What Were Those Damn PC Games?

Rogues' Gallery

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhh….......

Whatever shit Muah had is contagious and now I can't recall for the life of these two PC games I had when I was little!

You know I rarely make threads, but this is nagging on my brain and I can't concentrate for shit! Can you guys help me out?

The first PC game was a math/learning game for kids. As I recall, there was some kind of witch, and you were scattered into this spooky Halloween land where you had to solve puzzles and do educational shit to earn these Keys. There were multiple keys and you had to collect them all to open this door. I remember that some of the educational challenges you faced were doing multiplication with Vampires in a maze and watering monster plants with fractions or something. Really hard shit when I was little.

The second PC game I can hardly recall anything at all except that It had these red flying demon monkeys and that you had a crossbow to shoot/kill them. Maybe had some mummies too. You were in some castle or dungeon or something, I think.

The first might be treasure mountain I guess.

No idea on the second. What year did you play it, were the graphics cga/vga, was it dos or windows etc, etc.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! One Down & One 2 Go!!!

I tried a Youtube search of the first game with "Math Vampire Maze" and found it. The name of the first game is

Jumpstart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island. Here's the intro:

ROFL, I never once beat the game as kid, I was so fucking stupid.

Now I still don't know the name of the second game, though. :wassat:

@Darkstorm, I don't know about the cga/vga & the year played, but It was for the Windows I believe.

No Maam

Maybe we should make a thread for these type of things .

Cause I got one too . It was this english/spelling learning thing where you had a boy and a girl colecting words to match the corect symbols , being overseen by a green "bookworm" with glasses who threw slime over your enemies - which apeared every time you done something wrong . These were the best part of the game . Especialy the creepy looking purple blob . I sometimes just spammed errors to get as much of these fuckers on screen as humanly possible .

Anyone know the game ? I know it was MS-DOS and you had to put in some retarded code to get it to run .

edit : found it . It's Word Rescue

Anyone got any Ideas on what the second PC game is?

You need more details for the second one. I could have bet my suit I played most of the big hitters on PC back in the day but I don't know of any red demon monkey shoot.

Was it an educational game?

I also have a game if anyone's an expert, It's an educational Spelling game, with a weird bald guy in a purple coat and a parrot. You play as a Tribal guy or something.
There were two parts to a game, one where you had to get letters in a certain order to spell a word, in a Birds-Eye View perspective. and the other where you were tested on spelling and every time you got it rite your character would row further up the river.

Argh, Can't think of the name. Was sure as hell fun though. It was also american if that helps.

I just replayed that game recently myself. Yobi's face bears a striking resemblance to "trollface guy".

Thanks for that. Might see about Downloading it or something, I remember the game getting pretty difficult near the end, I'm currently on a quest to hunt down games as a kid I couldn't beat, this was one of them.

Holy shit! I have that first game! Still! Your entire class of students were turned into monsters, you had to turn them back to normal, and whenever you did you got a key to the final battle.

Great, now I'm contemplating playing it again.

I want it!!! You simply must give it to me~~~

I never once beat that game (though my brother did, and I wanted to play it again now as a college student but my dad threw/gave it away…..

I looked on Amazon & $22 for a new one! A new Heretic is only $10 though, so $29 total, so maybe...

Insider, give it to me~~~~~~~

P.S. Does anyone know if & where I can download these games for free & play it online?

Malintex_Terek

Heretic should be within Google reach. I have a torrent for YMSS somewhere.

Wow, That guy IS trollface guy.

He should randomly just whack his staff on the ground and say "BACK TO THE START", immediately deleting all your progress. (I'm playing it now)

Actually there is a thread for this, I made it a while back. It's in the media section and titled 'The Media Look and Find thread'. It's been pushed back a bunch of pages though. Just look up threads by 'Mokenda_mint' in media. :P
