There’s two edutainment games I remember playing on school PCs back in the early 2000s (either 2000 or 2001) and I’ve found nothing about them since. Asking about them on the TOMT and TOMJ subreddits got me nowhere.
One was set in a castle and had an intro where the main character crosses a moat. I remember it for a particular minigame where you operate a catapult and have to launch cabbages at people hiding in barrels, following instructions like “90 degrees clockwise”, “125 degrees anticlockwise”, etc. If you successfully hit all 8 targets without fail, the victory message was “You cabbage head!”
The other was more like a loose collection of minigames and several different CD collections were released. I used to own one that I found in a supermarket bargain bin. The minigame I remember on this collection involved moving a pin to pop balloons. The background music was some kind of weirdly upbeat jazz song.
I was going to say, I don’t remember a Microsoft Ants but I sure as hell remember SimAnts.
I never figured out if bringing a piece of food next to an egg made it hatch faster but omg as I’m typing this right now I realize that makes absolutely no sense. Why the hell would an egg hatch faster if it has no mouth. Wtf was I thinking as a kid, loool.
Not smooth but Guild Wars 2 can run on those specs, obviously on very low settings.
Path of Exile should work also. These specs af not that bad. Most 10+ year old games should run easily. I would just check steam for older F2P games, there are a lot more. I think swtor and eso should run also. Those had F2P tiers.
It’s… an old game. Maybe it ran on DOS, but it sure was Windows 95 era.
It was a game for kids where you had to spell words. It took place in Africa I believe, because I remember vividly that there were hippos. You had to solve puzzles before spelling words.
I might be misremembering the following : you played as a boy with a loincloth. When you succeeded in solving a puzzle he rowed upstream on a raft. I think I remember a man with a mask, might have been the kid himself.
That’s about everything I remember about this. If someone knows anything…
