Dust off the DeLorean and prepare to journey back in time for: LOAD READY RUN. Step back to the 80’s with the Prospect Library to experience education that truly felt futuristic through 🖳Commodore 64 games that were vibrant, loud, filled with fun and focused on STEM learning.
Experience hands-on intergenerational fun and learning with our fully playable gallery of educational games from yesteryear including everyone’s favorite Granny’s Garden . A staple of SA Schools in the 80’s and 90’s thanks to locally based software publisher Satchel Software.
