The Cluefinders!
Now, it is no secret that I am a NERD! I enjoy my video games, anime, etc. But what many people may not know is that some of these games from my childhood were not only fun, but educational as well. One of those kind of games I remember playing was the Cluefinders.
The series made its debut back in 1998 with the Mystery of Mathra which was the first of 13 total videos games created for the series.
From the first game on, we followed the amazing adventures of the group called the Cluefinders. Members were Joni Savage, Santiago Rivera, Owen Lam, Leslie Clark, LapTrap and later on their dog Socrates. These games to me, reminded me of Scooby Doo where it was like a mystery which also involved genres like fantasy and science fiction.
Now, I am not have been the brightest kid in school, I would go as far and say I am pretty slow. But playing these games I definitely enjoyed learning. In fairness to these game, for the most part were based on what grade the player was in. Of course there were plenty of others games that just focused on one subject.
Heck! Finding these games on youtube watching people playing them brings back so many memories for me. I would love to be able to show my little nephew these games and use it to help him learn and show Lukey that you never stop learning and more importantly, learning can be fun!
As I was going through memory lane researching for this blog post, I discovered that this series had won five awards! Which was pretty cool to see that because these games were really fun and other people were having fun playing these games too.
