Imagine this as basically a digital tour through museum-like exhibits. There are also learning stations with mini-games. Not sure how one could pay attention though. Everything is distractingly ugly. So if I hit three I would have to hit the number three, or objects gathered together in counts of three.

If you get it wrong, you get a check against you. The platforming is stiff and the backgrounds are very uninspired. I learned it from D. Gang peddlers are out to offer illegal stuff to Wally Bear and his friends. Your mission is to fight them off. It actually sends the wrong message because of how monotonous it is. Maybe doing some illegal substances would help ease the pain of playing. Mario's Time Machine? Well, hold your horses because this is not the time traveling Mario platformer you think and or hope it is.

Instead it plays very similarly to Mario is Missing. Mario can plug in important dates into a time machine to then be warped to said period to learn about history.

It feels just as broken and fan-made as Mario is Missing. No, my odd possum friend, you are not. Saving the rainforest was all the rage in the 90s so the idea of a furry superhero fighting robots who are trying to destroy the environment sounds weird, but fun in an over the top way. Gameplay wise it tries to be like Sonic the Hedgehog only with a terrible frame rate. It is literally nauseating to play. Dinosaur games came out in droves in the 90s so of course there was going to be an educational title, or two in there.

So the premise is you have to platform through a polluted city, gathering inhalers to keep Bronkie alive. At the end of each stage, you get a little factoid about bronchitis. I learned something, I'm just not exactly sure what. There were several spinoffs I can talk about in a 90s connotation though. The Amazon Trail took explorers along the Amazon River, duh.

While there was some education behind it, the game felt more of a sim. It was less fun due to the more photo-realistic graphics digitized into the game. It was less kitschy and random. If you thought Bronkie the Bronchiasaurus was upsetting, wait till you hear about Packy and Marlon. They have to live with it. Used with permission. Is the Game Mathematical? The main mathematical topics in Thinkin' Things 3 are logical reasoning, sorting and classifying, geometry, and ideas found in computer programming.

Two puzzles -- Let's Make a Trade and Fribble Place -- embed these topics easily into fantasy settings with amusing characters and a hint of a story. Let's Make a Trade requires you to figure out a series of trades that will change several items e.

This requires a good deal of planning ahead, especially at the more advanced levels. Fribble Place is a game of attributes; you have to arrange a set of Fribbles -- creatures with different hats, glasses, and bodies -- in an array of rooms so they follow a set of rules like, "No one on the first floor wears glasses.

In both cases, the easiest levels are quite accessible, so even the beginner will find something interesting to think about. The "free explore" choices are different in the way they present content. The most clearly mathematical is the Half Time activity , where you get to put together a halftime show, complete with marching band, cheerleaders, and designs on the field. To do this, you use elementary programming, e. HalfTime and the other construction activities also contain relatively complex examples to inspire players to go beyond a simple marching band.

Successfully programming a complex show can be a challenging -- and satisfying -- experience that stretches players' ability to plan and keep track of complicated series of events.

Photo Twister is more playful and less explicitly educational.
