[Lucid:]

My first instinct is to go straight to "Pokemon Yellow is my defining childhood game!" but I was recently reminded of a lot of PC games I had as a very young child that I really should mention.

On Black Friday, the Humble store had a bunch of games on sale that I hadn't seen for a very long time: Putt-Putt and Freddi Fish. As a child, I played Putt-Putt Joins the Parade and Freddi Fish: The Case of the Missing Conch over and over and over. I also played Mr. Potato Head Saves Veggie Valley repeatedly, but that wasn't part of the Humble sale. I was really tempted, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend $2 on Freddi Fish. xD

When I was about 2-3, I played Reader Rabbit (not sure which version). The game came with 30ish short books of increasing difficulty that you could read along with (or while you weren't playing) the computer game. I wholly credit this game for teaching me to read by 3 years old.

I also really enjoyed JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain even though I always got stuck if it made me do the astronomy part. I don't think I understood what I was supposed to actually do to get past that part, so I ended up playing the beginning of the game a ton and never actually finishing it.
