Playthrough: Arthur's Computer Adventure - Part 1

[@tohdohsibir]

After twenty or so years, nostalgia hits me like a tidal wave. Before Playstation, I was all over this and Math Blaster.

[@andreapatane4204]

I used to engage my late grandfather in a game of Deep Dark Sea. It was one of the choices for activities for this game I played when I was a preteen. Arthur is a lean, mean dancing machine. I donated this one to charity this year in the summer.

I would play Putt Putt I had the cd at home......I gave it away years ago though mostly cause I didn't have a computer that could read the discs anymore

[@Devansh_Rajput]

I used to play this game dozens of times a long time ago on my desktop computer back when we had it. That was over 10 years ago.

[@blueseyberries]

oh my gosh. I didn't realize I remembered the sounds of this until I heard it again .

[@doubletroublerainbow10]

I remember playing this when I was two years old, and everything I clicked on seemed to make perfect sense.

[@alexisclinton717]

My grandmother used to let me play with Living Books when I was little. I learned to read thanks to them. Stellaluna is my favorite.

[@caitlinjane92]

This is one of my favorite computer games I ever played during my childhood. I first became aware of its existence when I saw that it could be played on those old elementary school Mac computers. Eventually I ended up getting it as either a birthday or Christmas gift.

[@joeyjoe308]

I miss this game! I remember those 2 nice being crazy and all other things I used to click on. I wanna go back to playing old computer games, but I have to focus on my studies. Two things I have to say in this game (I know, everything else I remember too many things lol): one is something that clearly reminds me of, and the second I noticed during the helicopter activity and so on: Arthur getting scared by a shark on his computer screen reminds me so much of little Moana from the Wreck-it Ralph sequel who also got scared when the screen of her tablet turned off suddenly itself after the bunny exploded from eating so much pancakes. During the helicopter activity, Arthur and his father froze (except D.W.), and the latter held his blink until the game activity is over. I used to put so many firefighters of them saying “Help! Rescue me!” all at the same time! Too funny! 😂😂 Edit: Arthur froze too so a little edit 😂

[@ZakWolf]

The book adaptation fails to mention HOW Arthur got a copy of "Deep Dark Sea." In the TV episode this story was adapted from ("Arthur the Wrecker,") Arthur says The Brain let him borrow his copy of the game to play. (Another game The Brain loaned Arthur was "Captain Sludge vs. Drain Boy" in "Play it Again D.W.")

[@jamesborlan2850]

Zak Wolf to be fair Zack in the intro to the living books version Arthur mentioned that the brain gave him this game

I love this game. I really like how the angry anthropomorphic lamp gets annoyed when you click on him. Page 2: 1st click: Don't do that! Don't click on me again! 2nd click: You're not listening! I said, don't do that! 3rd click: GRRRRRR!! Now I'm getting REALLY HOT!! 4th click: Look, I don't do nothing, go- go click on the bunnies or something! (Goes back to 1st click) Page 4: 1st click: Look, I'm asking you very nicely, please don't click on me! 2nd click: Ow! Hey! Don't click on me! 3rd click: Quit poking me! Just leave me alone! (Goes back to 1st click) Page 14: 1st click: Look, I'm a lamp! I turn on, I turn off! This is all I do! SO GO AWAY!! 2nd click: OK, I BEG YOU! Please don't do that anymore!! 3rd click: Now you've done it! That's it!! I'm outta here!!! (Leaves the screen)

Along with all my other beloved childhood pc games.

[@TiannaRamirez]

I remember playing this game at the library when I was a kid! Good times :D

[@ARemoteAndRandomName]

Really? Huh, it all makes sense now. It also explains why this story has way too many names. The episode was "Arthur the Wrecker", the book "Arthur's Computer Disaster", and the game "Arthur's Computer Adventure". And to make it even more confusing, the VHS tape is also called "Arthur's Computer Adventure"! So which one is it?

[@carolinebergin4633]

Meh, I just choose to go with the flow and enjoy it all

[@tinaswitzer7188]

I still have this CD rom!!! It's pretty scratched up though........ It usually ends up freezing. This nostalgia is real! I remember the devil conscious thing and the talking computer TERRIFIED me! I'm glad I'm not the only one that watches these kinds of videos!

exactly what I was thinking. I completely agree with you. I hate that's there's different voices on here

Aren't these the original voices tho. The voices now are weird to me

[@fullhousefrek]

Why didn't I know about this when I was younger?! :(

[@ARemoteAndRandomName]

Yes, that really needs to happen. Amazingly enough, they're still selling a lot of them in unchanged and un-updated form, which is a horrible idea given that these games have not done too well on modern computers (Most of us have to use emulators just to get these games to work!). Re-releasing them would solve a lot of problems. The three Dr. Seuss titles have been put on the Mac app store, so that's at least a start. But I think way more than the Dr. Seuss titles deserve an update!

The one thing I remember about this game is the lamp who gets angry when you click on him. XD
