It was very spooky and taught math, english, geography and other things probably.
Had sort of a depressing eastern european soundtrack i seemed to recall
Would have been a kids computer game on DOS or something
Very old school Map of the “world”, possibly a scroll. Lots of scary monsters, very Banjo Kazooie-ish in aesthetic
Edit: @Redacted@lemmy.zip found it, its Jumpstart the 4th Grade
Jump start 4th grade? The spooky one?
You magnificent bastard!!! Thats a bingo!!! Thank you thank you so fucking much!!!
I knew the moment I saw the fortune teller lady art
Listening to the damn thing as we speak. Pure nostalgia
Absolutely bitchin’ soundtrack, chill af! Very menacingly pleasant
I loved the game growing up, it was apparently too much for a lot of kids so they made a different non spooky jump start 4th grade.
Very happy to help!
Thanks again, might check out some of the other titles in the franchise to see what resonates.
What other titles did you own or play that are in a similar nostalgic vein?
The incredible machine Math blaster Pajama sam Star wars droid works The carmen san diego games The clue finder series Zoombinis
Def some im forgetting but thats a pretty solid list
