Post a pic if at all possible

Jumpstart 4th Grade Haunted Island

Teaches a bunch of subjects and helps develop problem-solving skills; its soundtrack has zero right to be so bitchin' but it is

Was asking about this today because I couldnt remember the name or franchise and Lemmy came thru, reuniting me with yet another thing I could remember sound of but not the content or name, long thought lost to the sands of time

Looking for stuff like Reader Rabbit, KidPyx, etc

Most of the stuff was whatever demos came with those magazine CDs. Half wouldn't run on the family computer - none of LucasArts' adventure games did. Some that did run and I remember playing were:

  • Diablo (only the 1st level of the dungeon available, the Butcher would also show up and kill you after you cleared it, got out and went back)
  • Age of Empires (3 small scenario maps, which I played to death)
  • Stargunner (only 3 levels and most of the equipment wasn't available)
  • Raptor (some weapons were locked but, weirdly enough, one time the game "registered itself" and all weapons were unlocked. No idea wtf happened)
    \
  • (EDIT) Capture the flag (yes, the game's name was just that. A turn based capture the flag that really left me wanting that level editor! Also, that's a link for the developer's site, he's still selling his games)

One of the few things we had was Lion King's Activity Center (Brazilian version, Centro de Atividades). I distinctly remember that, for whatever reason, the VA for Rafiki was different from the movie

At my dad, I played a lot of Lemmings and some of those Arthur interactive books. To my then non-english-speaking ass, the story reading was mostly pointless, but most scenes would let you click around to see what happened, characters would either say something or do something funny (I personally loved one where you clicked DW and she'd ride her bike over a small hill, crashing then coming back)

Also this one, which I don't think I enjoyed as much as Arthur for whatever reason

(That picture immediately made me "smell" crayons. Is there a word for when a picture reminds you of a smell?)
