My parents got my on PC young, used to love the Jump Start games and magic schoolbus games.

Non edu games I remember fondly from that time, Jazz Jack rabbit, Earthworm Jim, the flying toaster games, pajama Sam, putt putt, Freddy fish.

My wife said spy fox must be added :D

I remember playing one of the Spy Fox games, the ozone destroying one, sometimes when I would go to speech therapy. It was such a fun game for kid me. Same situation with one of the Pajama Sam games (can't remember which).

Cannot recall ever playing any jumpstart or magic schoolbus games, though.

As for non-edu games I had as a young kid, I remember having one of the first 2 rollercoaster tycoon games (can't remember which), a few of the classic "1000 In 1" game discs (pretty sure one might have had a full-on casino game that I used to love) almost everyone seemed to have at least one of, and an I-Spy game (cannot remember which one, but I think it was in a quaint small town on an island).
