I asked my mom to order Zoombinis Island Odyssey from a Scholastic catalog somewhere within those years, and yet another one of my favorites made it into our household. Zoombinis has many titles, and I played a variety of them between third and fifth grade.
Of course, they were almost all educational games, but some of them were pretty fun, with Odyssey being one of those fun ones. On Fridays in the Computer Special class, you could play games. I’ll talk about both, and I’m going to start with one of my personal favorites: Zoombinis Island Odyssey.īack in the day, my elementary school had classes called “Specials” and you went to different Specials a couple of times a week. Some have been given to the CD-ROM Fossil Library, but some, whether due to a lack of particular value or me being too nostalgic to give them up, are still in a black CD case at home. “Games from my Childhood Library” is a series I’ll be doing where I go through the CD-ROM games that I played/owned when I was growing up.
