Almost 20 years without knowing the name of Treasure Mathstorm. I didn't know english at the time and all I remember was the guy with the pickaxe and the snow
same! i kept remembering it and had NO idea what it was called
Omg me too!!! Exactly same story, so glad I finally found it! For some reason it was popular in brazilian schools lol
I need a full folder of all of these now!!!!!
ty for bringing memories back too
I love how Reader rabbit is dancing in sync at 1:36-1:39
aa
Your video helped me FINALLY find a game I've been looking for since grade 6 and I am 24 now. I could never remember the name. Thank you so so much!
My hunt for name of The Incredible Machine is finally over! Thank you!!
Congrats! I’ve been on the hunt for over 17 years and I still haven’t found the game I am looking for 🙀 one day I hope to be in your shoes
Thank you! After three videos I finally found it. Couldn't remember the name of Gizmos and Gadgets and it was hard to try and google it from what little I remembered lol.
There was this game I played when I was in kindergarten (2007) but I can’t remember the name of it. It had monsters, I think painting and that’s basically all I can remember of it. It was a computer learning game. You’d wear headphones and the monsters would make noise and talk. It’s so weird, but if anyone remembers something like that, I feel like I’m going crazy trying to remember.
I vaguely remember that too
Im looking for that too😭
Did they have horn for a mouth??
That sounds like the one I've been trying to find.
I remember a game with the main character being a little girl in pajamas In house that had a bright color wall paper and you talk to the monsters that say funny weird phrases and you try to solve the puzzles and riddles to get a key to expand the game more I been looking for so long I hope It's the same game you're talking about, I miss the game so much I might end up recreating it because it's not well known enough to be found but I played the game so much and remember so much details I also thought it was a dream because I had dreams about as a kid when I went to bed it was back 10 years ago.
Is there a part two? I'm trying to find two games I remember back in the early 2000's. One was like a grocery store at the cash out (math) and another was a keyboard practice where there were numbers that were scrolling and you had to type the right letters or numbers.
Sounds like the Jump Start preschool game maybe?
Mavis Beacon maybe
Im with the Mavis Beacon crowd. Pretty sure that was the level to get familiar and speedy with the number pad.
@@buildthis2324 it's been a while since I posted this comment ,haha. Yeah Mavis beacon was a part of my childhood, now I type 110 wpm on average, and it had nothing to do with it lol.
Millies Math House
One game I remember playing in preschool was a little man who climbs ladders to get to the picked numbers and then play clips with each number 1 to 10. The clips had 1 woodpecker, 2 teddy bears, 3 thieves, 4 fish, 5 fireworks, 6 seals, 7 seeds, 8 aeroplanes, 9 knitting nurses and 10 tumbling tumblers. I remember what the start screen looked like, which had numbers all over and I wish I knew what educational game was called.
Thanks so much! I've almost forgotten some of these games! Ugh, but I still can't find one with some really cool robots that gave me puzzles related to music and prisms and ugghh, one of these days I'll find it!
Agree or disagree?:
0:54 - SimEarth: I never understood this game and I didn't know anyone who did. (Did you know what to do?)
2:30 Putt-Putt looks like he's on drugs, with that big eyes of his.
5:15: Kahoot! is okay I guess, but I still feel modern educational games lack the personality and content of the older edutainment titles.
SimEarth was the shit! It was really more of a toy than a game. You would make certain things happen and they would have long term consequences. But once you had a biome developing, you could introduce simple life forms that would evolve over time. I don't think there were any winning conditions, but it was pretty fun if you were a nerd.
There was this point and click educational dos game I played around 1995 as a kid in my daycare music school, the only thing I remember is that it featured a room in a house with furniture, a window, books and stuff you could interact with and advance to different rooms or activities I think.They also had other games installed like Treasure Mountain which I fortunately already found
I'm trying to recall a game I played in elementary school, or rather a series of games featuring the same kangaroo mascot on the landing screen before you picked a game, one of the subjects was geometry and had a game where you used varying shapes to fill in the outline before the person or COM on the right (it supported 2 players) and my details are vague but I remember some of the colors of the shapes, yellow hexagons, green up/down triangles and red trapezoids. It's driving me nuts that I can't remember everything but I was hoping I'd find it.
