Old educational games - Ton - 11-14-2009
You know, the ones you played in school. We've already got Math/Word Rescue on the site, but does anyone know where we can get these games for free to rip?
Number Munchers

Some game where you play as Rudolph trying to save Christmas.
Probably others I'm forgetting.

Well, my little brother has a bunch of reader rabbit and math blaster, but most of those sprites wouldn't really seem to be of much use. I can check into them anyway, though.
RE: Old educational games - tsr moderation staff - 11-15-2009
someone rip math blaster
SOMEONE RIP MATH BLASTER
edit: oh what the hell thats awesome
RE: Old educational games - Ton - 11-15-2009
A lot of what we rip isn't much use. I just want to see them done because I played them as a kid.
Especially Dr. Q.
RE: Old educational games - Vipershark - 11-15-2009
for some reason I seem to remember number munchers, or at least the name
what "console" was it on?
RE: Old educational games - A.J. Nitro - 11-15-2009
Oh ya, I remember this one Reader Rabbit in school, but I forgot which one it was, but it had the ABC Diner. I loved that one! Oh, and I also loved Sammy's Science House and the other games that were like that, but with Math, and Reading, and all those other ones.
RE: Old educational games - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 11-15-2009
Math Blaster is awesome.
How about that Mario typing app?
RE: Old educational games - GrooveMan.exe - 11-15-2009
If someone rips any of The Magic School Bus games, I'll love then forever. They had a shitload of sprites and games in em. Space had a platformer, and Ocean had a cool 3D maze thing.

Grammar for the Real World.
HE HIT ME
NO HE HIT ME
AND THEN HE TOOK MY CLOTHES
RE: Old educational games - GrooveMan.exe - 11-15-2009
Oh, and The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis.
Having Zoombini sprites would be extremely pro.
RE: Old educational games - Ton - 11-15-2009
As far as I know they were all for PC.
RE: Old educational games - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 11-15-2009
Wouldn't that make them easier to rip?
RE: Old educational games - Ton - 11-15-2009
Maybe. You can't generally remove layers in PC games, but sometimes they, especially older games, will have a folder with all the graphics in it. There's also the part where we have to find the game online somewhere because they're not as easy to find as ROMs.
RE: Old educational games - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 11-15-2009
I have an original CD of Math Blaster, if anyone can tell me how to rip from such games, I'd be game (and it'll be a nice excuse to play it again
)
RE: Old educational games - Ton - 11-15-2009
Look around on the CD and see if you can find anything. We'll go from there.
