this reminds me 2 things:
One time a friend of mine lend me over some of those CD's from PC Computer magazines that has a bunch of demos for games, and i was mostly interested in one single game Quake, but that game was in such bad shape that it didnt let me even copy the entire disc into the HDD without freezing and restarting the whole pc, but just 2 games could be copied, one was a demo for a Beavis and Butthead PC game i think and the other was the demo for Tekwar, so since im a fan of that series i copied the game but some of the files got corrupted, but strangely enough the game worked, but it was a nightmarish glitched mess that looked and sounded straight from a creepypasta.
And the second thing is that some of this Shareware games are actually pretty difficult to find, i actually wanted to find a copy or just a downloable version of this game called Jumpstar made by Dexterity Software, that game used to be my childhood back when i got my first pc, i played the heck of the demo back at the day and even if for today is a bit cheesy and pretty dated its still fun and pretty addictive too, is just a shame that Dexterity Software before closing down didnt do a compilation of their games or tried to make some sort of deal with other software companies to -share- or sell their games even if they arent software developers anymore.

This reminds me of a game I loved on my Dad's old PCjr: Touchdown Football. I couldn't even play it because we lost the joystick but it was fun to watch the computer pay itself. However when I started looking for it online it took forever just to find someone off-offhandedly mentioning it. Thankfully I still have the original disk but I don't have a PCjr or Tandy yet to be able to make sure it still works, and I can't even image the disk with the Kryoflux to use in DOSBox because of the on-disk copy protection.
I really hope you can find a working copy of this game or get your copy working. I hate to see old games die from obscurity.

Seeing stuff about math games we used to play as kids makes me want to find one game I used to play over 20 years ago on Windows 95.
I don't remember the name, but it was math-oriented. It was set in some sort of purple factory, one of the main characters was a super-smart gorilla by what I can recall. There were different games in the factory, but I kept getting stuck on one where you'd have to count the number of cubes in a bigger cube, or the number of chocolate squares in a bar of chocolate.
Can anyone help me? A friend suggested Math Factory 2000, but I can't find anything about that game.

wow man i remember this. you know all those childhood memories that you suppress for one reason or another? yeah, this was a trigger. I remember getting a C- in math one time, and this was the only game i was allowed to play until i brought it up to at least a B. As you probably have guessed, this was a time before internet, hell even -progress reports-. We got a report card once every nine weeks. yep, nine weeks. it was hell, but it was effective. I'm not sure what ever happened to it. it was probably just misplaced. maliciously.

Hey! The chick-fil-a logo reminded me of something that they did back in the day. I remember as a kid, I would go to chick fil a and get the kids meal and with the kids meal would come some educational type game or booklet or what have you. Maybe this game was included in those meals at some point in time. Maybe try contacting chick fil a about it and see if they have any records or anything of the game being given out with the meals.

I actually didn't hear about Chick-Fil-A till really the last several years since I'm not from the south and well I only had it once when I was in Atlanta actually about five years ago. Anyway it's funny to me to see it advertised in a early 90s pc game about baseball and teaching math. I'm not sure if I like this game better than Math Grand Prix or not. I have that game for the Atari.

I was homeschooled too! We also went to book fairs every year. It helped my dad worked in IT for a public school so he brought home new games for me every once in a while. Ah, good memories, waking up in the morning and getting school done by like 1 p. m. and spending the rest of the afternoon playing edutainment games: )

Tried to do some searching and found your old Vogons post back in 2012, trying to track this down for over four years is some serious dedication!
Very curious if you can open up the corrupt file in a hex editing program and try to compare it to another file from the disk and try to 'fix' the corrupted portions by hand.

This reminds me of a math game I played at my school.
Around 22 years ago I played a math based game that would time how fast you would complete the math problems.
It used still images of an F1 car that would go along a track as you answered the math problems.
I cannot locate the game today and forgot the name.