For the games on the list, I remember I played the following: The Oregon Trail Deluxe, Math Blaster Episode 1 In Search of Spot, Microsoft Encarta MindMaze, Storybook Weaver Deluxe, SimTower, and Logical Journey of the Zoombinis.
There is a game that has been the bane of my sanity trying to remember.
It’s an old DOS game (late 80s I believe) where you do math problems in a short time, and in doing so, add fuel and weapons to a jet/bomber type plane, then take off trying to blow stuff up.
Looking for an old educational PC game but all I remember is a train, having to collect 26 animals after completing activities for each letter you would get animal for that letter and at the end you would go to the circus. I also remember there being a go on and stop button like SATs after each activity and maybe a refrigerator with letter magnets and a story about Andy and an alligator and maybe a song about down by the bay. Not sure if any of this was actually in the game or maybe just remembering wrong but worth a shot to ask here.
All I remember about my game is that it was either late 90s-00s and it involved aliens teaching you how things rhymes together and how to read things. One of the aliens had a long nose like doodle jump, but ik he talked through that ‘nose’ and I think he had another aliens that was bigger and pink helping him teach. It’s so vague but I KNOW it existed
Just about lost it when "Number Crunchers" came on. Oh the nostalgia.
There was also a game called Lemmings (I used to call it Lemons lol) I played all the time in 2nd grade. Number Munchers, Kahoot, and Storybook Weaver were the ones we played. There was also a game where you were like a toymaker or owned a store and had to choose which toys to manufacture and get a profit from, anyone know the name of that???
I have been trying to find and remember Hollywood for YEARS. Omg.
Grazie mille di aver messo questo video ed avermi fatto ricordare di word rescue e math rescue pensavo di essermelo sognato visto che me lo ricordavo solo 😂😂👍👍
There was one game I remember the most, it was called the first r, it was a game that taught you basic English and spelling, it was fun, and the same company that made that game also made a math game, I forgot the company's name though....
does anyone remember a game that had like differnet things you can do, and it was like you could draw, read about simple rhymes like "the fat cat sat on the mat" and stuff? oh oh! and you also had a account! it was super fun and its all i would play at school! (no its not starfall)
Anyone remember an old game on middle school PCs where you had to choose a job and activities based on your salary ( I think it had something to do with time and money management) and when you would hit certain milestones throughout your life (like having a baby) it would be commemorated in a scrap book that you could flip through? I think I remember it being called something super generic like “my life diary” or “my life” or “life portfolio” or something along those lines. I’ve been looking for this game for a solid 6 years and have had zero luck. Any guesses or games you remember playing in middle school are much appreciated! Thanks!
I am looking for his game currently. If you find it please share!! I’ll let you know what I find!!!
I have vague memories of a game with animation very similar to Treasure Math Storm but it's set in a TV station I think. And there are walking TVs that you had to freeze with a remote and solve a problem to eliminate that enemy.
SuperSolvers outnumbered
I remember some game its driving me insane.... its a blue guy i think and it mozart music in the background ( something like that )
oh the sim games, used to play them for hours without actually understanding what to do
Since you know all of THESE games, perhaps you know 1 more which I can't find anywhere but definitely played in school. It's probably a CGA game I think, definitely a castle/dungeon sort of game, you start by choosing either a wizard or a knight as your character and either a sword or a wand as your weapon. Then you are placed on a black screen (the dungeon) which is a 2D overhead/ceiling view and have to randomly move the mouse/trackball around as though you're stumbling in the dark until a piece of the maze is revealed. You keep randomly trying to move and uncover more maze until you stumble upon a battle, which switches you over to a picture of a dragon or troll or some sort of adversary who poses a (math??) puzzle question to you. If you answer correctly your character will destroy the enemy with his weapon and I think earn some gold or something. Then you go back to the map screen and try to reveal more map. That's all I remember about the game but for the life of me I can't find it because I don't know its name. Please help!
please tell me you found it
@@Zuko1738 Unfortunately no, every time I bring it up, nobody knows what the hell the game is called. Guessing by the 3 thumbs up and your post, I'm not experiencing a concussion, so the game must exist. I just wish I knew its name so I could google it or even get that AI chat bot to tell me what it is lol. Please post here if you now its name. It was a fun game.
