*single tear* This was the most played game during my computer class in mid 2000. Its just amazing to see it again after all this time. I couldnt remember the name of this game!
My entire time during elementary school, I used to use the administrators’ master password to get into the younger kids classes so I could continue playing this game when I was bored. It was so awesome.
too bad that the "secure" Facebook data was happily handed by the users themselves, clickng "Accept...accept..accept" without even reading about the terms of use of a stupid quiz app :)
LGR Edutainment Month is like art imitating art. There are three generations of geeks in my family that watch this channel. My son is getting LGR Patreon for his Birthday. Great job as always Clint!
I remember I had played this a few times way back in my elementary school's computer lab. I don't think the computers would let you save anything so I had to start over each time and I never got very far, but I remember enjoying it enough to ask the school if I could have a copy of the game. I never did get one so seeing this again is a major blast from the past.
I know it's Edutainment Month now but in June, would you do a Jurassic Park game for Jurassic Parks 25th anniversary? I would suggest reviewing Dino Defender or Jurassic Park on DOS, and playing through Jurassic Park Trespasser.
I would agree if Jurassic Park for DOS wasn't a dumpster fire of a title! Then again, LGR _does_ do excellent reviews on many DOS 'dumpster fire' class games... I am ok with this.
i remember playing this as a kid! Back then, this game was one of the highlights of PC gaming for me. Thank you for showing it! Makes my day that much better!
Thanks for covering this! It was always a beautiful day when we got to play this game back in Middle School. I forgot which class it was for, but the game was incredible for an edutainment game back in 2001.
"Overcome Chaos!" You don't overcome chaos, the strength of the ruinous powers is infinite. You fight, die, and give your blood to the skull throne. The plague of Nurgle is without cure Change shall come The ectasy of Slaanesh can never be quelled. I...I'm sorry, I've been playing Vermintide II lately.
this was one of if not the most popular game ever in elementary school. i always felt really lucky whenever i got a chance to play it cause everybody wanted to play this. ahhhh so many memories.
I'm so happy you covered this! I remember in computer class the last twenty minutes would be free time and myself and classmates would just open this for that sick funky beat lol
My gosh I love Museum Madness so much. It's one of those games I go back to even as an adult every so often. I think I even recorded a playthrough of it on my channel back when I did that sort of thing.
Clint, I rarely comment on videos but this one made my day! I have been hoping you would show off Museum Madness. I remember playing so much of this game back in early grade school. Thanks a lot man.
I love this game - I remember beating the game in 5th Grade ....we were able to use a floppy disc to save our progress and I remember finishing the game and then actually receiving an award during our end of the year ceremony for being the only person in the school to finish it.
"I don't know man, there is a part of my brain that always explodes with excitement when presented with 256- color graphics and FM synth music". Man that is why I love your channel...should consider it as a motto for it!
I remember this! The Wright flyer wing was the only part I got to play in the school library. You had to eyeball it and even knowing what a wing should look like did no good. We were easily impressed then.
I remember picking this up at my local thrift store back in junior high (2001 ish). I think I installed it briefly on my 40 mb tandy machine before I picked up my 486 with a whopping 2 or 3 hundred mb hard drive. Once I didn't have to constantly delete and install games, I remember replaying this often. Good times.
THAT'S IT! THAT'S THE GAME I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL THESE YEARS! I couldn't remember anything but the robot saying "I/O ERROR". LGR pulling through again! Thanks a ton, man!
There was a hospital edutainment game that came with our late 90's Packard Bell. I have distinct memories of when I was like 6 walking around an empty hospital then zapping blood cells inside a body. Anyone knows what edutainment game I'm thinking of?
This reminded me of Microcosm an FMV based rail shooter where you enter a guy's body with a microscopic submarine. My memory only goes as far as it existing since it never worked on my computer.
