A retrospective on the 1995 kid's activity program from Houghton Mifflin Interactive. Click, drag, and drop all kinds of colorful creature parts to go about monster-making with animated awesomeness! Neat!

When I was a kid my friend had a game where you could make monsters. Literally the ONLY thing I remember about it was one of the monsters you could make was a one eyed lobster named either Cyclobster or Cyclopster, and I have spent about 20 years trying to remember what it was and find it. I thought maybe this was it, but I'm not sure if it was. However, maybe another game in this series is the game I seek. Either way, thank you LGR. You've put me closer to my goal than ever before.

I remember having some software thing that let me choose the background and objects. It was packaged with a Dell that also came with POD and Encarta Encyclopedia, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. But I remember spending a few hours trying to make shapes with the objects and pretending they would fight each other.
Is there a list somewhere for all the packaged software for those kind of things that I can explore my past again?

What was that program called from the 90s that was a like a kids version of power-point? your presentation was refereed to stacks and the default when saving was -my stack- It had Addy the dog in it. For years I have been trying to work out what the name of it was.
This video reminds me a lot of it, very similar style.

Hey clint, could you do an episode on software registration? I don't understand why it was so pushed back in the day, like here with these registration cards. Why did companies need this? Was there any benefit for the user for registering their software? What percentage of people actually bothered to register?

Man, what a nostalgia trip this was for me! When my parents purchased a Gateway computer it came with one of those cow skinned CD-ROM binders and this was one of the games inside. I whiled away many an hour creating monsters and listening to that weird dialogue. Thanks for making this video!

This type of 90s entertainment thingy reminds me of an art program we'd use in school. It had tools that did things like have little guys on pogo sticks bounce over the canvas, drill holes or leave foot prints. It might've been KidPix but I feel it was something else.

i'm pretty sure this is the same game i got from the library when i was a little kid. i've tried a bunch of times to track it down on google over the years with no luck, but then tonight i'm scrolling through LGR's videos and this catches my eye by chance. crazy

I played this back then! I totally forgot the name of it, and hardly remember anything of it at all! By the way, does anyone recall a PC game about a bear in a treehouse 3 stories high with dozens of activities? I've been trying to remember that game for ages!

It has a very special graphical style to it that was very in vogue back in the mid 90s. The synth-guitar in the seewer scene is that famous Roland guitar patch, found in almost every Roland sound module from that era

I'm like 99% sure that the artists for that game also made one of the Operation PC games too. Some of the monster parts look identical to the weird monster things that would float around in the bodies during the game.
