did the ending scare the shit out of anyone else as a kid? i don't remember why but it was really unsettling when i beat the game matter of fact many parts of this game were very creepy to me
The sound effect in Skillway when you pick a wrong answer scared me when I was a kid. Some other bizarre things about this game scared me too. I really thought I was the only one lol
i never got far in this game...it always stressed me out and i was always paranoid that something scary would pop out in the hallways or the knight armor lmao
You know what's really funny.... My brother and I were talking about this just now and I found it for him, forgetting I found this years ago. Then I saw my previous comment from 4 years ago on here hahahahaha!
this haunted me for years! thank you for putting this up so I know I remembered correctly😂😂 can't believe I found this because all I remember from this game was a lion running through an neverending hallway😅
I always loved the character of Riddle/Rhyme. She was such a unique character in my eyes, that I would actually look forward to doing the Skillway just for her.
The Dragon is also: The Mirror, Mario and Luigi, Alistar Loveless on Cluefinders 4th grade, The Cat in the Hat and Yertle in all three Dr. Seuss games, Shakespeare and Beethoven in Carmen Sandiego's great chase through time, Jack Ramone on Cluefinders Search and Solve, Ice Breaker on Cluefinders reading adventures Sam the lion is also: The professor in Cluefinders 4th grade, Spike the porcupine in Reader Rabbit, Stone head in Cluefinders Reading adventures, Mojo JoJo and Butch on the powerpuff girls.
I liked stories that were scary as a kid, and when I first played this game, I was disappointed at the end when the dragon turned out to be a good guy. I thought we were going to get an epic fight. But my disappointment didn't last long, because the ending was hilarious. I haven't played this game in years.
CEO100able yes as he was voiced by roger l Jackson, the voice of butch (the voice he was making in the game) mojo in the powerpuff girls, and ghosface from scream.
+GamingDude888 Don't worry, you're not alone. My essays basically amounted to me hitting random keys on the keyboard. Something like: kljhad jhalkfhdaklj wuieroap qoi u ajdflkajsdlk fioauopeuwroakjd fal;kj dals;kfj a;iuwoea;jdkha fjkah fjskahgfuwa jkah fuawyherla But since I'm older and can articulate thoughts better now...I tend to be a little more creative with it :)
I was in 3rd grade when this game came out, and I would play it with my cousin, who was in 2nd grade. We used to tear up when this song would come on. There was something wrong with us lol, but it might be a testament to how good the music was in this game.
Yess finally found this game!! Searched for a total of about 3 hours to find it.. for some reason this game creeped me out as a kid. I remember the hallways being darker.
Thank you so much for uploading this. I feel like I'm reliving my childhood. The stories you wrote got a good chuckle out of me. 😄 And who knew how much personality could show through cursor movements? 🤣 And thanks for letting us bask in the soundtrack, it's much appreciated.
I remember the Reader Rabbit games. I played Reader Rabbit Toddler, Reader Rabbit: Learn to Read with Phonics, etc. Did you know that there's another game series made by the same company called "The ClueFinders," which is a counterpart to this series for older children? I think you'd like its games since they're pretty much like the Junior Adventure games made by Humongous Entertainment.
I'm from England and I had this game and it was in British English with different voices for the characters. I had quite a few of the learning company's programmes. Good Memories from my childhood. Thanks for uploading the game!
holy shit i was looking for this!!! i had to call my mom to ask her what this game was called!! i was like "mom what was that game i used to play when i was really little with the lion and the fractions??" and she remembered!!! same with The ClueFinders!!!! damn i used to replay the ending all the time because i loved watching reader rabbit and sam go on the rocket, it drove me wild. where did the time go
Randomly remembered this from my childhood. Sitting down at the kicthen bench with my chunky ass laptop trying this shit to load up. The nostalgia is real. 😭😩
I’m so amazed that not only is Drayson voiced by Mario voice actor Charles Martinet, but I’m amazed Martinet can also sing, as he performed the whole dragon song himself.
Dude this game was an absolute trip. It somehow was one of the best games I have ever played as a kid 1:19:07 Btw was that Bowser’s Head mounted on the wall?! 😳
I liked this game, until about halfway through tower 2. At that point, despair set in for my little 2nd grade heart, and I began...HATING this game. Really, truly hating it with a burning fire inside me that filled me with rage at the very notion of ever playing it. But I knew that I had started it, I had made it halfway through the game, and I would FINISH IT. And that's the story of how that twisted little second-grader turned into an extremely twisted adult that I am now.
Oh man, this brings back memories... though for some reason this game scared me when I was little, lol. Edit: Also a big fan of the southern belle knight, who I completely forgot about til now. :P
This game messed me up as a kid. I had terrible nightmares. It's reassuring to find this again almost 20 years later, see all the comments, and know that I wasn't the only one.
