Cannot for the life of me remember...

...the name of this old computer game I used to play.

You played a detective in a school, maybe elementary maybe otherwise, it was in black and white, and the villain was a robot. You could beat the game in multiple ways and each different ending had a different robot as the boss.

The more times you beat it, the larger the trophy you had at the end.

One thing I remember was that you could go up to the water fountains and drink from them.

Does ANYONE else remember this game?

That's good. That's a good one.

    This sounds like Super Solvers - Midnight Rescue.

    Man I played a ton of these games on my Commodore 64. And by a ton I think maybe two of them.

    This is an awesome protagonist.

    Midnight Rescue is like the best survival-horror game ever made.

    Was this a math game? Because I played a game remarkably similar to the one you're talking about with the same protagonist, and it was a math game with some shooting. Was fun, but I didn't think that was the name.

    You are thinking of Super Solvers Outnumbered:

    Yeah, Outnumbered. That's what it was, thanks. Is edutainment still as good as it was when I was a kid? I'd be surprised.

    They used to let us play this game in elementary school during computer class. Heck, after the typing lesson, it was all educational games. Computer class ruled.

    There was another edutainment adventure game I remember playing in school. You explored a haunted mansion filled with friendly ghosts, picking up items, looking for one ghost in particular. The game ended when you used a key on a windup clown doll to open a secret door - the whole class cheered when we solved it.

    What was the one where you were climbing up a mountain and you had to use math? I remember snowballs as being rather prominent.

    I just Installed Treasure Mountain on my PC.

    And people laughed at me for insisting on having a floppy drive...



    edit: OH GOD! My old save file is still on this disc. I had two stars (my little brother old had one)

    I remember Gizmos & Gadgets; at one point you had to go around collecting different parts, then choose the best parts to make a model race car to race against the bad guys. If you got the good gears and wheels and such, you won.
