Ah....Oregon Trail on the Apple II. Remember when you went out hunting and shot every buffalo, deer, bear, and squirrel that dared to appear on your screen, obtaining some 15,000 pounds of meat, knowing full well you could only bring back like 100? I always found that amusing.

I actually still have all of those games on my ancient Mac. But I don't remember if it was Number munchers or Super Muncher I had. And I really am not in the mood for re-assembling my Mac tonight. Maybe in 2 weeks when I am not busy catching up on school work in the like 2 days I have before Long Island.

Haha, back in school, those were the things to have!
I was in the 'gifted and talented' program in my elementary school, so they would pluck us out from class and let us play Oregon Trail for a couple hours a day. We had a ton of odd old computer remnants everywhere, and we just got to mess around.
My eyes would hurt so bad from the greenscreens...

You ask elementary school kids nowadays about greenscreens and Oregon Trail, and they're like, "You mean you DIDN'T have DSL back then?" ...sigh...

I'm glad you mentioned atari, amanda.
Pitfall was the best game ever, not to mention how cheap the rest of the games were. We probable had 40 games my grandpa had gotten from Sears (*Its closed now).

I see no one has mention the Care Bears.

With the greenscreens, does anyone else remember a racing game where you moved by solving math equations. If you finish 100 questions you finished the race. That was great.

Oh and there was a computer quiz we took in middle school that was always great. Everytime you got a correct answer it would say neato burrito, or other things.

I believe the name of that game is Math Trax Racer. Yeah I have played most of these old school educational games back in elementary school. Though my favorite was one where you answer simple math problems like multiplication, and division and for each question you answer correctly would give you ammunition (bullets, missiles, bombs) and fuel for a jet. You would have to find and blow up a flag hidden somewhere in the level, and then land safely. There were helicopters, turrets, and battleships that would fire at your jet (one hit and you are gone). I got up to level 4 at the time, but was only given an hour each week to play the game. I cannot remember the name right now.

Probably not as good as this game: click here

Zoom used to be a great show. Then they redid it, and it's not nearly the same as it used to be.

How many people can say that they have the original 1988 Nintendo? Now how many people can say that that is the only gaming system they have ever had? That's right. that is all there is in my house. No N64 .. No Sega .. No Game Boys .. No PS2s ... AND it is still in working order as I was playing it just this past weekend .. Gotta love that Super Mario and Double Dragon .. games that are both as old as me ....
