    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

          The first video game I ever played was a Lode Runner clone for the IBM PC called Freddy's Rescue Roundup.

              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.

                          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
