I played this game a decent bit as a kid. It was targeted towards older children, compared to its sister franchise Reader Rabbit. A mystery involving a long-lost civilization and a guardian deity gone rogue - it was gripping as a child. I would love ClueFinders and other Learning Company IPs to be modernized and/or preserved for modern/future systems.
To this day, there is no gaming memory more special to me than The ClueFinders 3rd Grade Adventures. My dad was a computer guy early on- as soon as I was old enough to start to understand, we started building computers together. The first two I had were DOS-only and had interesting little games that were appropriate for my age. But the moment we finished my first Windows computer, I was presented with this game. Immediately, it captured my little mind. Who DOESN'T want to immediately get pulled into an incredible adventure with a colorful jungle setting, a flying monster, and a bunch of mystery solving kids? I was a little young for it, but I worked towards the harder questions and replayed the game over and over. Even after I played the other games, and even after I got older, this game still held a special place in my heart. I still have my physical copy from all those years ago. I had hoped to pass it down to my own children, but so far, I've just been able to loan it to my sister to show to my niece. There is still a place for games like this in today's world. Children can still benefit from games like this, and it deserves to be preserved, so that others can carry fond memories like this down the line as well.
One of my earliest childhood experiences of PC gaming if not THE earliest memory I had was this game, reader rabbit and Carmen San Diego on an old Dell PC when they still have the cow print box this beings back memories
