Before PlayStations and smartphones, there were floppy disks and CRT monitors. Let’s rewind to the games that made computer class our favorite period.
Back in the 90s, computer games were pixelated, addictive, and unforgettable. No internet needed—just a mouse, a keyboard, and hours of fun.
You were the hero leaping over spikes and climbing walls—all in under 60 minutes. The smooth animation blew our young minds!
Racing with a side of street fighting? Yes, please! Every American kid dreamed of kicking someone off a motorcycle in this game.
Every 90s kid in the U.S. played this in school. You learned about westward expansion, wagon wheels… and how brutal dysentery was.
The godfather of shooters. Monster-slaying, metal music, and pure adrenaline. Even your dad probably played this one.
This was “educational” gaming done right. U.S. computer labs loved it—and we secretly did too.
Build power plants, schools, and stadiums—or just destroy it all with a UFO attack. Being in charge was never so fun.
Your first typing test was probably with this gem. WPM? Meh. We just wanted to see Mario run.
Humongous Entertainment ruled U.S. childhoods. These adventures were funny, clever, and way cooler than they had any right to be.
Released in ’97, Disney’s Hercules let us crush enemies with lightning, jump across Mount Olympus, and yell “I’m a hero!” with pride. Classic 90s magic!
If you remember dial-up tones and hitting “save” on a floppy disk, you’re one of us. Which 90s game do you miss most?
