Best Elementary School Computer Game

[monosylab1k]

That Osama-SuperSize Me Guy thread reminded me of Carmen Sandiego. I'm guessing this is more for anybody who was in elementary school in the 80's/90's. We all played them. The educational computer game. The third grade kicked ass because of these games. Which one was the best?

None of y'all played Gorillas? You'd have to determine what angle and what speed you threw your exploding bananas at the other gorilla based on wind speed and direction.

Exactly what elementary school did you attend?Columbine Elementary.

That game was awesome. The bird was the hardest fight in the game. I wish I could find this old game I played called Ninja, and another called Shogun.

[Trainwreck2100]

the tv show was good



The game show on PBS, or the cartoon show?

[resistanze]

Oregon Trail.

I thought Oregon Trail had a little better graphics than that /\/\/\/\/\

[resistanze]

When I was in elementary school, our ghetto computers had that version. It wasn't until like 1995 I bought some pimped out updated version from some clearance warehouse for $2.50. Good times.

Has anyone played this game (Ninja)? I can't find a working rom for it anywhere.

It looks like a ripoff of Karate Champ.

[nkdlunch]

even the Bull????

no way, any game that you gotta knock out a bull with a punch is legendary

I actually did not know you could knock him out, I kept trying to jump over it

Wow, I didn't even see they copied the bull too (Karate Champ came out in '84, the other one in '85).

Check about 7:30 into the video to see the guy take out the bull with a punch.

This thread brings back good memories.

FYI - You can play Oregon Trail online! http://www.virtualapple.org/oregontraildisk.html

Oregon Trail was great. Where in the World is Carmen San Diego also. The TV show ruled, and it was great playing the computer game and having to have the world book in front of you in order to solve different clues. As far as DOS games, Gorillas and Nibbles will forever live in history. Brickles was good, but it was for Mac so easily ignored :)

I was pretty good at some of the typing games, too. I remember throughout elementary school, at school progressing from the old Apples with TWO floppy disk drives to the early windows 3.1 machines where the monitor was built in to the computer..., and from home going from the commodore 64 to a gateway computer my family drove from Omaha to the factory in south dakota to buy... a tower about 5 foot tall and was state of the art.

7 of you are complete morons.

Oregon Trail owned.

Trainwreck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


I miss you.

[E20]

Wow, this is pretty interesting. When I was in Elementray school from 1995-2000 we had the same games as you older people did: Oregon Trail and Math Blaster. We also had this game where you create a story.

[katyon6th]

I'm with Manny. Oregon Trail was the shit.

[resistanze]

Was there some game called Offshore Fishing For UNIX?

Whatever that game was called, it was the shit.

[CuckingFunt]

As a child of the 80's, I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I've never actually played Oregon Trail.
