Oregon Trail/Carmen Sandiago/Amazon Trail - The Classics

[Corrderio]

I also remember getting to play Sim City for a week in Civics. Good times...

My school had this one about a kid with a shotgun killing zombies. Don't remember the name.

Nothing like loading your wagon full of bullets and hunting constantly.

You have caught 3105 lbs of meat. Unfortunately you were only able to carry back 17 lbs of meat.

Leisure Suit Larry was also pure gold.

There was also another game we had but I can't recall the name of it. It involved some bodyless kid who wears a red cap backwards, and goes into rooms solving logic puzzles involving magnets, lights, etc...

Gizmos and Gadgets, I had this as a kid, played it a lot, but don't remember crap about it though(had to look it up for the name even though someone in the topic already said the name), other then really liking the music.

EDIT:Actually the game i played was Super Solvers: Out Numbered, though G&G was from the same series

Also spent loads of time on Where in Space is Carmen Sandiego and Mario is Missing(PC Version, I think I'm the only person who actually liked this game) at home, played the usually Oregon Trail, Math Blaster games and such in school.

I remember playing though a Math version of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego during high school, but I finished the class just as I got to the end of the game... Carmen had once again slipped from my grasp, probably for the last time since I don't think I've played a Carmen game since.

[Aevis]

if you don't know about CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, you don't know shit about video games.

MS-DOS made me learn to hate conventional memory since there was never fucking enough for every game to be happy without needing to disable some of the non-essential drivers (including my cd-rom drive if game didn't need).

I remember having to boot up using my script that loaded just the bare minimum so I can play Betrayal at Krondor.

"640k ought to be enough for anybody" my ass Bill.

My mom was a teacher, so she would get copies of all the cool games for free for me to play at home. I remember the original Oregon Trail, and a sequel that came out in the mid 90s that had voice-acting and photo-realistic images, was a pretty neat update. Then one day she changed my little gamer world. Came home with a disc she said had copy protection, and since she couldn't put it on all the comps at school, she just brought it home so I could play it. The disc turned out to be a Lucas Arts collection that had full versions of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Good times.

Yeah, loved me some Oregon Trail back in the day though my elementary/middle schools used Macs over PC's. I was living in Okinawa at the time and I think the schools on the military bases had some sort of contract with Apple at the time. OutNumbered was also a pretty bad-ass game. Glad someone else mentioned it. In high school I had a teacher with six Macs in her classroom, each loaded with a few games like Lemmings and SimCity.
