The Game Identification Thread

If you've forgotten the name of a game, post here and someone may be able to help you.

I have three:

1. I remember when I was 5 or 6 or 7 (this would be 1997-1999 or so), at the local after-school program, they had a console, which I don't remember. I remember one time watching older kids playing this 3D game with a monkey wearing a red (?) shirt and baseball hat. I don't remember any more details.

2. When we had the 3-day Windows 95, it came with some disc, "Starting with Windows 95" or something. On that, it had some sort of awful-looking 3D game where you were trying to drive a car. I kept crashing mine into brick walls. Anybody have an idea? (I know it's not Streets of SimCity.)

3. On old elementry school Macs (System 7, I think, with Apple At Ease), it had some math game. I remember when you first started up, you'd be taken to this "room", where you clicked on various animations to play the games. The only game I remember is something to do with fractions, you would drag and drop the fraction blocks into this thing, which would then make it into "music."

Thanks.

The monkey sounds like Diddy Kong, so it could be any of the Donkey Kong games made since Donkey Kong Country.

Thank you! Yes, it is Diddy Kong, and that's the game I was talking about.

People born in the 90s or after shouldn't be allowed. I'm distressed D: I'm not old! NO!

Math Workshop! With the gorilla bowling... Man I just got hit with a blast of nostalgia.

Agreed.

I remember a game from like when i was in kindergarten, like 1986, that had a bumblebee on it. the bee would just ask you multiple choice questions like, What would you do if you were home alone? If an elderly person was standing at a crosswalk would you help them?

It was a weird, be a good citizen type game. Is anyone old enough to remember this?

I'm wondering about another one. Googling failed to find anything.
Same old Mac. This program was called "Newton's Something" (or along those lines), a science program. And you had this main menu with different pictures, you click on a picture and it animated then asked you to insert the CD. And when you inserted the CD, it gave you a bunch of science information about the thing you clicked.
