I recently found a box of old computer games and was instantly met with all the childhood memories. Something about a '90s PC game hits different — back when games were megabytes instead of gigabytes.
I compiled a list of my favorites I hope will take you back to the good ol' days! Check out the YouTube walkthroughs linked below for even more reminiscing.
1.The ClueFinders 3rd Grade Adventures: Mystery of Mathra
Not only were the puzzles fun, but the game had vibrant colors and a fun sidekick character that gave you hints. So good!
2.The Oregon Trail: 5th Edition
Choosing your supplies at the beginning was always my favorite part!
As you traveled in the game, a series of cutscenes followed Parker, Cassie, Jimmy, and Captain Jed, navigating their way to Oregon.
3.JumpStart 1st Grade
I'm impressed she had so many pennies to begin with.
Doesn't that cafeteria food look appetizing?
4.Backyard Baseball
For more information on this game, read the history behind it.
5.Big Action Garage
(I was apparently very scared of Tuffy the Tow Truck as a kid).
"Conjunction Junction, what's your function?" (Such a catchy song!) These games brought the SchoolHouse Rock characters to life through a series of grammar and math-related mini-games.
Each had an overarching objective (convincing the characters to join your band or bringing the characters to the diner for a big party). You had to win every mini-game to do so, and my favorite was finding the farmer in the hay bales in Math Rock.
The Grammar Rock Diner!
The colorful world of Math Rock.
7.Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? (Junior Detective Edition)
8.My Disney Kitchen
You can't tell me this cake doesn't look amazing.
How cute are they?
9.Arthur's Math Carnival
Everything on the menu looks pretty good, but idk about those veggie pops...
10.Arthur's Computer Adventure
Watch out for those nasty sea ghosts!
11.Reader Rabbit Math Adventures (Ages 6-9)
Uh-oh, shipwrecked!
Fun fact: The main villain was voiced by Charles Martinet (who you might recognize as the voice of Mario!)
12.Science Sleuths
Each case had various levels of difficulty, and it wasn't easy, but it made you feel like a scientist.
13.Treasure Mountain! / Treasure Cove!
The underwater world of Treasure Cove.
The art style of these games gives me such nostalgia!
UK media is spending another weekend poring over the invitation list of “the society wedding of the year” with reports that Prince William is set for a high-profile role with his son George also set to feature, while his brother Prince Harry will be binning his invitation, and their father King Charles’s attendance remains unconfirmed. …
