Word Rescue – PC

Word Rescue by Redwood Games is an excellent educational game for the younger children, teaching vital spelling and word association skills without taking them out of the gameplay. Another Apogee-sponsored classic, this is right up there with Math Rescue in being elementary school-level programs that just about any growing child could really prosper from, even today. Don’t be a Gruzzle, give a book a nuzzle! …That made more sense in my head.

Math Rescue – PC

How often do you find an educational game that still manages to be legitimately fun for the kids? Making games like that is a lost art these days, but the Apogee-published Math Rescue proves that it’s nowhere near impossible. Math Rescue gives children valuable time to practice math skills while still letting them play a fun action platformer, showing a seamless formula that should be learned from and emulated for the benefit of future generations.
