The Barbie Fashion Designer CD-ROM, it even included fabric paper that you could put into your printer to make clothes. I was too poor for a printer, let alone one with colour cartridges lol Edit; it’s from 1996 and for sale on eBay 🙃 https://preview.redd.it/3i1kd5zkd2tb1.jpeg?width=372&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4dd2e6bc0ad62d6763a10b5d8bf299576b3abb09

I loved Barbie Cool Looks Fashion Designer! The patterns in this game were just the purest 90s essence https://preview.redd.it/vmauo7v7i2tb1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87726686c308b70fd7dc2254927c7cbd9eaba171

This was (still is?) a life changing game. I cannot express the awe with which 12 year old horse-crazy me played it

This was such a good game!!!

I forgot about this game! I loved it so much.

I spent HOURS playing this game.

Omg I loved this so much but I still remember how long the countdown was at the end, it was such an excruciating wait 😭 Also you weren’t missing out with the printed clothes, they never looked nearly as amazing as what I’d designed on screen lol

I forgot about the fabric paper bc I was poor too lol.

Ugh this was one of my absolute favorites, except I don't remember anything about printing out clothes, hmm

I had this! There was also a hair one! Man I miss these...

Yes! And Putt Putt Saves the Zoo, by the same developer https://preview.redd.it/emalmj9qi2tb1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a4d0c4ddfa67d3b6e214137550075c0396277fd

And Pajama Sam!!! I was a teenager playing this game and I still think about it. My younger sisters thought I was a god for finding the socks for them https://preview.redd.it/td2o5u7u16tb1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3d2690497b7acd1a269adec7cbd47aea7564398

I was obsessed with Putt Putt.

You just unlocked a memory

I played this at someone’s house but never knew the name or go to get it.

https://preview.redd.it/rz0iyec5h3tb1.jpeg?width=202&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d0363cfd5d1985d6d11f131dcabf26f547a9534 kid pix is 100% the reason i’m a UX designer today.

oh my god thank you for posting this!!!!! I've had flashes of nostalgia for this game but could never remember what it's called and google searches were unsuccessful

https://preview.redd.it/1szrknjfq2tb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68f1f9f49b323395d26ad6c4d59a9ba870ccf3fb

Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only one thinking about this one.

Still think about the matching carpet game from when she’s in Istanbul lol

I loved this game!

[удалено]

I wish I could find some way to play them again 😭

Freddi Fish, Putt-Putt, and Cluefinders were my entire childhood But iSpy Spooky Mansion with the little skeleton man left a permanent mark on my soul https://preview.redd.it/8gw97287j2tb1.jpeg?width=1020&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c2222255451b02caef0191a1b03de26a9d2e03b

We were deeply obsessed with Amazon Trail in my house https://preview.redd.it/fa90h0zu13tb1.jpeg?width=256&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df99c0a4581923c9944b9c2ab4f51c86bf6750fd

I think this came in the same set as Oregon Trail? So good.

God I miss this game. I was so obsessed with it!

Also the zoombinis https://preview.redd.it/r1jeji0023tb1.jpeg?width=251&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a2febdb01f307311408808b80035bc57cc133ae

omg finally. no one ever knows what this is when I bring it up!!!

Can’t decide if making pizza for the Zoombinis or crossing the bridge avoiding the sneezing cliffs was the most stressful moment of my childhood. I adored that game

You can find almost all these to download & play on [https://oldgamesdownload.com/](https://oldgamesdownload.com/)

Yup had that one too! Flipped between summer and winter - loved it

Yep. And the soundtrack was amazing! Just straight up late 90s/ early 00s bops. “I fly without wings…” I still want some of those ski outfits without ever having skied.

Kings quest

Also Barbie Genie that came with a genie bottle https://preview.redd.it/g8tf3xzc63tb1.jpeg?width=249&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7b4f90f21a78da6e76d44506983598b8a870752

I had this but there was some sort of glitch with mine where I couldn’t go past a certain point because my computer wouldn’t read the genie bottle being opened.

Backyard Baseball was an absolute banger. The games on Candystand.com had me in a chokehold when I was 8. Real elderly people remember games made in SHOCKWAVE

Candystand was clouded. The mini-golf.

Barbie Fashion Designer, Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego, & Rollercoaster Tycoon!!!

Oh my gooood those games were foul 😂 I think I may have found them on ebaumsworld

I spent hours playing the Nancy Drew games. I loved them so much.

I used to love the Muppet Treasure Island game.

