Just another thread Instead of making it randomly titled
'has anyone played it " or "does anyone remember this " etc just decided to put it in one common title.

So i was going through some old pc games videos on youtube came across this.

Scholastic Magic School Bus series, These things were planted in most microsoft discs back in the day and the promo was always fun to watch as a kid , i had only played the demo for these games but it was simple fun.

Does anyone remember these educational games ? i still think they could be fun for kids today instead of throwing them under stupid games like call of duty or some shitty fps shooter games.

I have no idea if these discs are made anymore or who owns the rights , just in case anyone else get a nostalgia kick.
kindly vote here

YES! My friend, I do remember these! I used to spend ages playing them as a kid at school, during recess. I even used to own a copy of the Magic Schoolbus Solar System game!
Ah good times.

I actually had that game as a kid. Although I think I spent more time building sand castles than exploring the ocean. =/

I remember those demos. I actually had 'In the Human Body', that was an interesting game.

And yep, building sand castles all day.

speaking of sand castles i found that part of demo hosted on ms website, holy cow in fact they still have tons of demos of the game.

Hey man, Unfortunately Microsoft took these links down or discontinued them :(
Any chance someone has copies of the demos that they could upload to a file hosting site so we can keep the love going? My dad had all the demos installed on our old Win95 box :)

Also, I seem to recall there being a "Heart Pinball" demo?

Gavin Free mentioned in one of Achievement Hunter's videos that he played one of the Magic School Bus games growing up, and Ray gave a shoutout to Pajama Sam, which of course floored me because it came out of nowhere.

Drat! Well, the search will continue; once I find them I'll be sure to share.

Sigh i wish somehow these games would get a release with some improvements specially given in 2022 Microsoft is taking over gaming companies to push game releases