For 30 years I had been trying to find the name of this game that reminded me of a king Arthur adventure. It was Mixed up Mother Goose. I can die happy now.
I miss this games 20 years ago :(
Ive been looking for word rescue for the fucking longest thanks for this
does anyone remember a game where there’s this house and inside the house there are different mini games? i remember one with stained glass or like. patterns? and another with musical fractions. like there’s salsa and stuff. i’ve been looking forever and still can’t figure it out. i’m pretty sure there’s a math bowling mini game too
Yes I've been trying to remember what this game is called all night and it's driving me insane. I distinctly remember a scene where in the bathroom you could play a mini game to make the fogged up mirror have different faces, I believe it was a spelling mini game. There were different mini games around the house, I sort of remember some from the kitchen. It was installed on the computers at my elementary school back in around 2006.
@@ThErAnDoMuSiCvIdS i'm looking for the same game!
This sounds similar to one I’m trying to track down, too! I remember it being on school computers in early elementary school (like 1999-2002), but I can’t remember many other details from it!
f
Did it have the scientist who said "I've lost my marbles!" And there were like purple butterflies too in one of the rooms maybe
There was a game where it was sorta cartoony, I just remember this barrel with a clown in it though, but you could count and stuff and do little games.
Okay, this is not an educational game that I remember but I am losing my mind not being able to remember. If anybody remembers a game about a little floating orb that went through obstacles it was played a lot in school. We controlled the orb with the up and down keys or side to side. A lot of people remember playing it in school but none of us can remember the name. It’s not a lot of description that is all I remember and how much fun I had going through these obstacles.
This is a long shot but does anyone remember an old game about viruses and germs?? You were there size and I remember it being creepy as a kid.
I still can't find the game with frogs in a swamp that when you got all the answers correctly an entire frog bluegrass band played
Was it a sound memory game?
Anyone remember the name of this computer learning game? I believe it was a frog or mouse and the only part that I can recall is jumping on words on a cloud and if you got them wrong you would fall and start over. You could t get to the next level until you pass everything. This was my favorite game back in the early 2000s.
Does anyone remember this game? It had rudimentary 3d graphics(in first-person)where you solve geometry puzzles in space, in rover on a moon?
Thank you
Anyone know of two games that I think were called "Typing Twister" or "Math Twister" ? Gameplay involved a rectangular shaped board on the left side of the screen, maybe like 8X20, and there was a tornado that would wreck pieces on it that would make them unplayable or something. I think the objective was to contain the tornado in pieces that you control or something like that idk. It had to have been an early CD-Rom game for either Windows 95 or Windows 98, because I remember playing it as a kid on windows 98, but the disc wasn't compatible with XP when we upgraded to that. It seemed pretty difficult for a kid's educational game when I played it, so I think the intended age of a kid playing it would've been around 8 to 10 (3rd to 5th grade).
does anyone remember this one? it was this game about maths and it was made in pixel style, were you have to beat monsters by resolving a simple addition or subtraction.
Operation Neptune ? You were a submarine ?
Omg. Storybook weaver was awesome except when it would glitch and make your story into a nightmare
Nostalgia!
This is a long shot but if anyone can help me, you will help solve a massive mystery
My sister and I used to play this game on the computer and you basically played as this superhero that has a scientist sidekick (who is female). There was one level where you went into the bad guys mansion and your sidekick shrunk, so she gave you clues as to where she might be and the only clue I remember her saying was she's allergic to it. There was also a part with some type of cave where you collected rocks and the next time you tried going there it was blocked off. I also remember the guy has yellow to his costume but that's about it.
