Remember a game thread

[Binerexis]

I don't know about you guys but I keep half-remembering games that I played years ago and really want to play them again but there's one problem; I never remember what the damn thing is called. This is what this thread is for. Post a description of a game with as much detail as you can remember and/or try to help other people looking for a game title.

To start this off, I remember a game where you worked as a stock broker. You could go and trade in the market but there was a load of other stuff going on in your office too including a media crew to increase/decrease a company's value. The only other thing I can remember is that I think there was a guy with a blue suit on the cover.

There was this one computer game in my fourth grade class, for learning math and stuff. it had monkeys and all other sorts of awesome. think jumpstart for kids crossed with awesomeness. me and all of my friends that i still know from fourth grade have worked painstakingly to figure it out. no such luck.

That sounds like Reader Rabbit to me. Ring any bells?

EDIT: Damn, kind of ninja'd. There are no Gargoyles in Reader Rabbit.

No I'm not talking about Reader Rabbit. This was another game description.

Me and you posted within seconds of each other, that's why I quickly edited my post so that it didn't look like my 'Reader Rabbit' response was a response to your 'Gargoyles flying around and kicking ass' description.

The game you described sounds like Demon's Crest.

Huzzah for a happy find!


Does no one else need help remembering a game?

it wasn't reader rabbit.
my little sisters have most of those and i've never seen that game since fourth grade.
if we had it, i'd be playing it instead of posting on the escapist.

i really can't remember anything about it besides the monkeys though.

It's sad but I tend not to remember games unless something reminds me of them. Ohh wait there was this one game for the N64, it was a monster truck racing game but also had a king of the hill aspect to it for multiplayer, the only reason I remember it was there was a creepy cheatcode "JIMM" (I can't believe I remember it) that caused every pixel on the map to turn into a black and white photo of the lead designer's face. Creeped me out something fierce when I was a kid.

I had this one game when I was very young.

It involved a lion, blue rabbit and a green parrot. There was a story. They were sailing on a ship to win a boat race but got caught in a storm and stranded on an island. You then proceed to solve a lot of mathmatical equasions to get a piece of a new boat. Some of the games were, drawing a shape onto a canvas, slicing a pizza into the correct fractions and more. You then make the boat and finish the race. (1st place, I was so happy)

The characters had names. If I remember them I will post them but at the moment it wont come to me.

It might be wrong for you but you just helped me a bunch. Reader Rabit Math age 6-9. Damn the nostalga. I have to find it and play it again for ol' times sake. I do remember a lot of the games in reader rabbit involving giving monkies the correct amount of bananas to eat. I was going to say that but then I guess not. Anyway thanks.

Was it part of the JumpStart [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JumpStart] series? I had the "Fifth Grade Adventures" game, and I have no idea what happened to the CD for it.
