Ok, back in the lost days of the mid to late nineties there were a few computer (learning) games that were floating around. All of a sudden I have a desire to play them. The unfortunate part is that, although I sustain a rather vivid image of the games themselves, I cannot remember the names. This could be a fun trip to yesteryear for some of us. So, without further stalling for time, here are some brief descriptions(I will try my best):
1. The first and possibly the coolest was a game in which you started as a little boy on a cruise ship your parents. You were all on vacation through the Bermuda Triangle when suddenly you hit some time warp or something crazy. Next thin you know, you're stranding on an island inside the body of a weird looking doll. (I recall a creepy image of a swirling circle inside the mouth of the doll and you fall into it) After that, the whole goal is to explore the island and figure out puzzles and collect parts to some magical machine. I think there's a witch who dod all this to you some where in there. I also remember a game with music records lying on the beach and you had to pick the correct one or something. There was a big pot in which you mixed your collected items too...
2. This is a rather brief one, but still awesome none the less... There were multiple levels in a shoe making factory where you had to manage the shoe making line with all kinds of widgets and gadgets and whatnot. I believe there were workers.
3. This one rocked... I was a game based on spelling... in the amazon. There was a super old and wise shawmen with a robe, was bald, held a staff and asked you to spell things. At the end of every level you were asked to spell a ton of words that you learned or you couldn't advance. This took place on, you guessed it, the Amazon river. You were on a crude wooden raft and whatnot.
4. The last one is going to be vague... It was a game that was based on pulleys and physics. You was to figure out the push and pull of things to lift objects. I believe there were goofy characters and not great graphics. This one (unlike the rest) may have been on a Macintosh floppy disk. Man I feel old.
Anyway that's it. Some games that I actually do remember are... Snake, Oregon Trail, Oregon Trail III (2 went missing somewhere...) and that horrible Mac math game that everyone chose lat on computer game days....
Huzzah for getting old! Peace be with all.
