rebooter Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) This was another CL wild goose chase pretty badly timed since I am moving soon and didn't need 10 file boxes to deal with. Still, I had to rescue this trove of late 80s and early 90s PC educational software--with quite a few games tossed in--that came from a defunct reading clinic. Everything was carefully stored in file folders and in many cases the disks were placed in envelopes, likely only copied once and never used. Every disk in that picture also had a manual in mint condition (not pictured). Several boxes to go through still. I'm hoping somebody over at the Kyroflux forums will be willing to preserve these educational disks because many are quite obscure. As many of you know, educational software was rarely coveted at copy parties back in the day. Edited September 2, 2015 by rebooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Look at all those MECC titles! I have very fond memories of these games. We still had an Apple II that ran many of them in my 5th grade class (circa 1995 or so). The school didn't get a new lab until I was in 7th grade or so and they put in Mac OS 8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Don't forget the manuals and boxes should be archived. Allan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebooter Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Finished sorting most of the floppies and manuals. That box of manuals is packed thick and tall and heavy! Check out that early stylus. Also found among the stuff: eight brand new 120mb Superdisks, AOL floppy, tons of flyers from vintage local computer stores (386sx systems, etc).

jhd Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 While I have no interest in educational software, it is great to see that it has been stored under such excellent conditions, and that the manuals, etc. are still there. I like the idea of saving the local computer store flyers; to me that is the more significant part of the collection. The software may be scarce to rare, but the flyers are undoubtedly unique, and they document the local market/community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebooter Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Good point--those flyers are likely the rarest items in the lot. I'll have to scan them in at some point and put them on archive.org. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Man those AOL mailers were great back in the day! I never had to buy floppy discs thanks to these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
