okay, so i'm going to sound pretty vague, but there's this game thats been bugging me for ages because i can't remember what it is.

it was set in space, or something, because the character you played as rode on a floating motorbike type thing and there was a 'space palace'... everything was a purplish tinge, and the background was a starry night sky. i know it was an educational game, and it might've been one that related to treasure cove or treasure mountain, but maybe not. it was out in the 90's for sure, because i remember playing it when i was a kid.

also, will mixed-up mother goose deluxe ever be available to download?

EDIT:
I forgot to put the other game.

the other one was based on a children's book, or series of books, but it's really hard to remember because it was a while ago...
you played as an animal, and there was a part where your parents wanted you to go to bed?

Don't recognize the game from your description, I'm afraid. From what you say, I take it it had CGA graphics, right?

As for Mixed-Up Mother Goose Deluxe, it has been published in 1995 by Sierra, and thus is subject to 15 year ESA protection period.
So yes, it will be available... in January 2011. :hysterical:

As matters stand Mixed-Up Mother Goose Deluxe will be on Abandonia 2011 at the earliest because it is a Sierra title and so has a 15-year-protection.

I'm a lamer.

Well i found some more info about it

here (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1563/is_n10_v12/ai_16235993/pg_14)
Treasure Galaxy! The fourth, latest, and perhaps best of the superb Treasure series, this program embeds math puzzles in an outer-space setting as children drive a space scotter in search of hidden crystals. Covering concepts such as measurement, fractions, number patterns, analogies, and the calendar, it uses clear graphics and sounds along with an enjoyable theme to engage children ($59.95; The Learning Company, [800] 852-2255; ages 5-9; DOS, disk).[/b]

And heres one with the minimum system requirements.
Link (http://support.riverdeep.net/fix.asp?isid=10531&prog=1294818517)
Windows®

* 286/25 or faster
* 4 MB RAM
* 1 MB free HD space
* 256-SVGA display or 16-color VGA
* DOS 5.0 or later
* Windows® 3.1 or later
* 2x CD-ROM drive (for CD version)
* Windows®-compatible sound card
* Mouse[/b]

Its interesting about it being the last in the series, the only reason i have a copy is because i was home-schooled and my parents were softdisk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softdisk) addicts back in the day.
