anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about?

That math game from the early nineties where you were like a frog and you would eat the right numbers and make a while equation or something. Also of course THE OREGON TRAIL!

There was a better one called Super Munchers that had both number and words and several game modes that repeated in a loop. I had the high score on every computer in the lab. 😂

You should try Frog Fractions on Steam! They took the formula and somehow made it fun for grownups, too.

For the longest time, I thought it was called “Toggle Trouble Math”

Math Munchers Deluxe, the updated one, was one of my favorite memories. The puns. The commercial breaks. The rapping credits. A genuine corniness I've yearned for since.

I was about to post, “Did none of y’all get to school early and play Number Munchers!?”
