Even as an adult, the yeti is still probably the most frightening thing ever.

When attempting to associate “computer games I played in my youth” with specific games, the first thing that comes to mind is Oregon Trail. The second thing that comes to mind is Ski Free. Damn, that yeti was fast!

I remember this was usually followed by: “Welcome!” and “You’ve got mail!”.

(I have no idea why that clip is ten minutes long. I would skim it if I were you…)

Ah, Number Munchers — one of the original math games. I’m still pretty good at basic mathematical functions, and I owe it all to you, Number Munchers. Hooray!

Though Number Munchers is an epic win in its own right, does anyone else think Math Blaster is just as worthy of the title? And I’m talking the DOS version of Math Blaster where you did a subtraction problem and got to shoot aliens, not garbage.

I know a lot of people that considers this old program a win. One could defragment a drive while looking all those colored blockies, and never get bored.

Actually, it seems pretty boring to me, but the colored blocks sure do make me long for the days when I owned a PC. Kind of.

Ah yes, the After Dark screensavers. I remember when people used to pay for screensavers, but I guess if you’re putting down cash for flying toasters, it’s money well spent.

Now, you can download a similar version for free — on Macs and PCs. When the computer goes to sleep, you go nostalgic.
