    My parents only let me play educational PC games when I was a kid. Anyone want to list their Top 5 Super Seeker/Learning Company games with me?

    Whatever that game was with Microsoft Encarta (ha ha), I don't remember the name, but it was pretty rad and educational!
    I was pretty into PC games growing up, like the X-Files multi disk game
    The newer Oregon Trail (that was also so many disks)
    Warcraft
    Doom
    The 7th Guest
    etc.

    In no particular order:

    1. Earthbound
    2. Secret of Mana
    3. Secret of Evermore
    4. The Legend of Zelda: ALTTP
    5. Illusion of Gaia

    And I still play them to this day. :)

    Fully forgot Super Mario RPG (still own it, still play it), Breath of Fire, and Lufia! I actually rocked Lufia quite a bit in the childhood years.

    GOOD ANSWERS, PEOPLE!

    And, I'm sorry, did someone say the only game they played for SNES was sonic?!? REALLY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??

    Mario just punched you from his fictional home, perhaps in Donut land or wherever.

    1. FFVI - Even today it remains my favorite FF of them all. Forever ship Locke and Celes and OMG Sabin Ownage!
    2. Chrono Trigger - REALLY close to FFVI but the music isn't *quite* as awesome.
    3. Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past - Nuff said
    4. Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen - Technically a strategy RPG (although not quite FFTactics, which, btw, Tactics Ogre came first), but it's impossible not to include this one.
    5. Breath of Fire - for some reason there's just something about the ambiance of this one always got to me.

    Honorable mention to Lufia as well but I didn,t get very far there either :(

    However I haven't played Earthbound and I barely grazed the likes of Secret of Mana and Terranigma. And played FF and CT on emulators and my Playstation because, well... Hard to find much?

    While I had my SNES the games I did own were Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island (to this day still a favorite), Mario Paint (lol), NHL 95 aand I think that's about it. I also regret selling it :(

    I still think Chrono Trigger is one of the most fun games I"ve ever played. I bought the PS version with the New Game + combined with FFIII... but I never played FFIII. But I've played Chrono Trigger more than any one game.

    That and Mario RPG. Damn that game was so much fun.

    To nitpick:

    LTTP taught me how to read as a little kid and it has near-holy status in my pantheon of good games. But I wouldn't necessarily call it an RPG because there aren't stat roll calculations being run behind the scenes when you perform actions in the game, as opposed to Secret of Mana/Evermore where there's HP calculations per hit, etc.

    Jusssst saying. :)

    RPG = Role Playing Game
    Technically, any videogame is an RPG =P

    But if you wanna get technical, I'm pretty sure LoZ classifies since you get stronger from defeating eneies and completing quests (new items, heart containers, sometimes have to gather intel in a village, that type of stuff).

    Then again that would also sorta classify Super Metroid if you stretch the description far enough :P

    I def. remember an Encarta game, haha! I had all those, like, Treasure Mathstorm, Gizmos and Gadgets, Spellbinder type games, too. And Oregon and Amazon trail, and a bunch of one-shot educational games as well. PC games are still my jam, WoW, Dragon Age, Left for Dead, the Sims, etc. :smile:

    Duck Hunt!

    Sorry, all I ever got to play was Mario Bros. Oh, I had a kick *kitten* Commodore 64, though! And Pac-Man on my Atari. :smile:

    Well since this thread is now an early pc educational game thread I'll bite.
    1. Super solvers
    2. Word muncher
    3. Oregon trail * always ford the river! Yolo*
    4.sim tower
    Not even worthy of a number Mavis beacon teaches typing. Although the car level was pretty cool, too much poop on the windshield for me :-(
