Having major nostalgia issues at the moment. Looking at a bunch of educational/fun games I used to play as a kid.
Anyone else the old MECC 'Trail' games? You know, Oregon Trail, Yukon Trail, Amazon Trail, etc.....the way they were best before Learning Company usurped everything.
Trail games
Someone reminisce with me!
Anyone remember MECC games?

I still have a copy of the Oregon Trail! I still play it, even! I'm the only one in my family to ever finish it XD
I got the Amazon Trail out of a cereal box...>__> It was too buggy for me to finish.

I've played Amazon Trail, but I didn't finish it. I have Oregon Trail and I can beat it now without breaking a sweat. Usually, my people don't die, but then there are those times when I shoot them or when I'm mauled by bears. I'm homeschooled, so sometimes I got to play this instead of history. Nyuk nyuk nyuk.

What, you dont kill your people off for fun!?
lol, the original DOS version of that game was awesome. Temember the hunting sequences with a black screen and random pixelated bushes and animals. Good times. Writing epitaphs is the best part too.
My favourite of them was the Amazon one actually. I'm certain Yukon was rigged...you could never strike it rich! (did anyone ever get the huge strike that was on the back of the CD case? I think not.)
I can't remember if Africa Trail was before or after TLC, but I know MayaQuest was MECC. Those ones weren't quite as good though, imo.
I remeber them all so well along with math blaster on the old 5.3" floppys.
Math Blaster!!! There was an old old version of that, but then they came out with MB: In Search of Spot. That game was awesome. ^_^
(Is it just me, or do today's educational games suck in comparison? Either that or i'm just too old to enjoy.

Probably depends on what you're playing...'cause those Cluefinder games are pretty fun!

Ah yes, I used to the play the Oregon Trail games years ago. Also did some stuff with Amazon Trail but I don't think that I ever finished it.
Yukon Trail had amusing bits but was pretty easy.

I used to love MECC's games. Can you still purchase them?
