ITT: Help a brother figure out what the fuck this 90's/early 2000's kid's game was called.
Alright, so I don't know why this gets to me this hard, but every 6 months I get vague memories of an educational computer game that I played a fuckton when I was really young- I reckon it was released in the late 90's/early 2000's.
From what I remember, the game was set in space and the main characters that were guiding you were aliens who were also basically news anchors... and I think that there was some kind of space dog. The whole thing could have been a game show, actually, and I reckon the mini-games were mostly based around reading/spelling.
Also, it might have been Australian but I'm not sure and I'm fairly certain that the broadcast characters were purple. This is killing me, I am going to die this way.

Anyone else reminded of Gauntlet 64 cause of this pic?
Thomas Lopez
It's Zoombinis nigga. One of the best of the best. These are the games that made boomer autists so wizardly.
Henry Cruz
yeah the game I'm trying to think of isn't Zoombinis, how could I forget THAT shit it's fucking gold.
Brody Russell
oh, sorry, you're asking for a different game. can you draw the game interface out in MSPaint for us?
Jayden Rodriguez
I should have been more clear- I remember Zoombinis well, I said 'pic sorta related' because it's a sick ass kid's game.
Xavier Myers
Was it just writing and reading, or did it do maths too?
Juan Moore
I was about to suggest Troggle Trouble Math until you pointed out the reading/spelling part
Hit us with 100 hours in MSpaint and maybe we can find it

Ugh, I'm a beyond terrible artist. The main screen that I remember is two purple aliens (that looked fairly human line for aliens) behind a kind of news reporter/game show desk and the backdrop was a bunch of stars and planets. I think it might have been early 2000's rather than 90's.
Yeah I think it had reading, writing and maths, and I'm sure that the sorta /theme/ was that it's a televised game show.

this ticks all of the boxes but annoyingly enough, it isn't the one I'm thinking of... I reckon whatever I played was not very popular.
It didn't look like either, it actually graphically looked a lot better which leads me to believe that it was released later than I initially thought.
Perhaps it is a later Math Blasted? I'll look through them. I know there was a big component where, if you do well, you unlock chapters of a story which was the main thing that I gave a shit about at the time.
Leo Allen
Probably isn't it, but you mentioned that you though it was Australian.
Nah m8, so long as we remember Zoombinis, we'll always have a sense of youth in our hearts
Dylan Moore
ahhhh I remember that fucking cover, but yeah it's not it- I don't /think/ that it was actually Australian, just thought it might be because I can't find shit about it anywhere.
