Old PC Games - Help!

[D-Lux]

My friend and I were talking about old games we used to play when we were in grade school (you know, the 5 1/4 floppy disk games) and we're stumped on one we can't find. It was an educational math game, and the most we can remember is climbing up a snowy mountain gathering stuff. You would encounter elves and they'd give you a math problem to solve. When you got to the top, you'd win. It was pretty popular in schools (like Oregon Trail and Number Munchers). I'm hoping this isn't something as simple as a mini game in Math Blasters, but we're stumped.

I remember a flash game that I played about 4 years ago. The most I can remember is that you were an adventurer having to save the town I think. It wasn't animated at all, and everytime you clicked to do something (attack, walk, etc.) a new picture would come up. You may have been limited to the amount of times you could do things per day, but I'm not sure.

Also, feel free to discuss all those old games you played while all the other kids were out at recess.

I remember what game you're talking about, but not the name. your character wore some goofy hat and sweatshirt with a really high collar and glasses... I think. Anyway, he was featured in a series of games, I can remember playing one wher you went around gathering these parts for a car and then racing it.

The one thing that sticks out for me about the game you mentioned was this little cave you had that you stored all the items you won in. Everytime you'd scale the mountian, you'd get to the top and they'd give you some stupid little item and you'd drop back down to the bottom to do it all over again. I can recall two of the games they had you play, one was with weights and a balance, and the other was where you went into this dark cave and these little glowy gems would appear and you'd have to count them within a time limit. Of course, too many would appear at once and you'd have to revert to multiplication.

If it helps (and if we're talking about the same game), I think I played it on the Mac. Not to say that it wasn't on the PC, but when I was in grade and middle school, they had nothing but Macs.

The mountain game sounds like Super Solvers: Treasure Mountain.

I used to play it also.

Yeah, the one with elves is almost definitely Treasure Mountain.
