I loved these as a child, but considering I also watched my siblings play the original Prince of Persia and its requisite bloody deaths, I always had this bad habit of imagining what would happen to the kids if Benny didn't save them like he does, and it was always kind of terrifying in my head as a kid. Thinking back on it, it's just weird. Still, it's nice to see all these nostalgic reviews. XD

Sorry. Damn Iphone touchscreen. When I was in intermediate school back in 2004 in computer class the computers had several educational games. One of them was math rescue. I loved it and played it to the point of discovering wired glitches. Now I wonder why my school had games from 1992 on their computers in 2004. I am not mad( I love old games) it just seems kinda weird to me.

Holy shit, the nostalgia. I played these games about 20 years ago back when I was in school, along with Granny's Garden, Mario Teaches Typing, Math Circus, and Paginitzu. I couldn't remember what these two were called though, but I remembered you could kill enemies with slime. So I googled -educational slime video game-, and this video turned up.

I never had Word Rescue, but I'm pretty sure I had both Math Rescues. most definitely the Plus version. LOVE them, and Treasure Mathstorm, even though math was always my least favorite subject. :P It was mostly the graphics and the environments that were awesome--the candy land was the best, and the ocean, and cave and all.

I'd trade almost anything to go back in time to when I'd play this game as a kid. Floppy disks, DOS, three kids sitting on a bench in front of the computer. I couldn't even read yet so I'd just watch my big brother and sister play most of the time.
Thanks for bringing this back to me. I needed this moment of nostalgia.

Omg. I have been trying to find this game for almost 26 years. I am from Brazil and I used to play it when I was 5. The year was 1995 and i remember this game being one of the things we had to do on computer. It was very educational cause we could train a little bit of our English too.

OMG! I played this game when I was small! I totally forgot the name! There was also a math game in similar fashion, but. What was it called? The one where you can drop buckets of pink goo on huge butterflies? I dunno if I remember this correctly, but I think was like that.

Huh, re-watching old LGR vids and just realized -10: 31. Garbage Trunk? What an interesting thing to teach children. Though, I guess it might make kids who grew up learning from these games easier to spot. -Ooh, a siren, sounds like a Firetrunk's coming. -; p

Now here's a memory only a few might have. Playing Word Rescue with a black and white monitor, and trying to collect the word items that referenced colours and basically having to guess which shade of grey was which colour lest you trigger extra enemies

You were so awesome! I had shareware of both word and math games, but not Plus versions, and I did not understand math game, ironically I couldn't understand Math game because I'm not English speaker, yet I could unerstand game about English.
