This is a computer game created by MECC in 1995. It is essentially a stage play simulation game in which you can make plays. Very similar to The American Girls Premiere which was created by the Learning Company in ca. 1998 and functions about the same way.

Create, direct and perform your very own plays!

Opening Night brings your imagination to life with more than 40 photo-realistic costumed characters, 110 different sets, hundreds of props and sound effects, and musical selections. Join your audience and watch your play on-screen or print it out and perform it live!

Troggle Trouble Math

sfp1954 — Wed, 01 Jan 2014 01:36:04 +0000

Troggle Trouble Math is a 1994 educational game by MECC, the legendary edutainment company responsible for classics like The Oregon Trail and the Munchers series. This game is an action-adventure spinoff of the Muncher games featuring the scientist Magenta and her dog Sparky as they try to rescue the Muncher from the evil Dr. Frankentroggle. Rather than presenting problems to answer, Troggle Trouble Math makes players explore a handful of stages (some repeated) and solve story problems to find items important to tracking down the Troggles.

Science Sleuths Vol 1: Mysteries of the Blob and the Exploding Lawnmowers

macgirl84 — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 19:27:32 +0000

You are an intrepid young scientist who has to solve the scientific mysteries of a blob that washed up on the coast, and lawnmowers exploding in a residential area. You're given access to a pretty snazzy lab, and must report your documented findings to your boss at the end of the case. Failure to fully document your findings (and back them up with science) will lead to you being sent back to the lab to get more info.

Amazon Trail II

macgirl84 — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 05:59:11 +0000

Amazon Trail is very similar to its cousin, Oregon Trail, but with a few marked instances:
1) Instead of helping to "civilize" the world you're attempting to save the Inca.
2) You're rafting up the Amazon River (not down the treacherous Columbia)
3) You spend your journey randomly jumping through time
4) All fishing, all the time (no guns, no bison, but you get to use spears!)
5) Try to "shoot" all the animals in photographs (see if you can find the non-existant pink river dolphin!)
6) Instead of flooding your wagon in a river, you can get stuck in mud. Much more annoying.
