Your Thoughts About Educational Video Games For Child & Teens

I think  that education games could really benefit some of our children today since schools seem to be not active as they were before COVID 19

Even though I had other games growing up sometimes I would play educational video games. The kind that were my favorite were were 2 Vtech Laptops one had a like a Gameboy color-like screen. and the older, red one had an original Gameboy like screen, they were both like simple computers and I even remember one even having a phone jack for online play,  this was back in the early 1990's. They had games built into them and the older one I think even had a cartridge slot, Not all the games were educational games in both of these laptops.

I learned how to spell and read from them, and do simple math. each game had 6 levels of difficulty. but I only played them when I was vary young.

 now I don't bother but I will admit I feel like I want to play those Vtech laptops again, since the ones I had were not kiddy like, they even had a 2 player option for couch coop or competition. and they were also meant for older kids as well. they were powered by huge batteries, and lasted a long time too.

One of them had red, and white plastic. And the other was black and white plastic, I can't find any photo on the internet for them but I'd show them to you if I could.

 here is the 1st one I had that was red and white





Here is my 2nd toy I got when I was older only I had the black and white plastic on the outside not red white and blue

This was quite possibly the worst game on the SNES.

When you say educational games, I say let the kiddos play Assassin's Creed. Plenty to learn there!

Educational games are for nerds!  Which I was one, so it made sense, heh.  I grew up playing a few educational games as a kid at school, like in 4th grade, I remember playing "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" and really loving that game and probably a few others.  Also in the 90's I played Math Blaster and stuff like that.  I remember checking out Mario is Missing, but definitely didn't like it.  I can't remember any other "educational" games I played outside of school, but I'm probably just spacing on them as I'm sure I played one or two others.