Mixed-up mother goose [1987] is also a good one
There was a computer game I played at school in the early '90s where you used a series of pulleys and other Rube Goldberg-like contractions to evade monsters. Any idea what it was called?
school zone math 1-2? i have a cd of it, there's a point where you count beans to learn math and monsters/aliens come by on a converter belt and eat them
Maybe ThinkQuick? I loved that game - lots of evading monsters to release the dragon at the end
There was this one game about animals and it ended with you all sitting around a campfire but I've forgotten it.
Did it have anything to do with a barn and connect the dots?
@@colorsplash9964 It's all good I found it eventually, it was Reader Rabbit Kindergarten lol.
There is this pc game I’m desperate to find where you basically had a journal/diary and there was this man dressed like a bee with these crazy glasses that would sometimes read what you wrote in the diary or perform dances on a tv screen.
I remember this game of a ghost who look like Casper. Where you had to spell and get key to move to other rooms and stuff, was funny but can't remember the name. Game year was around 2000s to 2005
Does anyone remember a game with like a treehouse (I think) and sawmill and painting? I remember you cut logs to make a... stage?
I didn't see it on here but what is the name of the game where you play as a knight in a side scrolling platform, answering questions about math and other subjects?
Does anyone else know of a teddy bears picnic type of game? I played it in primary school around 1997/1998 - you clicked on things like sandwiches and lemonade. It was a really cutesy game I played when I was a kid that I’ve always looked for but never been able to find.
i’ve been looking for this game forever that i used to play on our school computers. i think it was an educational game, but you were this little wizard boy that looked kinda sleepy and you walked around this dark castle and there were monsters i think. it was all kinda creepy but in a cool way. if yk what i’m talking about pls help out i want to find it again
Scooter's Magic Castle?
@@Khalamithy thank you for reaching out, i forgot about this comment. i found it, actually, and it was called wizards and pigs on gamegoo, which has sadly been taken down. thank you so much though!
Anyone remember one where you had to type and there was a time machine with pictures of famous people floating through space
I played this game where you jump on a box with a question mark then a word will come up then you need to find another box with a photo of that word. I just can't remember the title.
I'm looking for a game I know As AZ Circus. Probably not the name but it or something similar is mentioned at the start up. On the main menu clicking of something takes you to different games. The loading screen fades by dotting the screen with a child humming. Please help.
Circus A to Z.
I think we are both thinking of the same game but not 100% sure. Looking for an old educational PC game but all I remember is a train, having to collect 26 animals after completing activities for each letter you would get animal for that letter and at the end you would go to the circus. I also remember there being a go on and stop button like SATs after each activity and maybe a refrigerator with letter magnets and a story about Andy and an alligator and maybe a song about down by the bay. Not sure if any of this was actually in the game or maybe just remembering wrong but worth a shot to ask here.
This is one im eager to find: I can't remember if it was a game or a simulator, but you could use 3d spheres and shoot them all around, change their colors, and different music would play in the background.
Anybody have any idea?
Anyone remember this game its a math game and after u complete some math problems you get to guess a number if i remember correctly and an airplane comes and airdrops a box on an island
Who remembers a single screen bush/grass area game where there was a little ant and each keyboard letter press made something different happen!? His friend brings him out a birthday cake, and another key made him go fish in his little boat!? If I had to guess it looked like it must have been from late 80's early 90's? IVE BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS NO ONE KNOWS!!!
does anyone remember a game where you could take care of a pet and wash them. i know that’s a broad explanation but that’s all i can remember also you are like in a forestry area. it was also 3D i believe. i had it on mac around the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Does anyone remember a game called something like “piggys island” or something similar, it was on the school computers in 1st grade and was around till like 2015. Look very almost pixelated yet 3d maybe. Had a coloring by section part, whenever you moved from activity to activity the pig would fly there using a pair of wings on its back. Been looking for it for forever and hoping the internet can help me out.
I came here looking for this game. Any chance you remember one of the sections being a factory sorting thing almost??
