Huh, that was interesting. At least it utilized a fully functional system once upon a time. What would be kinda cool, is if you used that for a system dedicated for Edutainment based games.

I found a fully fitted out one of these on ebay last week for $1

Awww, and I was thinking this was something you used as Little LGR instead of finding it at 16 years old at an airport, lol. I bet it was still a fun blast from the past seeing that again! :)

Hey LGR. It'd be cool if you could do more videos like these. Just awesome finding stuff like this in places you wouldn't expect.

LazyGameReviews

That's the entire idea of LGR Thrifts, actually :) But yeah, I know what you mean! If I come across more one-off finds like this I'll post a vid

I wish I'd run across one when it was new in '98! I was 12 so still a bit old for it, but I'd have gotten a kick out of it even still

That's such a cool thing for a kid! I love it. Also, thank you thank you thank you. Let's Explore the Airport is something I played with so much as a kid and I had forgotten what it was. It's singlehandedly responsible for my love of planes and flying. You should feature that game during edutainment month or whenever. I'd love to know more about it and your experiences with Buzzy the Bee!

Happy to have helped bring back memories! It's a game I wanna take a look at sometime, for sure.

Hopefully this posts as a reply. Probably not though. I can't figure out how to reply. On another non edutainment note, I'd love to see a video about pinball games. There's one that I remember playing on Windows 95 back in the day and having so much fun with. It was one that my 5 year old self couldn't get started on my own because of all the settings. I remember it had a table based on gangsters/mobsters and a cowboy/gunslinger table. I can't remember for the life of me what the game was called and I've had no luck finding mention of it anywhere online.

So was there some kind of specific software running on these? If yes, that would be really interesting to see.

I recall there being a Little Tikes frontend of some kind, yes. Of course, not having the machine or the software, I can't show it off at the moment!
