Comment by echelon

I remember the titles on the old Apple II machines at elementary school:

- Oregon Trail

- Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego

- Super Solvers (the best of the lot)

I also got a Windows 95 IBM Aptiva PC from my parents that had a lot of educational software. I can only remember some of it:

- The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain (I loved this game - it had logic programming, 3D spatial reasoning tasks, biology, ...)

- Encarta Encyclopedia virtual maze

- Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing (I hated it; I learned to type when I got onto IGN Boards, EZboards, AIM, and IRC.)

- King's Quest VII (this counts as educational logic puzzles, right?)

- MechWarrior II (well, I considered it educational...)

I'm envious of kids today growing up with LLMs and vibe coding. I would have had a blast at that age with the tools we have today.
