I don't remember what games were part of the program but I remember the Sesame Street games that may or may not have been part of the program.







Edit: this was the program

Didn't happen at my school. I did get sent home with Colds, measles, chickenpox, etc though…

Topher Got sent home with a quill pen and a painting personally handed out by da Vinci. Then told to write a poem which was graded by Shakespeare. Some say, that poem is why Caligula went mad. This is all historically accurate.

Nah, I didn't grow up rich.

My parents bought me Treasure Cove from The Learning Company to get me to learn to read, and it totally worked. That game was awesome. Old educational games ftw.

Aww that's adorable.

U.S Gaf : Learn to read with Elmo and friends on a playstation.

U.K Gaf :

There was a game but it was on the BBC Micro, good luck carting one of them home.

Are you from sweden or something OP ? Did you go to the anders brevik school of having a playstation paid for by taxpayer money ?

Everywhere else you had to pool your birthday and christmas present with your brother's and promise to cut the grass and clean your room weekly for a year to even start thinking about having a playstation at home

Lol I come from the era where consoles at school didn't exist. In the uk it was computers at school & home not a lot had a console outside of those shitty 15 in one bar & ball games.

Most kids had c64/speccy ps1 was decades away.

Amusingly that game selection in the op makes me laugh, as when people push the narrative that Nintendo consoles are for little kids when they conveniently forget there was a absolute shitload of preschool type stuff on PlayStation consoles. Hell there's even a whole range called kidstation that came with a huge 4 button controller.

Hard to imagine Sony going for that.
It would have moved some extra consoles at the expense of permanently tainting the PlayStation as a kid's educational device.

We got to take an Egg home to not break over the weekend

Bit shit, really.

 

[Aldynes]

That reminded of this.

"I need that PC for school work" is the usual spin for a gaming PC, but a console gifted from the platform itself? Never heard of that.

What show is that?

 

[Killer8]

I prefer Jeffrey Epstein's idea for this:

Konichiwa.

 

[Dr Cowley]

What show is that?

It was called 'through the dragons eye'. It was shown during school as educational entertainment.



It was goofy shit but that villain was horrifying to a 6 year old

Edit: I added the text to the pic btw. It was bad but not that bad jesus

 

[onQ123]

That reminded of this.

I believe this was it

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

No. But I saw a server rack of PS3's at Raytheon years ago.

 

[RAIDEN1]

Never saw it, I was curious for the PS1 was this the pack in game?

 

[cash_longfellow]

What in the "rich white person" are you talking about, OP?

 

[UltimaKilo]

No clue what school OP went to
