LizzieG wrote:Where in the World Is Carmen San Diego? is another fun one, and I was a fan of Oregon Trail, the fourth edition... even though the main map/journey screen never worked, and I had to stare into blackness while listening to my partners complain that they didn't have enough fresh vegetables, or to my wagon crossing a river and wondering if we were going to make it. I purchased the fifth edition a year or so ago, but it just isn't the same since you don't get to pick/interact with your trailmates.
There were so many good ones!
I was intentionally omitting games that we had on the Mac at the time, but
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? was one of them. Unfortunately, when we got the game I was like, 8 and some of the geography bits were too complicated.
I also really enjoyed
Battle Chess (another Mac game - Mac games used to be ridiculously expensive, so we only owned about 3). My absolute favorite, however, was
Odell Down Under though in retrospect, all you did was move up the fish food chain through creative eating choices.
Finally, the grand trio of
SIM Farm, SIM Ant, and
SIM City were at the top of the list of some of my most-played PC games.
