Jumpstart 4th Grade Haunted Island
Teaches a bunch of subjects and helps develop problem-solving skills; its soundtrack has zero right to be so bitchin' but it is
Was asking about this today because I couldnt remember the name or franchise and Lemmy came thru, reuniting me with yet another thing I could remember sound of but not the content or name, long thought lost to the sands of time
Looking for stuff like Reader Rabbit, KidPyx, etc
Hyper Card
Kid Pix
For those like me that don't know HyperCard, it's a visual programming tool for Apple II. Ars Technica has a good rundown with more technical and historical details
Foe Apple II? No, it runs on Macintoshes not Apple machines (other than the IIgs but that's kind of an odd ball). It was developed until the mid 2000s.
"visual programming" I would also say isn't quite correct. The programming was textual, using a Hyper Talk based language (based on Small Talk). But it interacted with visual objects. Kinda like Flash (which was also Hyper Talk based if memory serves).
Kid Pix! Did you get it at a CompUSA perchance?
I had so much fun with hyper card! We had to use it in my programming class, I made a small text based RPG out of it!
I made RPGs, platformers, space alien style arcade shooters, utilities. It was a huge contributor to my love of computers. RIP Bill Atkinson!