Back... i found it! "Piggy in Numberland"
I could never figure out how to connect the power in SimCity2000!
Does anyone remember a game called like Skidoodle or something along those lines? I can't remember exactly what we did on it but I remember playing it and so does my friend but we can't find any information about it online.
Are you thinking of a game called ‘snow line’? It’s a game where you help Santa make his way through the course using a magic snow pen or something, by drawing a line.
@@nikitatoohill9640 No it wasn't a Christmas theme. It was like educational almost. We only played it at school.
Guys! I'm trying to remember a DOS game... whenever you typed a key, it would show an image of an object which name started with the letter you typed...
In the age of white and big case computers, there was a math game. In this game, numbers were written on ghosts and they were in the castle. I could not find the name of this game. I am about to go crazy
probably isn't it but maybe it's numbershark? ua-cam.com/video/jg77ZG8MWXw/v-deo.html
We used Macintosh at school.
I'm from Europe, almost exclusively DOS/Windows computers at schools here :S
Does anyone remember the name of that computer game where you get people and a ship and travel to America and you can select people or groups to fish and clear trees build houses and more ships and you can send for supplies from England and send goods like tobacco. Does anyone remember that game or the name? It was on most school computers
Oregon Trail?
@@applemctom It's not Oregan Trail. I have an entire discord group dedicated to finding this game. I don't think we ever will lmfao.
Hey my guy, this sounds an awful lot like Pilgrim's Quest.
I remember a game where a giant monster would suck up a city block by block unless you stopped him... I cannot find it anywhere, please help me!
Mind Maze was the best..and Zoombinies.
there was this game where we used like math and grammar to fight monsters, Idk the name.
I think we’re looking for the same thing, did it have this weird like black an red horror part with math?
@@pspctv.1921 I found it but forgot the name again lmao. Its this game where you use maths and grammar to beat plants. Upon further investigation that was the 11th grade version I played I think. There were these quiz solvers and they were basically playing catch with a ball or something and the ball went into the neighbour's backyard and they fell into the ground where they had to stop plants from taking over the world lmao.
@@TRiniLukey that sounds kinda familiar but I’m not sure if we’re thinking of the same thing now.
@@TRiniLukey was the icon like a blue sheep or something along those lines an in it it was full of learning type mini games
@@pspctv.1921 its The Clue Finders
Anyone remember 7-UP had their own game, as well as Looney Toons on SNES?
Y’all remember Polar Bowler?
Does anyone remember a game of a teddy bear, the game starts at the room of the bear and from there you can move wherever you want, you could go to the bathroom, down the stairs.
Maybe Fatty Bears Birthday Surprise?
There was a nursery rhyme game and a pirate game i cant remember the names of..i think the pirate game was monkey island but i cant remember,would have been the middle to late 90s...
The music is so good, what game it came from
There was a old pc game with a Dog character named Star-Dog or Dogstar, I can't remember the name. I think it was a basset hound in a white robe.
Rescue Rover?
What about Quizizz?
Ty museum madness ... Sht could nt remember the name..for years
Omg I used to play putt Putt joins the parade.... 😮
I plated NONE of these games in school. There was Pirate Gold (not Pirates Gold) and something about building a Norman castle and that was pretty much it.
No Tetris?
@@applemctom Nope. There were a couple of other old games for the school computers but they were rarely played.
Oh, thinking about it I brought Lemmings in and played in on the old computers in secondary school. Do games brought in from home count?

Anyone remember an old game on middle school PCs where you had to choose a job and activities based on your salary ( I think it had something to do with time and money management) and when you would hit certain milestones throughout your life (like having a baby) it would be commemorated in a scrap book that you could flip through? I think I remember it being called something super generic like “my life diary” or “my life” or “life portfolio” or something along those lines. I’ve been looking for this game for a solid 6 years and have had zero luck. Any guesses or games you remember playing in middle school are much appreciated! Thanks!
I don't know, some suggestions:
- Money Town
- Jones in the Fast Lane
