered too?
>>2853270
Honestly, I don't remember.
I suppose my preference over math storm is because I was absolute shit with math as a kid.
In fact, I rarely ever use math in my daily life.
Cleaning shitters for a living is so much simpler.

everyone back the FUCK up
Nobody can back me up on this one? This is all I played in the computer lab.
>>2853287
I never had this one, but I had Word Muncher on my Tandy DOS computer.
>>2853287
This was a pretty common staple at a lot of elementary schools
>>2853291
I had that one at home.
>>2852041
I'm curious how common it was in schools. I don't get the feeling that it was that prolific.
>>2853287
it wasn't mentioned cause everyone played it
>learning games
>>2853392
kek
You guys had terrible schools.

alot of the games i used to play in comp class
>>2853485
That game was bullshit, there was no way of knowing the right answer short of trial and error. Fucking artificial difficulty.
>>2849651
>>2851827
I actually was taught by Mavis Beacon. She is an amazing sensei.
>>2853484
That's the most hideous looking shit I've seen all day.
Okay, two games. These I played between like probably 1998 and 2001 in my elementary school.
First one, you are a kid at some carnival and you try to win a freaky looking troll doll and when you do the jackass turns you into whichever doll you picked and you have to solve puzzles to try and escape from the island.
Second game, you're a fish, you eat smaller fish and grow bigger. You could also custom build a fish and even give it things like an ink sac or whatever.
Played these on mac computers, since that's what our stupid school had.
>>2854509
u don't have to mac bash here, bb.
>>2851861
Mah absolute niggah. I grew up with this one tho.
>>2853484
what the literal fuck
>>2852878
We had a couple of computers in our regular, non-computer lab classrooms, and this was the best game on them. Sometimesmost of. the timeI would stay inside during recess and play it.
There was this cartoony kids chess game I used to play a lot in the school library... All the pieces had heads/faces and when a piece was taken out by another, the defeated chess pieces would do wacky (death... kinda, animations).
I don't remember much, but what little I do remember was that for instance, when a pawn was taken it would jump up into the air, it's head would pop off and then it would fall through a hole in the board that opened up and then closed over it.
Can't for the life of me think of the title... Tried in the "Can't remember a game" thread but no luck..
Anyone have a single clue as to what the fuck I'm referring to?
>>2855709
battle chess?
>>2855714
Nah, I don't think so. They were just regular chess pieces just with faces, not soldiers/fantasy type stuff.
>>2855731
It was cartoony like... Putt Putt kind of cartoony.
>>2855125
There doesn't seem to be a whole lot out there about this game, and apparently the multiplayer version with Cycles isn't out there for download, though I'd need to verify this myself.
>>2853285
every time you discovered a secret in that game I would get scared and turn the game off. 10/10 atmosphere, very spooky
>>2853560
the guy who made this is a pretty cool guy.
>>2851827
I was able to type just fine in my own silly assed way but every time the Typing Nazi came round I pretended or else I'd be scolded
Fuck you and your typewriter ass - I do what I want
>>2853560
I would bomb a McDonalds for a zip of the sound effects for this program
alright see if you can identify this mystery program/game thing.
mid-late 90's. It wasn't kid pix, but it was some other weird sort of creative program where you fucked around with shit and made like... animations or something? had music and sound effects and everything. I cant remember SHIT about it.
>>2849651
>>2849882
Ontario dork here
both OP and this were probably the first two PC games I ever played
>>2853291
treasure cove was BASED
that used to be the only reason i'd go to school
>>2855895
Shit, I had a physical copy of the game (on actual floppy floppy discs and the hard floppy discs), but it's at my mom's. She moved house recently so I don't know if she kept it or not.
