As a parent, I put quite a bit of time into trying to find the huge number of excellent, new edutainment games that must exist since the market’s a ton bigger now and so many kids have access to tablets and such. I was surprised to find that most of the best ones were remakes of the old ones (Oregon Trail) or weirdly empty and small in scope like the very simplest, early edutainment games (number munchers, say) as in the case of Dragon Box Math. The boom of ambitious, fun, and sometimes weird 90s edutainment the legacy of which I was hoping to find wasn’t there. Really weird.
