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!

I don't think our school computers had these. :\

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 remeber them all so well along with math blaster on the old 5.3" floppys. I never got far in them tho once I got a cd vertion of the Origen trail one I found out how to hack it and beat it in less than an hour heh gota love bein board with nothin to do but mess with those games. Tho Yukon was a bit to easy to beat.

oregon trail was a truely epic game, you just feel so bad when little karen gets cholera....

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!

Oregon trail was such a fun game. its been so long since i played it but still a classic and i will always remember those who died on that long trek across country. I did actually beat it though.

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.

we had those i'm not sure which ones though

I still have my copy of Oregon Trail II

MAN! I had so much fun with that game. The best part in OT was hunting

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