Am I the only Zoomer? I see a lot of "I remember"-type responses, so I have to wonder.

Yeah my kids get to play 90's CD-ROM infotainment games. World of Richard Scarry and such. Basic math, phonics and spelling haven't changed since then and these games are guaranteed to not have any in-app purchases or ads! First it was on a PowerBook G3 that is going bad so it's been swapped out for an iMac G4.

That's a big plus. I also like that they have to use the keyboard, since the mouse can be a bit tricky when you're young.

I had no idea there was a Richard Scarry game! They love the books, so maybe I should give it a shot. (Though it does look pretty mouse-heavy)