I find it hilarious now that the dragon I was so afraid of as a young kid was voiced by the same person who voiced Mario in the Nintendo games I enjoyed around the same time.
Another thing - as a kid I literally thought this was a slender man or FNAF type game where I would need to avoid the dragon and sleuth around the castle while completing puzzles, or risk getting jump scared and the lion dying. I had no context as young kid to know that kind of this was never going to happen in an educational game like this. I have no idea how I had these preconceptions in my mind well before games with these sorts of mechanics ever existed.
The first time through on most of the activities I decided to let you listen to the music, since a certain uploader forgot a few. Every other time I just let the dialog finish.
That's actually why I stuck around for that piece, the other guy who uploaded this game's music forgot about that one. I did the same for the Read and Reflect Hallway.
i had completely forgotten about this series of games. along with scamp and one other game i still cant remember these were the best memories of my childhood.
3:50 Mario's laugh! Charles Martinet voices Monstrous Mirror and the dragon. 54:29 that's the sort of stuff I would write when my teacher (2nd or 3rd grade) wanted me to put multi-sentence answers when I could sum everything up in one sentence. Roger Jackson who voiced Sam The Lion also voiced Mojo Jojo
Oh my gosh, I remember this game so clearly. I've thought about it a lot, but never thought to look it up. The music is very nostalgic, and the game was kind of creepy but also addicting to play lol. Thanks for sharing!
Wait...this game ALSO had a UK dub? Wow, I never knew that. Really, preference can be oftentimes based on which version you played first, unless the difference is really jarring. Nostalgia makes that preference even stronger. I've never heard the UK dub but to be honest I never knew Reader Rabbit games for having spectacular voice acting by any stretch, so maybe this version does sound dumb. I dunno, I'd have to check the UK dub myself. Did it have a different title?
I'm 23 and I need to play this again
Who says your too old for classics like this? 😊
glad to see im not the only one in that boat
Allie Jayne me too
hell yea
22 but close enough
Shit was so intense as a kid.
This is so dope
30 years old and I finally found this game. I played it in 2nd grade… takes me back
Ikr I was thinking about it and couldn't remember if it was real or not lol like oh ya I remember this! Lol
28 year old here. cant believe my eyes when I saw it again it was like time traveling
Has it really been that long? How the time flies
@@ChristGriphahahaha this was the best frigging game! Got me thru school! :) lol jk.
I was looking for this game for ages, used to love this game.
The music in this game is very memorable. I appreciate you allowing each section of the game to play out instead of speed running through it.
Agreed
Omg I finally found it, took me ages to remember! Man I loved this game so much, the nostalgia is really kicking in ;)
+GMD Azure Me too, I only remember the lion (and reading rabbit) and the fact it was in a mansion...finally found it! :D
+GMD Azure Same here, I can't believe I was finally able to find this game. I loved this game when I was in kindergarten.
So true
omg were old
@@Diamond1234 lol I'm out here typing 'computer learning game castle lion'
did the ending scare the shit out of anyone else as a kid? i don't remember why but it was really unsettling when i beat the game
matter of fact many parts of this game were very creepy to me
Seriously.. I dont know why but the nostalgia associated with this game gives me some really weird creepy vibes
I was just disappointed I wanted to see Sam rescue Reader.
The sound effect in Skillway when you pick a wrong answer scared me when I was a kid. Some other bizarre things about this game scared me too. I really thought I was the only one lol
Yes! It freaked me out!
No!
i never got far in this game...it always stressed me out and i was always paranoid that something scary would pop out in the hallways or the knight armor lmao
Same tbh
yes this game was weirdly scary!
Im glad im not the only one that felt that way Omg
There's actually a lot of good music in this game.
that's actually why I remembered about this game, the awesome music popped into my head
A good reason to come back to it!!!
Just like sonic heroes 2004
This game used to scare me when I was little... It still sort of gives me the creeps, especially the Lab Skillways...
You know you don't have a love when you spend two hours of your Saturday night watching a reader rabbit game.
FML.
The perfect girl doesnt exi-
Who needs love when youve got the corageous sam the lion there for you? More than i need imo
It's Saturday night again
This game was disturbing when I was a kid for some reason.
Oh my gosh yes
I got scared of the flying things when the castle seemed to be empty
This game was kind of scary for me when I was little lol. It felt lonely and the parts where Sam is running down the hallway gave me so much stress
@@justsupershiny So much anxiety 😐the music didn’t help either
You know what's really funny....
