Remember these? Top educational video games of the 80s
Filed under: Big Kids, Tweens, Media, Day Care & Education
Computer time is a big deal at our house, so much so that we have to set a time limit. My kids love to play the games they find at sites like PBSKids, Noggin, Sesame Street, and Starfall. I figure that if they're going to get screen time, it might as well be at least semi-educational, right? Educational Games Research recently compiled a list of the most influential educational video games of the 1980s. If you, like me, were coming of age during that time, then you'll remember these games well. Here's the list:
- The Oregon Trail (Who remembers sitting at those ancient Apple][e's, playing this one? I do!)
- Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
- SimCity
- Reader Rabbit
- Math Blaster
- Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing
- Lemonade Stand
- Number Munchers
- Zork
- Windows Solitaire
