I just realized where I know JumpStart from! I used to play their educational CD games as a kid!

[Underwatered]

[Emily]

I think I used to play those? I can't remember but they seem really familiar.

I really liked the third grade one because it had a robot... Then my sister scratched the disk.

We played these in Elementary School!

 

I had never made the connection either!

Ah wow And now they can't even run neopets properly .. Sad JS

You think they could run neopets better.

But I used have to play these dumb but fun cds for computer class.. My computer teacher actually slapped our hands if we weren't doing something right, like home row/not making further enough progress. But hey now I can type faster than anyone IK so joke's on him

Nice to have childhood memories remembered

I was an avid player of Math Blaster and Reading Blaster.

 

Math Blaster was where it was as. Action + Math and enough action to make me forget I was doing math.

I still have the 1st and 2nd grade CDs ahah.

You think they could run neopets better.

 

 

I feel like they probably *could*... Just maybe they *don't*....

Ppfftt you kids have it easy with your optical discs and your electronic computing machines, back in my day we were forced to solve differentials with sticks scratching in the dirt
