I wish MegaMan was a more interesting game

Playing 1 and 2 I get, but it is becoming a bit much. They should player Legends.
Actually, Legends is probably more boring than my rose-tinted memory leads me to believe.

So, continuing the edutainment conversation from Blue Bombin', what are your favorites (or ones that you remember). By far, my favorites are The Oregon Trail and (like Alex) Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego. But some I recall are Number Munchers, and Treasure Mountain (I played that a lot in Elementary School).
A lot of these can actually be played in a web browsers thanks to Archive.org.

I have never played an educational game in my life as far as I know.

Legends 2 is still very good. The first has aged horribly, mostly because of the controls.
I own the DOS version of Treasure Mountain, along with Outnumbered and Midnight Rescue, along with remade Win16 versions of Treasure Mountain, Mathstorm, Cove and Galaxy.
I also have a bunch of dos era Reader Rabbit stuff, and some other various math games that I can't recall anymore.
Edutainment was my childhood. I still have my save files circa 1995-6 for those DOS games. I never did own Gizmos and Gadgets, but that was easily the best game of the whole Super Solvers series (and probably the whole Learning Company catalog)

I never got to play Legends 2. Maybe I'll play with an emulator at some point. I only got to play the first game because it was released as MegaMan 64.

The one edutainment game (it's not technically a "game") that I'm sad I can't play anymore is my Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness Encyclopedia of Space and the Universe CD. As it was a Windows 95 program (and not DOS) there is no way to play it on anything past Windows XP easily. I liked it because it had a fun moon landing game and a game where you put the correct rocket together. It's pretty much the only edutainment game of my childhood that I can't use anymore if I wanted to, but I'm still holding on to the CD.

Right in my childhood. We had this game at school and one of like the three games installed.
1) I enjoy talking about the McElboys in these threads
2) I was expecting the MBMBaM show to be very bad
3) That first episode was very good!

I just can't get into MBMBaM. And its not because I only like Giant Bomb or anything, I enjoy a lot of other gaming YouTube content. But Monster Factory is just...amusing, and everyone else seems to find it laugh out loud hilarious. Same with most their stuff
I honestly barely pay attention to much they do, but the show was funny.
Maybe I also was a good target. Before watching it I had a nice cry because of the end if Lion.

as someone who did Monster Factory for almost an entire console generation with friends on the 360, it's hard to really get much out of it
I'm guilty of it because I give the same free pass but I wholly believe Double Fine is kept afloat by good will magics alone.
That and remasters. They actually forgot the Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle remasters on the Beastcast. And now they are working on Full Throttle. Should be out soon.
Psychonauts actually sold more on Steam than it ever did on console. It's sitting at 1.5 million on there now. Granted, you could get it really cheap.

I wish someone would look at me the way that Nintendo rep looks at Drew.

Whoa they got White Guy Blinking for some content. Good on GB!
whoa it's the gif guy
He is playing a game all about staring into each other's eyes 👀
That's nothing compared to Brad's interview with that female Nintendo employee from years back. You could see the sparks in the air.
