Hi guys, I have a quest for you and maybe you can help me.
I really, really want to know what the name of one of my favourite childhood pc games was.
I remember that it basically was 2D and you were a bricklayer or at least you looked a little bit like bob the builder. I think you could choose between 2 characters. One would build blue walls and the other one would build green ones. The goal during the levels was to build wall panels in a building with multiple floors (like 2D but you could go to the etage below you and stuff. You played against an opponent that built red panels. After a certain time you had to have more walls in your colour. One trick was to build a blue panel on the left and one on the right and all the panels in the middle would become blue, too. I remember after a few stages a guy (maybe a crazy Dr. or something) began to drive on a motorbike from left to right and from right to left and tried to run you over to prevent you from building your panels.
Sounds like a crappy game and is a poor describtion but maybe some of you know the name.

Hey! So I'm a 1996 baby, but I'm not from the US - pcs only got really big in my country around the early 2000s. I remember that I actually played this or something very similar to this for my first grade informatics class, like in 2002! Tbh that was in hindsight pretty educational. I mean, I know kids now adays are born phone in hand, but it was a really fun way to encourage creativity and reading/writing skills.
Ps: I might add I was very stereotypical and 6 year old me and my best friend wrote a story about pink princesses and puppies. #noregrets -

When I was like 6 and we got our first PC along with Doom, Duke3D, ROTT, GTA1 and all the good shit, my mom had a -responsible parent period- where she banned me from playing all the games except educational titles like this one. As if that would have even mattered when you had already seen almost everything these games had to offer. Well no problem, I played the shit out of this for awhile until the ban was forgotten, LOL.

I remember playing this in the computer lab in kindergarten or first grade, weird to think about the brief moment in time where PCs were new enough and edutainment was booming and schools tried out integrating this stuff into curriculums organically instead of the locked down networks/machines and curated kid-focused tablets and so on that we have now.

I remember owning this as a kid. My parents bought it for me to practice my writing along with all the english tutors and writing courses I was signed up for. The most disturbing/memorable thing about this was there was a make-believe character I think called doorknob head. if you have this software and you look into this you've been warned.

Ah, _Storybook Weaver_. this shit was my childhood! :D
5: 03 Also, how is it that the mole in this software looks infinitely more mole-like than the mole from _Strawinsky and the Mysterious House_?
6: 08 I'm fairly certain you can at least paste images into _Storybook Weaver_. Even the -how to use- guide points that out.

We used My Own Stories when I was in elementary school. I remember all the fantasy clip art. In fact, I was so enamored of making beautiful pictures and backgrounds that I never did get around to writing a story like the other kids. I always wondered what program it was and now you've solved the mystery for me!

I remember endlessly playing with the 3D Movie Maker (1995) software that came with our computer back in the day. It was a kids' toy, but it had all kinds of 3D animations, and you could record your own dialog with a microphone. We made huge ten-minute long productions that took three days to animate.

The only time that TTS thing sounded natural was the very last bit -the end? - But I also spent hours and hours with various TTS and STT programs back in those days. all of them were horrible, every single one. These days though some of TTS stuff is pretty good and STT can be scarily good at times.

I remember I used to write stories on Storybook Weaver, back when I started writing books when I was eleven. Funny thing is, I haven't been on that game in a long time; I still have a few old stories from it. I'm glad you did a video about it, giving me the nostalgia on my first written stories.
