Old 90s Educational Game for PC?




John M


All I can remember was there was a short kid, maybe had a hat on, has some sort of electrical gun or something, and seemed to be stuck in a science lab at night. You had to solve riddles. That's about all I can remember! Thanks....


Answer
had a hat on? probably one of the Super Solvers games
either Midnight Rescue
or Gizmos&Gadgets

What are some good computer games for kids that involve math and logic?

My older kid played "Zoombinis: Logical Journey" (but the program won't run in Windows 8). Anything similar would be great for my 7 year old.


Answer
I used to play a lot of games by The Learning Company and Humongous Entertainment.

The learning company had many great educational games like:
*ClueFinders (A series which uses a lot of maths and logic skills)
*Gizmos and Gadgets (Get parts to build vehicles to race against the evil villain)
*Outnumbered (same series as Gizmos and Gadgets)
*Treasure series (cove, galaxy, mountain, math storm)

Humongous Entertainment had a lot of problem solving games that were really fun and educational at the same time. Click and point basically.
*Putt Putt
*Pajama Sam
*Spy Fox
*Freddi Fish

I am not too sure if these games work on the newer computers but you can definitely get the Humongous Entertainment games to work using SCUMMVM (an emulator that allows a lot of old games to be played_
