Treasure MathStorm! Gameplay (1996 Windows Version)

[@Mr.M1STER]

I randomly remembered today this game from my childhood but I couldn't think of the name. I googled "old computer game snowy mountain" and that led me here. Ahh the memories.

[@laurenmcwills]

Same here! I kept looking up "late 90s computer snowball eskimo game" and finally found this.

[@sunnymoon9799]

I googled catching snowballs with net lol

[@icyhotmike]

I did the same thing haha. I also played Midnight Rescue made by this same company. What a time to be alive... Such a golden era that will never forget

[@GoddessOfThree]

I'm SO GLAD I found this! It sounds stupid, but I've been wanting to make a little RPG video game inspired by the feeling this game has imprinted on my memories from childhood. It isn't the game itself, per se, nor would my game be really anything like this nor for little kids, but I want the aesthetic of it to evoke a similar kind of feeling I get from my personal nostalgia of this game (but more mature). I was afraid that seeing this for real after so long would shatter my "rose-tinted glasses" and make my vision falter, but it has actually helped me clarify the feeling I'm going for and mentally turn it into something I can make concrete. Thanks for posting!!

The gameplay bgm. This song. OMG. This has been an earworm for me for 2.5 decades without me even revisiting the game. And now I actually hear it again all this time later. It's like I met a classmate from kindergarten and hearing their voice again.

[@KearneyTv]

Perfectly put. Absolutely agree

[@brandonreevesmusic5408]

About the music: Earlier this year (2022) I chose to learn a new piano piece seemingly on a whim, and I had a deep connection with these games as a kid. It took me a minute to realize that the title screen music is that very same piece! “Invention no. 8” by Johann Sebastian Bach! Talk about synchronicity 😊

[@Kid0f89_official_01]

Ahh, the nostalgic memories with this game! Almost tempted to play it now!

[@Flowerbarrel]

Oh man. That clock part gave me traumatic flashbacks. I was horrible at telling time for whatever reason and never understood the instructions when I played this as a kid. I was eight or nine or something....but honestly, time still confuses me even though I’m an adult. I didn’t do well at the measuring game either and I still suck at measuring. I’d be a crying mess after playing those parts and never knew how to get them right. I don’t think I ever finished the game because of those minigames. It’d be annoying if I played it now but I could probably get through it...at least if could get over the memories of panic attacks it gave me.

[@DroppinLoads-g2c]

[@rutheli]

The master of mischief invented a magical machine that changed the weather by making a storm!. The clocks went cuckoo, the gold scales tipped, and the crystals crumbled!. In the end 450 treasures were needed to take the throne. The master of mischief was frozen by the crown's power!. From Joe. X

My thoughts exactly.

[@kristophershepard2563]

I once played the older version of this game before this version, and let me tell you the diabolical laughter on those robber snowballs caught me by surprise when I first heard them!

[@hanginlaundry360]

Snow Bullies!!!

I suddenly thought of this game. Found your video. Realized the theme music for the first level occasionally gets stuck in my head. I had no idea where it was from.

[@Circuitssmith]

I loved the bajeezus out of the first game way back when, but this one made me nearly pull the hairs out of my tiny elementary-schooler head. I never got to see the end because the endless replays frustrated me so much with no end in sight.

[@juleskainmusic]

Omg I forgot this game existed! Instantly brought me back 25 years

[@remainprofane7732]

This game has way better graphics than I remembered. In my head, it was almost King’s Quest V level graphics

[@101Volts]

Wow, I don't recall the Macintosh version's music sounding like this. I suppose I had an earlier version; The graphics were more primitive though it had some sound effects in common and when at the clock guy after he'd say it was correct music would play. Also, the snowbullies didn't move around as smoothly. The "Greater than" lady also had a different voice. The thing is the 1992 Windows version and DOS versions aren't the same as the Mac version though, it's like the Mac version was in between those versions and this one. I also think I beat this game once back in the day but never had it installed after 1999.

[@DeNamETae]

This is the V2.0 from 1996. You probably played the 1993 version!

[@Fractorification]

I used to play this during my computer class at pre-school. But, I sucked so badly at the math problems that involved 100+ numbers that I couldn’t beat it, lol. Good times. Never thought I’d see this again. I even remember the BGM.

[@ASiegelCADAL]

I don't know why but "everybody wants to rule the world" by tears for fears always reminds me of this game

[@mixiesticks]

This was the first computer game that I was allowed to play when I was a kid (besides that 3D Pinball game, Space Cadet). I remember thinking that the princess and the younger shopkeeper were so pretty and being scared of the snowballs because of their creepy laugh and how they chased me around the screen! It took me a year or two to figure out that I could hit them with the net

[@starflamanic]

omfg i remembered this from FIFTH GRADE! It took so long trying to find this game again because it's been years since I played it so I couldn't remember what it looked like, until I found Treasure Mountain and my sister told me "Treasure Mathstorm! That's the one we played!" god, memories..

[@Indigo1Black]

How many versions are there? My childhood has gotten used to the version that I have.

+Indigo1Black There's like 2 or 3 versions. Which version was the one you're used to?

[@Indigo1Black]

It is like voices are there but lips do not move. The detail is older schooled than this one. I think it was for window 95. It has the same gameplay. Different net style and Shop keepers. I believe it was year 1992.
