Wow, no love for the broke gamer? This collection of games were great for killing time and chasing high scores, and even better at having my noggin' fire on all cylinders. Just from looking at the screenshots I remember each game's soundtrack and sound effects and it puts me right back on our family computer in the living room trying to make it further than the previous session! This was my favorite step up from Mega Math Blaster on the PC. Even though they were puzzle games and kept me thinking just as hard, I didn't put them in the same category at that time as my strictly "learning" game. I need this in my life again.
I have been trying to remember the name of Jewel Chase for a very long time. If this game pack doesn't come to GoG, at least it gave me that as I've rediscovered it here.
Fond memories of all the games here, even if Jewel Chase is the one that my brain held on to. The screenshots are bringing back memories I didn't know I still had.
This was one of the first CD ROM games I ever got my hands on as a kid. The first thing I really remember playing with my parents. This game helped me understand the workings of a computer.
Mom's favorite was the rope game Fringer. Dad's was the the jewel game Finty Flush...mine bounced between Color Collision and Jewel Chase and both my brother and sister enjoyed Mixed Genetics and Rat Poker. We all loved this collection. Crazy seeing it again nearly 3 decades later
Id love to see this make it into the archives, this is about as deep a cut as Redline Racer with the families first Gateway Computer.
