Mental Math Games - Raccoon Race (True Ending)

I hacked the game files and found the animation in there, so I added the music to it and remade the video. No sound effects, sadly.

Mental Math Games is an old game suite by the Waterford Institute that I recently rediscovered. This clip is my favorite part of the suite; it is the reward for passing all of the speed math tests. This video is the manually resynced version, with no sound effects.

Thank you for posting this game video. I have 3 children" now in their 20s and they wouuld play mental math games for several hours at a time, not only to build their math skills, but mainly to see the raccon progress a few more steps in the sequence. I still have the 3.5" disks, but don't have a computer to play it on. I now tutor Math and wish I could find it on a CD in a version which will play on my Toshiba Dual Core Laptop.

@kevinwwjd2 Look for Mental Math Games by Kidsoft on Amazon, they do have it on CD.

What system was this on?

[oldbushie]

@WeeabooTelevision I had to use DOSBox to run it. It's from pre-1990.

Whoa this thing repeated SO MUCH that it its movements were permanently engrained in my memory. I think it probably gave me some minor brain damage

i too would very much like to play this game again cuz i remember how much fun it was as a kid. if you could point me in the right direction, i would greatly appreciate it!!!

@oldbushie I see. It appeared to be on another computer rather than on DOS.

[oldbushie]

Try Amazon, I know they have a scant few copies somewhere.

I wish there was some way to get it... you'd think it would be on some abandonware site at this point but I can't find it. I have dosbox running and would love to try it again!

You are very welcome. :D That's the reason I sought this game out in the first place, plus the fact that it was really the first computer game I ever played that was really memorable.
