Trying to remember an educational game for the Apple II

Post by Mischief Maker »

It was a typing game where the player was a space station in the center of the screen and hostile aliens with words on them approached from all 4 directions.

The player had to type the word to shoot them in time. I recall you shot with some kind of lightning gun.

I have the name "type blasters" in my head but google is turning up nothing.
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

I remember a game on a shareware disc that was simply about walking round a virtual library in first person looking for a book with only the title to guide you.

primitive as AF, early-mid 90s.

Ring any bells?
