    I remember my first educational game. Math blaster (or something like that) the first edition. Good times.

    @Kamatari+: Mine was The Logical Journey Of The Zoombinis. How I used to ace the hardest mode on that game I have no idea. Maybe 7 year old me is just plain smarter than current me.

    @Pombar: Zoombinis!!! I loved that game, I don't know how many hours I sunk into it as a kid. The announcer guy was awesome and the games were great *checks amazon prices for re-buying game*.

    Now that I think about it I have learned more from games that were not trying to teach me anything then games that are.


    How many people know who the goddess Izanami is?

    Kids these days don't know the true beauty behind Math Blasters and the MECC games, like Number Crunchers.

    @crunks: Number Crunchers hell yeah!


    Also the M&M game, anyone ever play that? It was a Crash Bandicoot rip-off (with oddly EXCELLENT mechanics and level design) mashed up with a simple driving game and math levels. It was actually really fun and well-designed (pretty tough at the end, too!).

    @cfive3: Nope, haven't played it. I've only played the edutainment games that they install on Elementary school computers, lol. Of course, those computers also had MDK2 and Deimos Rising, so I don't know HOW they expected us to learn anything.
