So It begins\Microsoft encarta 95' review

I haven't posted anything lately because today I start school and work, I've been preparing for my break to end. i'm going to be writing whenever I get a chance however that chance is unknown when it will occur. But regardless thanks to those who read my page and are following it and I shall write more soon!!

I played a game in 1995 called microsoft encarta 95' my grandpa would get things like this for free as he was a professor of geology and is now retired, now i'm sure you are thinking encarta isn't that an encyclopedia? Yep it sure is but it was also a maze puzzle called Mind Maze with questions you had to answer in order to continue on the maze it was pretty fun here is some screens to enjoy  an educational game sure but still lots of fun and you learn something in the process







Give it a go I don't know if it's freeware or abandonware in fact I doubt it. But either way if you find it, it is something worth experiencing so, enjoy and have fun, don't let the jester touch you, he is creepy as all jesters are. I give Mind Maze a 7 out of 10 for being a random maze generator but the questions do eventually turn into the same questions if you play it enough but believe me there are a ton of questions so it takes a long time to get to that point.

    1. It really was, especially as a kid and wanting to play it then says something when it's about teaching you things.
