na dude these games were purely educational. they taught you mass shit in elementary school. i learned more from these games than i did from my teachers

all the super solver games were amazing. i can remember playing them from 1st all the way to 5th grade. every second of free time the teacher gave me i was playing them

Oh I know what your talking about, you catch the elves with nets that you buy from a store, and you go up the mountain once you got enough elves or something...
But it was oregon trail for me...
