So I have NO IDEA what triggered my memory of this, but back when I was in elementary school, my dad had gotten me the Thinkin’ Things collection (original, Collection 2, and Collection 3). These were three computer games that consisted of sets of puzzles, interactive playthings, and things that made a lot of music/sound.

I LOVED them. I have so many memories of playing through them for HOURS at my dad’s condo on that old Mac computer that he had.

Here’s a place where you can play the first one.

My favorite was the shapes that all made different sounds (the icon with the white dot grid and the geometric shapes on it)

And the second one.

I think my favorite game in the second collection was the one where you could draw a path and have a set of shapes follow it (the one with the window/circles icon).

I can’t find an interactive version of the third collection, but here’s a YouTube vid:

The one with the balls and the sand (7:34), OH MY GOD I LOVED IT. I remember all of these sounds, man. And the half time one (25:01) EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yay nostalgia.

Did anyone else have these games?
