Reliving My Childhood Nightmares | The Aladdin Edutainment Games Retrospective
Ойындар
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.

To be honest, this is a video that I've been holding off on releasing for a while. I pretty much knew that nobody was interested.

Math Quest is one of the few times Robin Willaims came back to play Genie. It's interesting on that level alone.
Funny enough, Robin Williams had a stipulation in his contract with Disney where he would *only* reprise his role as The Genie if the content was educational.
I really enjoyed this fully serious critique of Edutainment game design. So many kids game reviews brush things off as "just for kids", but kids deserve fun and well constructed games, whether or not they're educational.
Mathquest was the shit back when i played it. The gameplay was fun and the visuals were cool, if a bit creepy at times.
I love the fact that this is the video where the swearing is uncensored, the Disney educational game video. If I have to guess why it's probably so that this video can not be marked as "For Kids" by KZread.

Those games that felt like a product of a fever dream when looking back were the Pink Panther edutainment games for me. I had to look those up a couple years ago just to make sure they even existed.
congrats on hitting 100k TBP🎉
I legit had to double take when I heard Robin Williams' voice here, at first thinking it was Jim Meskimen but then I remembered he only became Genie's voice in recent years. Like, how weird is it that they somehow managed to get him to reprise his role in a run-of-the-mill edutainment game but not for any bigger, more mainstream console games like Nasira's Revenge or Kingdom Hearts (especially this one with how it managed to get a quite a few big names)? If I had to guess, maybe Williams picked that game because it was such a small project and he probably didn't want his name to be used in a big market push again... or maybe he did it for the hell of it, I dunno.
Can’t wait for the Black retrospective.
God of War, Twisted Metal, and GTA to preschool Aladdin edutainment games.
Everytime i see your intro i get hungry

sweet some edumatament games
This video was a bit different but still good. Should do more like this. Oh you have 100k?! Congrats Tactical 🎉
Congratulations on hitting 100k.
I’m a massive fan of kingdom hearts. I’m not sure if you are, but it’s definitely one of my favourite video game series ever. It’s far from perfect and can be convoluted at times, but it’s one of the many games that defined the PS2 for me.
I used to have the Reading Quest one. Didn't know there was a math one, but I'm not surprised to learn it exists
Building a virtual PC is a feat itself. Trying to play games on it is a different beast entirely. (Also, clever thumbnail)
I had math quest as a kid to. I nearly forgot this game existed.
18:45 I guess this would be a good time to say I had to get my mom to take me out of the theater during Casper. And I almost didn’t make it through Hercules. No shame on childhood fears.
The mummy from math quest has a cool design. I’ve never seen the floating head with smoke trope applied to a mummy, not ghosts, so it’s pretty unique to me.
There must be something in the water. So many people I follow are going back to edutainment games these last few months. Not a complaint mind you.
Loved watching Aladdin as a kid!
ayo! you got it! congrats on the 100k man :)
Well this is an interesting video as I am a big Aladdin fan and yet I never play any of those but did try a demo of Narisa's Revenge. This is very good looking back on those lost games. :) Also surprised you haven't mention Don Bluth when you discuss dark moments in kid's media, as that guy does well with his iconic dark/mature stuff in his classics.
Congrats on 100k! :D
I saw the Aladdin fortune teller in the other video and guessed this would be next happy to see it because I played it as a kid
HOly damn... Alladin math Quest.. I never remenber the name but the Spider was the one that click me to the memory that was hiden all these years... thank to unlock a forgoten memory
I have such fond memories of these games lol Only Aladdin I’ve ever experienced actually
As a kid, there was a weird glitch with reading quest where the screen would turn black except for the stuff that moved.
heyyy congrats on 100K 🎉
I remember having played this as a tot myself.
Made bacon and eggs as this dropped, what a wonderful day
Congratulations on 100K
I really enjoyed Nasira’s Revenge on PS1. It’s a pretty underrated game overall I think. It’s definitely not perfect by any means, but I like the unique story and it wasn’t based on any of the Aladdin movies at all. That’s what makes it stands out to me.
Yo I had Alladin Reading Quest as a kid.....thanks for making me feel old man
This game is a trip
I imagine Robin Williams wasn't onboard for more than that one game because there was fallout after the movie released. If I remember correctly, I think it was over merchandising
Cool video
Nice!
The original riven id say is a good game to try, but the riven remaster im going to try today, it looks absolutely beautiful. Though i love the ps1 "moving water" trick they did back in 1997 its just great
LEGEND OF DRAGOON!!!!!
Operation Neptune and Oregon Trail next, please.
There was sorta castle game that me and my sister would play on the PC when we were kids I remember feeding a crocodile and using a shield to bounce arrows away from your castle. Was this game real does anyone else remember 🤔
These games remind me of Wishbone and the Amazing Odyssey game
Your childhood game is good and all but whats better is if you make that twisted metal black video
This reminds me when I bought The Lion King for Sega Mega Drive. Big mistake. lol
Did you play Chex Quest as a kid?
Are upside down floating pyramids from some type of religion, history or book? Because Mario Odyssey has one too.
Aw man, now I miss Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried
18:35 Is that a Precursor from Jak & Daxter?
All of these edicational games were weird, I remember playing ones not alladin based and still eager to shut them off as they seemed kinda unssetling to play or were very boring!
Wahoowagaga - Mario Mario
Tbp!!
Eyo legend of dragoon video when???
Maybe you should do a series on Jak and Daxter or a series on PS 3D platformers in general

Well, I don't really have any creative interest in the platformer genre right now, and I haven't for a while.
If you think these games were childhood nightmares then you didn't play one of those knock off edutainment games based on Aladdin, those are the real nightmare edutaiment games to play as a kid
