I played math blaster, but it was a lot older than that. It sure didn't have cutscenes or voice acting.

Try ScummVM, worked on a handful of Humongous games that I tried awhile back and it's pretty easy to set up.

And KinderComp. Pretty sure I still have my copies of all 3 in their boxes.

I played it on an Apple 2e in elementary school. I loved that game. It was great for improving mental math speed.

Yeah, this one: https://youtu.be/7F4_kzb_vzg

Although maybe there’s an even older version!

One I am thinking of is much older. No voice acting at all. Just midi sound.

Ah but you see... this was for Mega Math Blasters.

Easy mistake.

I remember like 87 different versions of it. There was the DOS one, the Apple IIe color version, one for Windows. My family owned one called The Search for Spot that was fully animated and voiced, then later I got a geometry version that had completely different characters, story, and gameplay.