My brother and I were talking about this just now and I found it for him, forgetting I found this years ago. Then I saw my previous comment from 4 years ago on here hahahahaha!
this haunted me for years! thank you for putting this up so I know I remembered correctly😂😂 can't believe I found this because all I remember from this game was a lion running through an neverending hallway😅
I use to play this game when I was a kid! It's just like meeting a old friend!
My brother and I played it, too.
I would literally play this game every day, i love the 90s
I always loved the character of Riddle/Rhyme. She was such a unique character in my eyes, that I would actually look forward to doing the Skillway just for her.
20 years. 20 years I’ve been searching for this

The amount of dopamine this is giving me from the nostalgia holy moly
I remember going through this game thinking "when does it end?!?!"
the nostalgia is way too real for this game :)
Man this brings me back. So many memories.
Is it me, or does Sam the Lion's voice sound different in this game?
CEO100able yes as he was voiced by roger l Jackson, the voice of butch (the voice he was making in the game) mojo in the powerpuff girls, and ghosface from scream.
I hated the essay or summary parts. I always get lazy when I was little.

so did i
LaurySeas Otter Lol yeah ^^
Saaaaaame. My least favorite part.
I liked them because nobody else could read them I got shy easily
wow wow wow , nostalgia really hittin me, thank you for uploading!!
This takes me back
40:15
I KNEW ALL THE LYRICS TO THAT SONG AS A KID! I'd sing it around the house constantly and my mom would be like "wtf..."
thank goodness I'm not the onlt one
SAME
That song sounds so beautiful and sad at the same time
I was in 3rd grade when this game came out, and I would play it with my cousin, who was in 2nd grade. We used to tear up when this song would come on. There was something wrong with us lol, but it might be a testament to how good the music was in this game.

Man I played this game so many times as a kid. Such fond memories. Thanks for posting this, it took me a bit to remember what the game was called.
The nostalgia hammer just hit me right in the face, I can't believe I found this game again
I would have sworn on my mama this was a fever dream. I'm so glad I played this and the kindergarten game growing up.
That little court jester Riddles and Rhymes creeped me out so much as a kid lol
I remember the Reader Rabbit games.

CEO100able I loved cluefinders!!! Ahhhh brings me back
Finally he knows the learning company
OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS..... OH MY!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS GAME OMG THANK YOU
This videos gives me so many memories. I totally forgot about this game until I recently found the game laying around my parents house.
I'm from England and I had this game and it was in British English with different voices for the characters. I had quite a few of the learning company's programmes. Good Memories from my childhood. Thanks for uploading the game!
Do you think different UK Voices were needed Sarah? The original ones here don't seem like they'd turn off British fans
I'm not saying that they're needed in any sense of the word. When I played the game, it wasn't in American English was all I was saying.
holy shit i was looking for this!!! i had to call my mom to ask her what this game was called!! i was like "mom what was that game i used to play when i was really little with the lion and the fractions??" and she remembered!!! same with The ClueFinders!!!! damn i used to replay the ending all the time because i loved watching reader rabbit and sam go on the rocket, it drove me wild.
where did the time go
Wait, Charles Martinet played Sir Drayson and Monsterous Mirror?! Man this man more of my childhood than i thought
Fun fact: the dragon is voiced by Mario himself; Charles Martinet :D
+jetlifejd So is Monstrous Mirror!
So Mario voice acted to dragons in his lifetime. A wacky dragon and a powerful Dragon who betrayed his brother
40:15 MY FAVORITE SONG
Randomly remembered this from my childhood. Sitting down at the kicthen bench with my chunky ass laptop trying this shit to load up. The nostalgia is real. 😭😩
Sir Drayson Dragon 1:15:41
Sam the Lion Singing 40:17
Same here! I loved Sir Drayson Dragon's song!
I’m so amazed that not only is Drayson voiced by Mario voice actor Charles Martinet, but I’m amazed Martinet can also sing, as he performed the whole dragon song himself.
I loved this game when I was about 6 and watching it now is honestly surreal.
Oh my god, that rabbit(?) with the split personality. Memories.
Dude this game was an absolute trip. It somehow was one of the best games I have ever played as a kid
1:19:07 Btw was that Bowser’s Head mounted on the wall?! 😳
I liked this game, until about halfway through tower 2. At that point, despair set in for my little 2nd grade heart, and I began...HATING this game. Really, truly hating it with a burning fire inside me that filled me with rage at the very notion of ever playing it. But I knew that I had started it, I had made it halfway through the game, and I would FINISH IT.
And that's the story of how that twisted little second-grader turned into an extremely twisted adult that I am now.
Same here, but I could never beat it. The castle just scared me to death!
@conzuh... dude same lol
Damn from putting on a play to saving your “kidnapped” friend. 2nd grade was rough, man. Bring me back to 1st!
