Perfect Speedrun! Super Solvers Midnight Rescue, 4:55

I found my old copy of this game on CD!

Too bad It won't work on Windows 7......

Now where is my old XP desktop?

I once would name my classmates after the robots (I always thought Buffo and Pogo were female!)

[dethmaul]

@pannoni1

Cool lol. Classmates after robots, or robots after classmates?

[daytimesky]

I wonder if the Super Solver's tacky outfit that doesn't allow face to be visible is done partly to make the character genderless.

[dethmaul]

@daytimesky Sounds like a good reason to me. They had to be creative about that stuff, back before you could swap character skins.

[Krakko44]

@daytimesky meh, i always assumed he was a guy what with the massive shoulders and baseball cap and everything

[daytimesky]

My cousin used to play this. I remember trying it once and intentionally losing to see what would happen. I was hoping your character could die, but of course, him being a kid (an oddly dressed, rather unfashionable one), and I think if you guess wrong (I think in Outnumbered), a laser shoots a hole in the floor and you fall in. What happens if you fail in this game?

Master of Mischief is quite excitable when he's caught. I think he's doing this on purpose.

@daytimesky

The Master gets all happy, he throws a pie at you, or marbles, or whatever generates(the robot attacks), you stumble and fall over, and the clock fast forwards to midnight and the screen closes in from the corners to center while this depressing midi tune plays. My stomach still does flips if I see that timer supersonic to midnight and start flashing red x_x

this was one of the first computer games I ever played , I was in 2nd grade and we had all of the super solvers games on the school computers, I hated math so this was all I played (no offense to the outnumbered fans lol).

a simple but great game that made me the computer junkie I am today

anyone remember reader rabbit lol?

@arrestmeimwhite I think I remember Reader Rabbit, it's ringing a bell. But that might be Jazz Jackrabbit.

I think this is the reason I'm a computer freak, too :) I wish the dumbasses these days had real games like this when they're tots. Not to be harsh, though. I'm old-fashioned.

[Zylo587]

the super solvers were the only floppy disc games i can remember

i feel old

[dethmaul]

@Zylo587 You don't feel old, you feel accomplished.

[Jgaldragon]

wasn't there an enhanced version of this game?

[dethmaul]

@Jgaldragon I'm not sure, if there was I've never played it, but I DO remember there being a CD ROM version of it in the game stores when I was young.

[starhealer1]

I use to play this game quite a bit when I was a kid & I loved it. I also remember a game identical to this one but the charater was in a tv station instead of a school

[dethmaul]

Yeah, Super Solvers Midnight Rescue: Outnumbered! I downloaded that one too, but the program is kind of screwed up and I can't solve the puzzle at the end. It wont let me use certain keys so I can't scroll x_x

[ExcruciationX]

Great run.

[jakemouse]

Where did you get that desktop wallpaper? It's awesome!

[dethmaul]

Yeh damn skippy it's awesome!

I ran into it by accident from googling warcraft desktop, but I can't find it now :( Don't know the original file name either. I can email it to you if you'd like.

[jakemouse]

I'll send ya a message with my email...

I played that game back in camp....
