felixthekid - Educational titles
I dumped a bunch of 3.5" original disks today that I got from a former reading clinic for children. Mostly DOS but a few early Windows mixed in. I still have 20 or so to go. I also have a handful of ISOs that I have not listed here.
I realize these titles are unlikely to excite many of you, but they have value as PC history and I could not let them go into the trash. Here is what I have transferred so far in case anyone is interested: A+ Computer Parenting (1992)(American Education Corp).zip A+ English Grammar II (1992)(American Education Corp)(Disk 1 of 2).zip A+ English Grammar II (1992)(American Education Corp)(Disk 2 of 2).zip Addition and Subtraction v2.0 (1992)(Dinosoft).zip Algebra Made Easy vol 1 and 2 (1991)(Britannica Software).zip Alphabet Blocks v2.0 (1992)(Sierra)(Disk 1 of 3).zip Alphabet Blocks v2.0 (1992)(Sierra)(Disk 2 of 3).zip Alphabet Blocks v2.0 (1992)(Sierra)(Disk 3 of 3).zip Amazon Trail, The v1.0 (1993)(MECC)(Disk 1 of 3).zip Amazon Trail, The v1.0 (1993)(MECC)(Disk 2 of 3).zip Amazon Trail, The v1.0 (1993)(MECC)(Disk 3 of 3).zip Bailey's Book House (1993)(Edmark)(Disk 1 of 3).zip Bailey's Book House (1993)(Edmark)(Disk 2 of 3).zip Bailey's Book House (1993)(Edmark)(Disk 3 of 3).zip Beauty and the Beast (1991)(Disney).zip Cliffs Studyware Biology v4.5 (1994)(Cliffs Notes).zip Cliffs Studyware Chemistry v4.5 (1993)(Cliffs Notes).zip Clock Works (1992)(MECC).zip Coin Changer, The (1991)(Heartsoft).zip Computer Works (1993)(Software Marketing Corp)(Disk 1 of 2).zip Computer Works (1993)(Software Marketing Corp)(Disk 2 of 2).zip Creative Writer (1993)(Microsoft)(Disk 1 of 3).zip Creative Writer (1993)(Microsoft)(Disk 2 of 3).zip Creative Writer (1993)(Microsoft)(Disk 3 of 3).zip Dos Tutor (1990)(Software Toolworks).zip Evelyn Wood Dynamics Reader (1988)(TIMEWORKS).zip Expert Common Knowledge (1992)(Expert Software).zip Expert Maps (1991)(Expert Software).zip FormWrox with Fill and File v2.56 (1991)(FormWorx Corp).zip Fun School Learning Adventures with Sammy Spy v1.0 (1993)(Europress Software).zip Fun School Learning Adventures with Teddy Bear v1.0 (1993)(Europress Software).zip Headline Harry and the Great Paper Race (1991)(Davidson(Disk 1 of 4).zip Headline Harry and the Great Paper Race (1991)(Davidson(Disk 2 of 4).zip Headline Harry and the Great Paper Race (1991)(Davidson(Disk 3 of 4).zip Headline Harry and the Great Paper Race (1991)(Davidson(Disk 4 of 4).zip ImagiNation Network, The - Basic Version 2.2 (1993)(Imagination Network)[sn 00502].zip Issac Asimov Science Adventure (1992)(Knowledge Adventure, Inc)(Disk 1 of 10).zip Issac Asimov Science Adventure (1992)(Knowledge Adventure, Inc)(Disk 10 of 10).zip Issac Asimov Science Adventure (1992)(Knowledge Adventure, Inc)(Disk 2 of 10).zip Issac Asimov Science Adventure (1992)(Knowledge Adventure, Inc)(Disk 3 of 10).zip Issac Asimov Science Adventure (1992)(Knowledge Adventure, Inc)(Disk 4 of 10).zip Issac Asimov Science Adventure (1992)(Knowledge Adventure, Inc)(Disk 5 of 10).zip Issac Asimov Science Adventure (1992)(Knowledge Adventure, Inc)(Disk 6 of 10).zip Issac Asimov Science Adventure (1992)(Knowledge Adventure, Inc)(Disk 7 of 10).zip Issac Asimov Science Adventure (1992)(Knowledge Adventure, Inc)(Disk 8 of 10).zip Issac Asimov Science Adventure (1992)(Knowledge Adventure, Inc)(Disk 9 of 10).zip Kid Desk Family Edition v1.1 (1993)(Edmark)(Disk 1 of 2).zip Kid Desk Family Edition v1.1 (1993)(Edmark)(Disk 2 of 2).zip Kid Keys v1.0 (19xx)(Davidson)(Disk 1 of 2).zip Kid Keys v1.0 (19xx)(Davidson)(Disk 2 of 2).zip Kid Pictures (1992)(Creative Pursuits)(Disk 1 of 2).zip Kid Pictures (1992)(Creative Pursuits)(Disk 2 of 2).zip Kid Pix (1991)(Broderbund)(Disk 1 of 3).zip Kid Pix (1991)(Broderbund)(Disk 2 of 3).zip Kid Pix (1991)(Broderbund)(Disk 3 of 3).zip Kid Works 2 (19xx)(Davidson)(Disk 1 of 5).zip Kid Works 2 (19xx)(Davidson)(Disk 2 of 5).zip Kid Works 2 (19xx)(Davidson)(Disk 3 of 5).zip Kid Works 2 (19xx)(Davidson)(Disk 4 of 5).zip Kid Works 2 (19xx)(Davidson)(Disk 5 of 5).zip Kid's Zoo - A Baby Animal Adventure (1994)(Knowledge Adventure)(Disk 1 of 5).zip Kid's Zoo - A Baby Animal Adventure (1994)(Knowledge Adventure)(Disk 2 of 5).zip Kid's Zoo - A Baby Animal Adventure (1994)(Knowledge Adventure)(Disk 3 of 5).zip Kid's Zoo - A Baby Animal Adventure (1994)(Knowledge Adventure)(Disk 4 of 5).zip Kid's Zoo - A Baby Animal Adventure (1994)(Knowledge Adventure)(Disk 5 of 5).zip Logic Master (1990)(Unicorn Software).zip Mario Teaches Typing (1992)(Interplay)(Disk 1 of 2).zip Mario Teaches Typing (1992)(Interplay)(Disk 2 of 2).zip Mario's Early Years - Fun With Letters (199x)(Software Toolworks)(Disk 1 of 4).zip Mario's Early Years - Fun With Letters (199x)(Software Toolworks)(Disk 2 of 4).zip Mario's Early Years - Fun With Letters (199x)(Software Toolworks)(Disk 3 of 4).zip Mario's Early Years - Fun With Letters (199x)(Software Toolworks)(Disk 4 of 4).zip Mario's Early Years!