Oh man, I had completely forgotten that game! I also used to play it all the time as a kid, I remember how frustrating it was to find all the viruses (although I vaguely remember them looking like aliens?) in the brain and zapping them within the time limit and without damaging any braincells
Learning today that you can skip that dreadful hallway maze at 31 years old would make 6-year-old me cry in agony...... 25 years of being passively haunted by that memory
probably because baby names are popular for a while then drop off. Most of the adult Steve's would have been children back then, but Steve became less popular to name a kid so now they are all adults.
I had this game as a kid. I was actually thinking just other night that I wanted to see LGR review this game, but I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called. Personally, I always thought it was fun, but I never had any clue what I was doing or supposed to do, but hey, it's a good example of 90s nostalgia.
I don't know how many people remember How Things Work in Busytown but you know what, I remember that. Also either there's some edutainment game based on it I never knew of or something went wrong with organization seeing something Initial D on that shelf. This might also be the only drivers ed edutainment that features drifting.
have you considered to review the Knowledge Adventure edutainment games? 3D Dinosaur Adventure/Kids' Zoo, Undersea Adventure, 3D Body Adventure, Space Adventure/SPEED? I grew up with those edutainment games on a 1993 or 1994 Packard Bell computer with Windows 3.1 when i was a little boy, and i'd LOVE to see you cover them. I still think that 3D Body Adventure is probably the creepiest of them all, because of the graphics displayed when it covers the reproductive system, and even the narrator's voice quality is startling in those sections compared to the others in the reference library.
Holy shit i'm looking at a LGR video that is not 10 yrs old ! Man, your channel started awesome and keep on being awesome to this day. I wish i had discovered back then and not only 2 weeks ago.
Love how they have the box art with an older kid and the kid in the game is much younger. And how they just used the same face in different situations like nobody would notice. =P
I really like this graphic style. I like it very much. Many adventure games, especially in the 90s, had this style. It reminds me a lot of my childhood.
Clint! Great video once again, thanks for the upload! I have two questions for you about edutainment titles I played as a kid (and have extremely vague memories of), was hoping you might be able to enlighten me. First game had time travel between the present and victorian times, and also had a little bit of object hunting. The second is even more vague: there was math, a hotel, and bowling. I think. Thanks man!
I remember playing this in middle school. The satellite level being a horrible burden. It took us 4 months, but our class had successfully written a guide on how to beat it.
I remember loving this game as a kid, and really never getting very far. I couldn't remember any sort of plot, or actual goals, but I really enjoyed what I played.
I played this a lot back in the day. The only puzzle I was not able to finish was the navigate-an-asteroid-field puzzle. Apparently it is solvable since you got the ending. I always wondered about it.
i remember my elementary school having a few educational games, include school house of rock, cluefinders, one about anatomy, and one about time travel. I barely ever got to play them though, it seemed some students got my chances to play it than most.
I actually love this game unironically, especially the soundtrack. it can be hit or miss, but the more high-tech areas(outside of the Industrial Revolution exhibit) have some real bangers. Also, none of the puzzles are all that esoteric that I can recall. A lot of them are very heavily telegraphed if you actually talk to the characters in the exhibit.
I can't believe you didn't mention that horrible Food Web sliding puzzle. That one puzzle stopped me from beating this game in middle school, and I didn't solve it till I was in college and had all the free time I needed.
I don't know why but this is giving me flashbacks to playing Team Extreme: Operation Weather Disaster and Invention Studio on Windows 3.1 as a kid. Do you have either of those in your collection? I remember enjoying them quite bit and even having to look stuff up to solve the puzzles in Weather Disaster, though fortunately I think it averted the more absurd adventure game-logic you're talking about in Museum Madness!
I would love to see you play Eagle Eye Mysteries. It was hokey, had multiple sequels, taught history and deductive reasoning as a simplistic point and click detective game series.
YES!!! I have been hoping you would look at this one! Aside from loving the game itself as a kid, I would also use to help convince my friends parents to get them a pc so we could then play online games together!
I am a person named "Mick" in real life and hearing LGR say my name over and over again really made my day :) (Not alot of people or Characters have that specific name)
This is one of my first PC games because my parents only bought edutainment type games in the beginning. I didn’t know any better until I would go to friends houses and they had some thing like Warcraft or doom.
