    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

      Lode Runner: The Legend Returns was a game that came preinstalled by Compaq on Windows 95. Around age five I found the game captivating, and the level editor was fantastic for my brother and I.

                  Big Action Garage

                  Tonka Construction

                  Zoombinis
                  All the Humongous and Jumpstart games

                  Spy Fox was the best from Humongous IMO. Ms Monkey Penny?!? Hilarious. And I played that space bullet hell game soooo much.

                          Did they probably have this game/system at like a YMCA computer loft type context?

                          This feels like another game I vaguely remember but couldnt remember exactly