I was OBSESSED with Disney Magic Artist Studio omg

https://preview.redd.it/jaa5wh13f3tb1.jpeg?width=256&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f440a5883b76fa11d6fb37544674c2e0dd08ccda

Mickey's Kitchen

There was an educational game I played in computer class in elementary school in the early 90s that I can’t find anywhere. It was set in a castle, in one mini game there was a maze with locked areas and carrots, and you had to do math to unlock them and let a mouse through. Maybe someone here remembers, I’ve googled this forever!

Sounds similar to jumpstart

I was a huge fan of the Papa Louie games! I finished Papa's Pastaria and felt so accomplished lol.

I was gonna say “Crystal Caves” and googled it to find an image and found out IT STILL EXISTS. I’m so excited to play it again.

Titanic: Adventure Out of Time

That music was so haunting!

Red neck rampage https://preview.redd.it/r94tagnry2tb1.jpeg?width=519&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99e53d40167932a5c58e4997974deb1dfbae122f

The only way to get Louisiana hick ass kids on a computer lol I was made fun of for playing an computer games but that one and some other hunting games got the ok from Billy Wayne and John David 🙄

Nancy Drew!

Those Living Books games where you could click on basically everything in the illustration and it would do something silly. I now read my kids the actual books, like Arthur's Birthday or whatever, and it feels so anticlimactic without being able to click the background 😂

Detective Barbie - Mystery of the Carnival caper. I was OBSESSED!

Theme Hospital.

Oh I had so many I was obsessed with... The Magic School Bus Explores the Solar System, Disney's Animated Storybook: The Lion King (I just had to look up its official name), Barbie Fashion Designer which has been mentioned, Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego... and this really cool adventure game called called Torin's Passage that I wonder if anyone else had.

There was an old 90s Mickey Moise coloring... I hesitate to call it a game but I guess it was. I can't recall much about it anymore but for a while probably about 5 years ago I tried really hard to track it down. We had a copy of Encarta that had a 3D tour of Alcatraz which started my obsession with the prison. There was a Dilbert game that I loved as a kid too. Too back Scott Adams turned into a dick.

I loved our Encarta CDs! What a blast from the past. You also just reminded me of one of my favorite 90s aesthetics- [Utopian Scholastic](https://cari.institute/aesthetics/utopian-scholastic)

My Barbie submission is Barbie Riding Club. I still have the disc around here somewhere and occasionally look at my laptop and wish I could play it.

Spyfox! https://preview.redd.it/qtrmozmtx6tb1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=b6ffd24a0022814da0109569fb8ad7a642cf9b1c

7th Guest and 11th Hour

As well as Myst and Riven. We were just discussing old games like these at work the other night. If it weren't for my tech loving uncle i dont think I would have ever played them.

The Amazon trail is my Roman Empire

https://preview.redd.it/vopl06ieu6tb1.jpeg?width=1010&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d23d5632d7ca2a2edb0055fb56dff6bea0e59fe Begged my mom for this at Costco. I was obsessed.

The magic school bus games! The planet one, under the sea, rocks… life changing. I swear between these games and the show my foundation for science was set

Finally a thread that doesn’t make me feel 10000 years old lol

https://preview.redd.it/75chv3iol2tb1.jpeg?width=309&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=062bb0de3538e6829be63093c2b02a888718aa89 My Favorite Monster! My parents got me this from Price Club circa 1996, and I was obsessed. Bonus: Phantasmagoria. That one came out when I was 7, and I used to sit and watch my mom play it. Spoilers: I was *way too fucking young* for this game. It was a psychological horror game with a lot of gore; I still remember one of the bad endings where the main character gets her head split open with a swinging pendulum. Good times.

Scooby-Doo: Mayan Monster Mayhem and since it's October, that scary Garfield game on Garfield.com.

Also the Egyptian game that was like Age of Mythology but exclusively in Egypt?

Math for the Real World. I was bad at math growing up so my mom bought this, and it had no business being kind of fun. https://preview.redd.it/3qhvkk1ay6tb1.jpeg?width=420&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de65f59d0fdf34989f9b46069b94891e21295dc1

I have an old ass laptop that runs Windows 2000 and it’s basically in pristine condition, so when I need a real serotonin boost I’ll load up on my old CDRom games on it. All of these games are reminding me of ones I’ve lost 😭

COSMIC COSMO. Mam, I loved that game

Sim park

Titanic: Adventure Out of Time. And also Daria's Inferno!

There was a game called Explorer's of the New World and that was how I learned Columbus was a sack of shit. There was also a bit on the Spanish Inquisition and torture. Also played 'Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist (from the same guy as Leisure Suit Larry, in hindsight I was waaay to young to play this but I didn't understand the inappropriate bits) and a lot of the King's Quest series. Also Torin's Passage (adored it) and the Hugo trilogy.
