Most are available to play on the internet now, so in those cases, I’ve also included links to where you can find them - frequently either an app store or the Internet Archive’s glorious collection of browser-based, emulated DOS games. So, in the spirit of nostalgia, here are 15 ’90s-era computer games that made learning incredibly fun. Though the graphics on the computer games from the ’90s may be laughable now, just remember - once upon a time, they were considered the pinnacle of technological achievement. Some were part of long-running series, while still more of them received a number of remakes and reboots as technology improved. (Yes, I say that as a fully grown adult.)Ī lot of the educational computer games from the ’90s were originally developed and released long before the decade began, which could be why many '80s babies hold a certain degree of fondness for them many actually dated back to the decade in which we were born. And you know what? These games are still fun. That’s probably why there were so dang many fantastic '90s educational computer games - the rise of home computing (and, by extension, the rise of computing in the classroom) during the 1990s opened up a new world of possibilities, including tons of ways to make learning a blast for up-and-coming generations. It was checked for updates 31 times by the users. Why do you ask?) But when it’s a literal game? Then it’s even better, especially when you’re a kid. Next they will build six math models that show the commutative property of multiplication. Real talk: I think learning is always fun.
