Overview
Description

3-D Dinosaur Adventure is an educational point‑and‑click game by Knowledge Adventure that brings the age of dinosaurs to life. Using included 3‑D glasses, players can view vivid 3‑D images while completing a variety of mini‑games and activities designed to teach about prehistoric creatures. The game runs on both PC and Mac, offering a single‑player experience suitable for all ages. Its engaging blend of learning and entertainment makes it a classic edutainment title from the early 1990s.

Portal is a first-person puzzle game developed by Valve. Players take on the role of Chell, a test subject who awakens in the Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment center. Guided by the sadistic artificial intelligence system GLaDOS, Chell must navigate through increasingly challenging test chambers using the 'portal gun,' a device that can create two portals that allow for instant transportation between them. As Chell progresses through the game, she uncovers the dark secrets behind Aperture Science and must use her wits to escape the crumbling facility.