This is definitely the place for archiving obscure and forgotten stuff :)
I hope we get all these for the site, some of them look like fun for review ^_^ |
That's awesome.
I also have a few of 3.5" disks you have. Can you send them by PM please? |
This is awesome. Something like this happens rarely but it's like gift from Elder PC Gods... or from you simply :)
What do you mean by "dumping"? Simply zipped contents of each floppy or created floppy image in some format? And if those floppies are original floppies, with publishers stickers and everything, that's even more awesome - meaning that there is possibility to get scans of those floppies as well. Since there are lot of titles and we can't check everything quickly, best upload them all and we'll sort them out later. I'm sending you PM right away. |

I also have 28lbs of manuals that came with these. |

Also, I count two that are on site, but it'll be nice to have the disk images. Mystery at the Museums and Museum Madness. Oh wait, and Sim Life too. |
I'd love to review the Issac Asimov Science Adventure. I :heart: Isaac Asimov :smile2:
And for some reason, Snapdragon looks interesting. |
Hi Felix, did you try uploading your games following Marko's help? I can't find any files from you. The webmaster changed some settings so I could believe that you may have found trouble. If so let me know and I can help you upload

Yup, confirming I received dropbox link, but haven't uploaded anything to FTP myself. Felix, is it ok to share it with Japo and arete? And maybe Smiling Spectre? Just to speed things up.
My apologies for being so inactive. |
Well, I can only upload files myself. :) Unfortunately, I haven't legal authorities to do anything with this files.
|
I can't wait to review some of these. They look adorable :blush:

Would you p.m. me the dropbox linky please? I'll ask my bf if he'll help me get the games working in dosbox

Fifth has sent me Isaac Asimov's Science Adventure. It's 6.8 megs. It's also quite rare. Nowhere else on the web has it. Awesome! I'm not sure which game to do after that...
But in general, I'm happy :OK: |
OK, tomorrow I have a meeting and afterwreds tavern and beer. Hopefully after that I can start uploading these titles.
Sorry again. I don't know why I spend so much time in RL |
:beer:
I think it would be best to upload the prepared archives to the server first. What do you guys think? I'll upload Isaac Snazzymov's Science Adventure to my folder. EDIT: whenever I try to access the incoming folder, it tells me the operation timed out. :dislike: |
Some FTP settings are changed. I'll send you a new PM. The password/user are still the same tho...
Question: what program are you using for FTP? Filezilla? Windows? WinSCP? ...? Short story, you just have to change the "port" from the default standard 21 to 3530 |
Yeah, sorry. I didn't see this, Japo. I am trying to use Windows, because I couldn't get filezilla to work. I keep getting a server timed out message.
|
I am using Total Commander. Swiss-knife tool for file manipulations. Recommended.
|
I second totalcmd choice. Damn practical.
BTW, Dosbox link expired. I contacted felix to check that, so I can start uploading. |
You mean Dropbox? There are also some nice ISOs in the ISO folder, but some are Disney, unfortunately.
|
yeah Dropbox :smile2: silly me
You mean it works? what da heck? |
I haven't been in there for about a week, so I dunno. I must ask fifth to do some more game archives for me. And I must put together a review for this Isaac Asimov non-game.
|
I'm testing and verifying a lot of dumped disk image.
A few of disk image seems to be modified or missing disks. (Missed) 1) Mario's Early Years - Fun With Letters (199x)(Software Toolworks) ****Disk 5 is missing. 2) Nigel's World (1991)(Lawerence Productions) ****Disk 1 is missing |
"Filezilla requires at least Windows Vista to run". I hate Vista! It's coding poison!!!! :sick:
|
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jvysilpq8...mzKWoYuaa?dl=0
All done. I tried Total Commander but couldn't find how to change the port number. It tried to connect on the default port and timed out. I screamed with rage and turned to dropbox, which I haven't used in years. :mhh: EDIT: I think I'll do Kid's Zoo - A Baby Animal Adventure next. We can do a whole Educational Games series!!!! ^_^ |
In TC it's:
Net - FTP connect - New Connection - and put into field "Hostname (:port)" value files.abandonia.com:3530. Surprize! ;) |
Thanks :)
Fifth told me too. I was putting brackets around the port. Sigh. Silly me. EDIT: Uploaded successfully!! :hypno2: EDIT 2: :poke:marko |
sorry arete, swamped till friday
Lemme get this right: somebody (5th or spectre) has downloaded all these games that felix has posted? |
I hope so, cos that dropbox link is gone :(
I don't think fifth downloaded anything except the game I've already reviewed. I sent a pm to Felix. Hoping to get a reply. |
I did too days ago.
Damn, I guess it's time to hate myself a bit. |
Oops.
I didn't need this exact games, so I didn't download anything, because I was totally sure that at least three other people manage the question. Wrong, it seems. :/ |
Do anyone here have these mentioned titles in the first post somewhere available for download? E.g. Dropbox folder? Over twenty years ago I also had some of these on floppy disks, but they are all gone and I would like to get these games back again.
|
Sorry, the Dropbox folder disappeared the same week we were given the link, and all efforts to contact the poster were fruitless... I was going to review most of them, too. It was so frustrating :(
