1. Very first video game?
Hard to remember exactly, but it was one of the assortment of games we had on our original iMac as a kid. Bugdom, Nanosaur, Zoombinis... and I believe "Playroom" on our older, black-and-white (what I think was a) Macintosh Classic.
So in my off time, I’ve been playing a LOT of Zoombinis! And I want to ask… does ANYBODY remember Zoombinis?
At 7:00pm CST, I'll be streaming a game I'm super nostalgic for from my childhood! ZOOMBINIS! @UnicornRaline will accompany me on this logical journey! She's never played the game, so we'll be puzzlin' through together!
#robbydoodles Thanks for trying out Zoombinis for the stream!
@SirDusterBuster Sprinkle takes some inspiration from Zoombinis (cookie wheel), Joy (often happy, incapable of angry emotions), and Mrs. Cream (she's ice cream too lol)
@KayliiMae This might be an obscure one, Ulla Instantaneous, the musical raccoon inn owner from Zoombinis. Alternatively, I don't think you could get any lighter effort than the Zoombinis themselves. Small blue orbs lol.
@Always_Winter42 I thought you said Zoombinis for a hot second haha
Zoombinis is the best bit of 90s edutainment trash that could possibly be made. Every single moment of it is artful and memorable. Genuinely challenging puzzles, doesn't feel like learning, gorgeous art and animation, the pizza troll is a scene stealer. Perfect
Some other notables, but more obvious/top-of-mind-still ones:
-Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego?
-Zoombinis
-Math Blasters
-Pajama Sam
-Freddi Fish (s/o to this one tho bc looking at these made me remember kid-me thinking SO hard to solve the puzzles)
stream is over! drew a lizard foot for an hour, then zoombinis for an hour, then lurched into delirium from sleep deprivation, and ended by spilling water all over my desk. see you next time!
I nominate the Stone Guard on the upper path from Logical Journey of the Zoombinis as @Baddieoftheday
Reminder - Zoombinis is on SALE! For iPad, Android tablet $2.99, Mac $3.99 https://t.co/IJL0uY7yde Arno approves!
