I played tons of the classic 90s games like Backyard baseball, Spy Fox and 7th Guest (Which I'm sure had nothing to do with me being desensitized to Horror movies and games XD), but I also spent a lot of time messing with programs like GameMaker, Anim8tor and random maze creator type programs. What were yours?

Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2 (shout-out to OpenRCT!), Island of Dr Brain, Oregon Trail 3rd edition, Math Blaster, and a bunch of little educational games that nobody else has ever heard of from Ohio Distinctive Software.

As an edutainment nerd, I would be happy to hear the names of these little educational games

If you remember at least the names, you should consider contributing to the MobyGames database
