OK... so... because I don't have access to my physical DOS games, I need to somehow scrounge up two edutainment titles in short order for next month which are either free or inexpensive yet have enough depth to make entire ADG episodes about. I just spent two hours searching the net to no avail. Not that I didn't find tons of games, but every single one fell under one of two categories:

* A decent game to cover that I can't find legit copies of

* A game that's free or easy to obtain but too simple to make a decent episode out of

Anyone got any ideas? I'd advise looking at my alphabetically organized list of past episodes before making any recommendations: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html

Syndicate is free on Origin at the moment and is an interesting game I would love to see an episode on.

Syndicate? Edutainment? Nah...

Anyways, I'd kinda like to see an episode on Operation Neptune.

Syndicate as edutainment 🤣 The Gauss Gun is a good example of practical application of electromagnetism.

I don't see Math Rescue listed. Rescue Rover is a nice little problem solver, my grandson likes it.

There's a glitch in the matrix.

Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
