Reliving My Childhood Nightmares | The Aladdin Edutainment Games Retrospective

I've spent a lot of time in my life reliving various times through the media I've consumed. This goes back to when I was 15 and decided to replay and then beat the Legend of Dragoon for the first time. I think the media we consumed growing up defines us all, but there are multiple levels. There's the obvious stuff that you'll never forget, and will always hold a special place in your heart, for me that would be something like spyro, there's the second tier of stuff which you remember but don't have much fondness for, something like army of two would be that for me, and then you have the bottom layer of stuff which you remember but to such a vague degree that you weren't even sure if what you're thinking of was real. Today we discuss that very thing with that Aladdin Edutainment Games. Disney's Math Quest With Aladdin, and Disney's Reading Quest With Aladdin. It's to the point that I wasn't even quite sure if these games were real for many years. I had such vague memories of them that I wasn't even entirely sure they weren't the result of an extremely vivid dream from when I was very young, and I was almost wanting to play them just to convince myself that they actually existed. But they're real, and are responsible for some of my earliest gaming memories. I must have been four or even younger the first time I played these games on my family's first home computer. And I took the opportunity to play them for the first time in well over 20 years while I had nothing else better to do. Let's take a look and see how they hold up.
