gently caress that image is burned into my brain. Maybe this thread can solve a lost media mystery: I vividly remember an educational program from around that same era. It was specifically about science, and it took the form of a "virtual science museum" that you could click around to go to each exhibit that if you selected was a little movie about some science or engineering topic. I remember one of the videos was a little rectangle dude with a hook(?) on top of its head "walking" down a road. It comes up to a river and there is a bridge, but the bridge needs to be raised up to connect the road. It tries pulling on the rope, going from green to yellow to red and then giving up after only raising it halfway. Then it tries a system with pulleys, and is able to raise the road with only moderate effort. It then crosses and walks off down the road, fade to black. The other detail I remember is there was a game component in the "basement": There were several rooms filled with weird scientist NPCs that just stood there. You talked to each one and they'd tell you a science "fact". You then guessed if what they said was true or false. If you got it wrong, I remember this audio clip that would play when the "actually here's why you're wrong" text box popped up. It was an annoying male voice, and he just said, "Oooooooooooooooo no," in a disappointed and possibly condescending tone. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of this program. But I think in the past year I went through the same thing with another educational program that was about ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome and finally found it, so maybe I'll get lucky again and someone else will remember this weird poo poo. That ancient Egypt game:  There's a site that has a lot of these types of games: https://www.old-games.com/download/10435/microsoft-ancient-lands EDIT: Unrelated, but here's another classic (from 1989) that I remember from the early 90s:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT7CN7eXV4k I played this game (JumpStart 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain) way past the intended age range. I think I probably played through like 30% of it while in Grade 3 and then forgot about it and then ended up 100%ing it in grades 5 and 6 after we switched from Mac to PC

I do a lot of ‘inadvisable for beginners’ tasks on skates as someone who broke 4k miles skated in 2023 this week but there are so vanishingly few situations where skitching can’t fatally backfire that I haven’t done it once.

There's a thing you can do in that game where you skitch and then let go of the bumper and you have enough residual speed that you can outrun other cars which seems not possible, to me
