I'm 19 and I remember Encarta! Also remember Microsoft Autoroute, the very start of route planners

EDIT: Just looked, they still make Autoroute! Thought it would've been abandoned for free services years ago!

Does anybody remember the educational game which was included with Encarta 95? It was a medieval setting...

Aaah!

This was the only thing on my nans computer. Hours, and hours, and yet more hours of boredom ensued when I was round there...

Anyone remember that game around that time where you had to climb a mountain with ladders. My mum told me that the desktop we had cost £2k.

Ahh, thanks. Many a year 7 lesson spent playing Mindmaze! I vaguely remember a very annoying looking Joker on it.

now there's a real flash back!

Wasn't there a whole run of "educational games" a bit like this, all horribly based on small fmv animations of people moving about...

Dad got me all sorts of "better" (mmx enabled) pc's to try and get these things to work properly back in the day! (never worked well though as his grasp of windows was poor)
