The first computer I owned personally - a Packard Bell PC with an Intel 80486 processor which my parents bought me in 1995 - came with a fat bundle of so-called "edutainment" titles, which were all the rage back in the early days of CD-based software. The one which immediately caught my 13 year old self's attention was "3-D Dinosaur Adventure" from Knowledge Adventure. It was an eclectic collection of mini-games and activities, ranging from the predictable (two "Name the Dinosaur" puzzle games) to the unexpected (a 3D maze/time challenge) to the downright bizarre (a "Create-A-Sarus" feature in which you put different skins on wire-frame dinos and listened to their reactions). The program also included an ambitious database with hard facts on the creatures in question, as well as a movie section with lots of short clips, some of which utilized 3D animation.
