![]() ![]() The first title, Logical Journey of the Zoombinis, was released in 1996 and seemed to make its way into every school in the country. They were little blue blobs with feet you had to guide to a safe land known as Zoombiniville (lazy name, but we’ll let that slide) by solving a series of puzzles. I don’t know why this was on the school computers because it wasn’t all that educational, but it whips ass so who fucking cares?Įveryone remembers Zoombinis. Heaps of tiny green-haired idiots just marching mindlessly towards death, waiting for you to save them by instructing the one in front to build some goddamn stairs over a bottomless pit. The first time I ever played Lemmings was on a school computer in year 3 and it was the fucking best. I also have an issue with a fish being named Luther. The Freddi Fish games were made by Humongous Entertainment, who also created the Putt-Putt games above, so it handles in a very similar manner.įreddi Fish and his small green pal, Luther, embark on adventures specific to the title of the game, much like their anthropomorphic car cousin. One such adventure is titled The Case of the Hogfish Rustlers of Briny Gulch, which almost sounds like it’s a porno. I could have sworn Putt-Putt was named after the sound a stupid car would make, kinda like Brum, but according to Wikipedia, “his name was given to him by his father, who enjoyed to play mini golf”. They were point-and-click adventures in which you play a car named Putt-Putt, taking on different objectives like saving a zoo, for example. The Putt-Putt series is made up of a heap of games, but in terms of what you’d consider main titles, there are seven in total. So come on a magical journey as we remember some of the classics of schoolyard gaming, starting with the aforementioned talking car. They were fun as hell back then, probably because we were dumbasses at the time, but I bet if you played them now they’d blow real hard, save for a couple. ![]() It ignited an inferno of memories from the days when classroom computers contained all sorts of educational delights. ![]()