The song at 1:15:34 has gotten randomly stuck in my head for the last 18 years. Oh man the nostalgia.
I lowkey remember having nightmares about being trapped in the castle as a kid
The nostalgia is soooo real right now wow.
thank you so much for uploading this….the sounds throw me back
The moment the perfect run ended: 1:00:39 lol
I KNEW THIS MEMORY WAS LOCKED AWAY SOMEWHERE IN MY BRAIN. i literally searched "lion learning game pc" and found this. Amazing!
this game was freaking legit.
Brings back memories
Oh man, this brings back memories... though for some reason this game scared me when I was little, lol.
Edit: Also a big fan of the southern belle knight, who I completely forgot about til now. :P
When I was young, this game was the scariest thing Ive seen. Idk why I was scared of this game
THIS BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES! EVEN THOUGH IM 20 AND IN COLLEGE I REALLY WANT TO PLAY THESE GAMES!
Gosh, so much nostalgia! This was mine and my sister's favorite game. We used to reenact it all the time with toys. XD
This was my fave reader rabbit game ever
Mine too man!
This game messed me up as a kid. I had terrible nightmares. It's reassuring to find this again almost 20 years later, see all the comments, and know that I wasn't the only one.

Holy sht I finally found it. I've been looking for this for 5 years.
I’m so glad you’re doing these videos gosh this is a nostalgia trip
I played this when I was 8, im 30 now and have FINALLY found this game! Ive had snippets of it in my memory for years!!
oh my god I'm 21 this was my childhood I couldn't find this anywhere
12:09 I can't find this theme on the soundtrack where's it at? Lol
That's actually why I stuck around for that piece, the other guy who uploaded this game's music forgot about that one. I did the same for the Read and Reflect Hallway.
Mr. Eight-Three-One he needs to upload that
Based of Reader Rabbit's 2nd Grade by Steven Spielberg
20 years later I find it THANK YOU!!!!!!
After 21 years i still remember that two-headed jester
Omg all these sounds! The nostalgia!!!
i had completely forgotten about this series of games. along with scamp and one other game i still cant remember these were the best memories of my childhood.
3:50 Mario's laugh! Charles Martinet voices Monstrous Mirror and the dragon.
54:29 that's the sort of stuff I would write when my teacher (2nd or 3rd grade) wanted me to put multi-sentence answers when I could sum everything up in one sentence.
Roger Jackson who voiced Sam The Lion also voiced Mojo Jojo
Monstrous Mirror is still my spirit-thing.
Now this is what I call a trip down memory lane.
8:04
That sound
is it a classic sound effect?
or is it a sound that the creators of this game created themselves?
After years, I get to watch this again.
I get Harry Potter & ‘Labyrinth’ vibes from this. I missed this game so much from growing up .
I missed my whole childhood when I played this and I need to play that again
I imagine if this was a Mario crossover, because the Magic Mirror's voice is ACTUALLY Mario!
I'm 31 I played this in 2nd grade crazy how I remember this it just popped into my head years later great game great memories
I remember this game. It was so fun
that dragon was literally my first jumpscare, mainly for how ugly he looks
Oh my gosh, I remember this game so clearly. I've thought about it a lot, but never thought to look it up. The music is very nostalgic, and the game was kind of creepy but also addicting to play lol. Thanks for sharing!
So much nostalgia. Thank you for this!
42:38 Looks like Mario finally defeated Bowser for good. It explains how he got this castle.
I hated this one at first cause I wasn't reader rabbit but by the end of the game I fucking loved it.
I really like the song that plays at the top of tower 2! Can you make a short video showing the part with that song?
Wait...this game ALSO had a UK dub? Wow, I never knew that.
Really, preference can be oftentimes based on which version you played first, unless the difference is really jarring. Nostalgia makes that preference even stronger. I've never heard the UK dub but to be honest I never knew Reader Rabbit games for having spectacular voice acting by any stretch, so maybe this version does sound dumb. I dunno, I'd have to check the UK dub myself. Did it have a different title?
I remember playing this when I was 4 or 5 at my babysitter's house. I'm almost 30. 😂. So much nostalgia here.
I remember getting this game with my mum very soon after it came out. Played it soo much, Really wanna play it again haha
Omg! I played this as a kid and loved it! I didn't even remember it till I heard the music and now it's taking my mind back!
"Allright students, go ahead and close the game and log off. Class is almost over."
This is one game i remember playing so much of. It was tough but i loved it
This takes me back so much
Ahh the nostalgia feels :) Brings back a lot of memories.
i remember reader rabbit second grade cd-rom 💿
I really loved playing this game when I was much younger. This really brings back happy memories. The music is out of this world.
