Noobz0r and Loonerty I hope you two ****heads have been keeping up with Glenridge ahead of Episode 3 tonight.

 

[Loonerty]

Nah mate. These games:

Those were definitely early primary school. The others were the years 4-6 region.

When I went to school we used a pen and paper

Yeah but I was a good student who finished his work early and got to play on the computers.

Those poor SimCity civilians had no idea of the disasters heading their way when I finished my maths.

I am older than you so the timeline matches up haha. I've never heard of the ones you mentioned.

And I loved, and still love, SimCity!!

When we finished our work we got more work... You lucky campaigner..

I remember Year 8 Maths, I would just finish a section of the textbook that I had been set privately and then just play Cool Maths Games for half the lesson.

This was my first computer.

 

[ChappyUK]

Type quick was fun.

 

[Drunkgoliath]

It wasn't until secondary school where they had PCs that could handle the behemoth programming of windows 95 or 98 that some real games were attainable.
They gave every student an allocated share of storage on the server, so we installed quake and played that every day. If the teachers knew about Alt+Tab we were in trouble, but they really weren't bright

BEST GAME!!!!! The part where she is on the tiger / Great Wall of China was my favourite.

 

[por_please_ya]

Type quick was fun.

This one? http://www.typequick.com.au/products/typequick-for-students

I'm pretty sure this is the one that I learnt to touch-type with, when I was 11. I LOVED it!

 

[Drunkgoliath]

I'm the reason you had to go to school the next suburb over

Probably good move. Access to a tram line, shops, fast food etc. Terrible for a student.

My school was lucky to have a bus line near it.

 

[Drunkgoliath]

So looks like I'm listening to Game OST's all week now.

 

[SSwans2011]

Chappyuk still looking for the full version of Kankyo Ongaku? Don't have time to upload it anywhere now, but I can hook you up tonight if so.

Me too. Even though now my touch type technique is entirely different. At a guess I used it in year 4 or so, so at 10.

 

[MWPP]

I first to learnt to touch type by playing Mavis Beacon
We had typequick at school too though but that was a little later on.

Yeah, we used Mavis Beacon first, but Typequick really launched my typing skills

I actually considered nominating music from Mavis Beacon.... but when I youtubed, I was reminded of how bad it is.
It has been ages since we played Typeracer
Reminds me of the typing thread from a while ago

 

[NinjaSwan]

In primary school we used to all play this.

I used to play that too . Memories. You're a fair bit younger than me though so I'm surprised that it was still around for you.

It and Type quick are the only games I can remember that were installed on all the school computers, I didn't realise how old it was til I looked it up just then.
