Hi,
I grew up learning on an Apple IIE (everyone in class fought to get the one with a color screen), and am reminiscing about the fun educational games that were around. That got me to thinking that my niece's birthday is coming up (she'll be 5), and it would be great to get her some of the classic kids games and educational software.
If I can find a good number of programs I'll buy her an old iMac off Ebay to run OS 9 (preferably a pink-ish one). The problem is that I don't recall the names of many programs (only Carmen San Diego and Oregon Trail - and they weren't too educational).
So, if you're interested in reminiscing with me:
(1) list your favorite educational software for young kids. Educational software is great (math, spelling, grammar, typing, geography, etc.).
(2) list the fun, semi-educational games too (Carmen San Diego, Oregon Trail, etc.)
Also, does anyone know where to buy this software on the cheap? Do any places sell old classic Mac OS software in bulk?
Thanks.
