Magic school bus flash game

We remember the 90s as a decade where video games began to explode in popularity. All those weird and wacky teachable moments now were interactive - but how well did they actually come off? How that Magic School Bus theme song brings back memories. Echoed in an 8-bit format, the nostalgia of this franchise knocks your head like a ton of the school books you were supposed to read to actually educate yourself. No time for that - Ms. Frizzle needs us to guide the bus to Mars. The Magic School Bus game revolves around space exploration - where each planet can be selected as a mission on a map.

There isn't much of a linear story behind it, however. The game will just present a series of mini-games as the bus takes you around the solar system to try and cram some learning material into your noggin.

The games and missions you play do what an already established franchise does best - blatantly rips-off mechanics from other games. The Magic School Bus is not entirely guilty of copy and paste, as there are some unique elements to the mini-games.

It's easy to see the resemblance considering playable missions like navigating through an Asteroid field Asteroids and flying through space to dodge all the ethereal junk thrown at you Defender.

Some of the games are surprisingly challenging, considering they were developed for children. Any adult could actually have a whale of a time when attempting to perfectly land an upright school bus on Mars. Not so much when you are just hopping between space holiday snaps, maybe. As a wholesome game, however, The Magic School Bus actually stands up.

Any learning medium that this game tries on seems to be completely redundant. Apart from the cognitive skills - the game teaches and the giggles it delivers when you travel to Uranus, you get the feeling you haven't learned a whole lot. That's perfectly OK, though. The Magic School Bus' difficulty curve actually makes for a fun game to play. It's a game that simply forces its players to use their intuition and skill to beat each of its oddly similar missions.

I can find "friendship" I can find "is" I can find "magic" but I can't find any ponies!! Yet another case of something good that couldv ben SOO much more! AndI would LOVE to see somr good clifferd flash on here Just as long as atleast one of thoes girls gets pregnant Emily elizabeth by one of the human boys Cough!
